I COULDN'T SAY NO TO THIS NEW FORD F-150 LIGHTNING FLASH! MY NEW ELECTRIC TRUCK

EV Channels Review

The reviewer has taken delivery of a new 2025 Ford F-150 Lightning Flash, replacing his Tesla Model 3. He highlights the Flash trim's key features: the extended range battery (though noting a slight reduction in usable capacity for 2025), the 9.6kW Pro Power Onboard, and the B&O sound system. The purchase was significantly influenced by employee pricing and the Ford Power Promise rebate, which brought the price down considerably. The reviewer points out several 2025 model year changes, including the removal of the center console fold-out desk on lower trims (now exclusive to Lariat/Platinum), the elimination of the pretend charge port cover, and the loss of phone-as-key functionality, requiring the key fob for driving. He also notes a discrepancy where his truck, despite being on the window sticker, lacks the tailgate assist damper, a feature present on lower gas trims. Despite these omissions, he praises the truck's utility, the new 'Space White' color, and the inclusion of the tailgate step. He plans extensive future content, including comparisons with his Rivian R1S and detailed reviews of the sound system and charging performance.
