THE F150 LIGHTNING LARIAT IS A TRUCK TO BUY USED - EVEN AFTER FORD CANCELED IT!

EV Channels Review

Despite Ford's abrupt cancellation of the F-150 Lightning in its electric form, this review of the 2025 Lariat trim remains relevant, particularly for the used market. The hosts highlight the truck's quiet cabin and comfortable ride, especially when compared to its gasoline counterpart, and praise its capability for hauling and towing, noting that EV truck owners tow more than ICE truck owners. The vehicle excels in rural settings, proving practical for farm work and outdoor hobbies, offering significant advantages like its massive frunk, lower maintenance costs, and potential for energy independence, especially with the Pro Power Onboard option. However, the review criticizes the vehicle's oversized nature for urban commuting, its large turning circle, and the increasing number of 'deletes' and optional extras that inflate the price. The hosts strongly recommend purchasing a used F-150 Lightning, citing a significant drop in value, making it a far better value proposition at around $40,000 compared to its original high price or a new gasoline F-150 with similar capabilities.
