You sound super tough, I'm impressed. Ford bait and switched with the Pro model. We don't have to be happy about it if we don't want to. It's my party and I'll cry if I want to.

Are these emails trickling out or should I abandon hope if I haven't got one yet? Does everyone's email have the same time stamp? I guess I shouldn't worry anyways, I was Pro or Bust :) I was happy to be in a Ford again after a long time, was even thinking of a Bronco in my future, but this...

Is this fully refundable if you cancel later? My dealer told me (and I asked twice), only the initial $100 and it's fully refundable.

What is this standard $500 down? My dealer told me that there's no deposit beyond the initial $100 when you placed your reservation?

Also got the pre-approval email today. Dealer can't (or won't) tell me what my place in line is. All I can say is that I reserved it right when the presentation ended (didn't know you could reserve it sooner).

Not sure, but now you have me thinking since my wife is 5'9" and this will be our "dog vehicle" so she'll need it for short trips. I see that the seats are advertised as "2-way manual" which according to this, just means fwd/back and recline...

Same here. I found out that my dealer doesn't do ADM, just their standard absurd ($700) doc fee. No add-ons, no additional deposit when ordering, which is nice. I'm okay with that, not worth switching around. They can't tell me anything else about my place in line and I've called other...

Yeah less contact patch equals less friction for sure. Other big factor is air pressure/sidewall flex. Some people get a different tire and it rides rougher, so they lower air pressure. Might have to keep these things pumped up to get good range. Hopefully the massive weight of the truck will...

Wow 20% is a huge hit, was there a big difference in size/weight? Lots of factors to consider. KO2's definitely aren't a super-efficient road tire, I get it. My plan is to find the best-looking/riding tires that still give me a range I'm okay with. I'm sure people will quickly discover...

I was asking them what my position in line would be at their dealership.

Just spoke with a friendly salesman at another dealer (who is pretty active on youtube about the Lightning) within far but still driving distance to me. He was unable to tell me as well. Hmmm

If I can't order a Pro, then I won't be ordering an F-150 lightning. I want the step up tailgate and bedliner, but not needed if that may slow down delivery. If they say I can keep my reservation and order a Pro later, I may hold the reservation and see, but at that point I'll be looking...

I just spoke with the General Manager and made it clear that I was just interested in knowing 1. Their allocation for the year and 2. My position amoung their assigned reservations based on my timestamp. He was straightforward and just kept saying "I have no idea, Ford hasn't told us anything"...

As many have reported that their dealer has told them their place in line (example, 5th out of 40 reservations), I asked my dealer if they could tell me. Their reply was that they have no visibility to this. Sounds like they don't know what they're doing. Should all dealers be able to see this...

Dealers are an unnecessary middle man that pretty much every single car buyer loathes. With Tesla proving that not having dealers is a HUGE selling point, and other startups (Rivian) coming online without dealers, legacy carmakers have to realize that they are at a huge disadvantage going...

I may have missed it and can't find the answer... I reserved the "WT or RTS". I'm only interested in the WT though I'm an individual, not a fleet owner. Will I be able to order one?

I don't know anything specific. I was meaning to say that I'd be interested in see what effect larger/more aggressive looking (like BFG KO2's) tires would have on the range. No way to know til someone tries it, and I'm sure someone will. For myself, this will be a commuter vehicle, so even if my...

I had a Nissan Leaf with an EPA range of 76 miles. I consistently got ~100 with my stop/go commute. Hwy is worse for sure. We won't really know til these things hit the streets and people report numbers. I hate all the wheel/tire offerings and plan to see what other people report on after market...

Not sure if you're saying that the power running boards may be a supply issue. But I'm guessing they require a redesign on the lightning. That underbelly is packed full of batteries so I would not be surprised at all if there are some challenges to designing new power running boards that fit...

Not sure if anyone noticed, but the Platinum says it has a 280 mile range (extended battery standard) vs the XLT/Lariat 300 mile (extended battery). I'm thinking it's because of the 22" wheels.
