Anyone have any guesses on when we will find out information on the reservation to order conversion rate? I am guess Ford will wait until after all of the 2022 orders are in (if they say anything), but it would be really nice to know after each wave!
I have been toying with an idea the last week or so, assuming I am looking at a 2023 or 2024 Lightning. I am currently in a situation where I will soon (early 2022) have some significantly increased cash flow until ~Fall 2023 (Oldest going to college). My currently plan is to triple the...
Looks like reservations are up to 160k

High Demand for Ford EVs: Lightning, Mach-E, and E-Transit
Order banks will help manage demand, Ford CEO says during third-quarter earnings call.

Ford's bet on...
Saw this on Reddit, if this is really what Chevy is bringing out, we all made the right decision going for the Lightning - at least based on looks.

But probably not what you think.
First a little background. I current have 2 cars for myself, a 2016 F150 XLT and a 2019 GT350 (obviously a Lightning reserved - likely a 2023). I have a daughter going to college in 2023 and just realized this morning that my factory powertrain warranty on the...
This is for the ICE F150 but very applicable to the Lightning. I didn't expect the huge effect from the "sport back" bed cover. I wonder if we will see a market for them going forward.

Nugget at the end - Ford confirms they are sold out for the next 2 years with the Lightning.
With order banks opening soon, I find myself really struggling between a "loaded" ER XLT+ or an ER Lariat and I just can't make up my mind, so I am looking for input on both side to help me make sure I have considered everything. Here is how I plan to use the truck (Note, a base 2016 XLT is...
A few years ago, my family was in Detroit for a weekend and we did the F150 factory tour (which was great - I highly recommend it to anyone interested in trucks or Ford in general). The current tour is themed around the conversion to the all aluminum body for the F150.
Given the new factory...
This thread lists that the regular 2022 F150 order banks will open on Sept. 15. Do we think the Lightning order banks will open at the same time or later?

So - I really have no interest in the Tow package (I use my truck for hauling, not towing - don't even own a trailer). The scales would be neat to have just as a party trick and to make sure I don't overload the truck when hauling, but nothing else in the package interests me. And less...
Just wondering what people's predictions were for when Media versions of the Lightning will start going around for reviews? Was also wondering if they will do "meet and greet" style events for the Lightning like they did for the Mach-e. Based on the Mach-e that was just before they went to buyers.
