FORD JUST KILLED THE F-150 LIGHTNING – LOYAL OWNER'S REALITY HITS HARD!

EV Channels Review

This video features a loyal, long-term owner of a 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning, Mike Gilbert, sharing his perspective on Ford's decision to discontinue the model. Gilbert, who has owned his Lariat trim since July 2022 and accumulated over 66,000 miles, expresses disappointment but not surprise. He highlights the truck's reliability, noting only minor recalls and praising its utility for everyday tasks, light towing, and even powering events. A significant positive for him was the integration with the Tesla Supercharger network, which alleviated 'charger anxiety.' While acknowledging the truck's dated technology compared to newer EVs, he emphasizes its strong value proposition, especially with current discounts, for homeowners who don't require extreme towing or long-distance road trips. He reassures viewers that Ford is committed to 10 years of software and warranty support. Gilbert plans to keep his Lightning, viewing it as the perfect homeowner vehicle, and has acquired a Tesla Model 3 Performance as a secondary vehicle.
