  1. Conversion Rate

    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!
  2. Am I crazy or brilliant

    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...
  3. Run in with a small fleet of testing Lightnings

    Not my video, but a pretty good / quick comparison of the existing trims.
  4. 160k reservations for 2022 F-150 Lightning so far

    Looks like reservations are up to 160k https://www.motortrend.com/news/ford-earnings-report-high-ev-demand/ 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. October 28, 2021 Ford's bet on...
  5. Teaser image for Silverado EV

    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. https://images.hgmsites.net/hug/gm-chief-ev-officer-travis-hester-with-chevrolet-electric-truck_100770538_h.jpg
  6. A fateful decision... Am I making the wrong call?

    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...
  7. F-150 aerodynamics modeling

    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.

  10. Help Deciding on Trim

    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...
  11. Neat little video on some manufacturing / assembly tech for the Lightning

    Nothing to crazy or out of the ordinary, but fun to see none the less.
  12. New Factory Tour?

    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...
  13. Order bank opening date for Lightning

    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? https://www.f150gen14.com/forum/threads/2022-f-150-ordering-start-of-production-dates.3660/
  14. Tow Technology Package and resale value

    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...
  15. Predictions on timing for media reviews and "meet and greet" events at dealers.

    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.
