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 argues strongly for its value as a used vehicle. The host highlights that while expensive new, the Lightning excels as a capable work truck, particularly in rural settings, offering robust hauling and towing capabilities, and useful features like Pro Power Onboard. The review criticizes the vehicle's oversized nature for urban commuting and notes the removal of some standard features in newer model years as a form of 'value engineering.' However, the core conclusion remains that the F-150 Lightning, especially when purchased used for around $40,000, presents a compelling alternative to new gasoline trucks, offering lower maintenance, better energy independence, and significant utility for farms, ranches, and country businesses.
