    but you still paid $20k more than the gas equivalent for something that has to spend more time to charge than it can be driven.

    426 horsepower and 775 lb.-ft. of torque

    but its also instant and no gearing.

    It puts my old 1999 lightning to shame and it was fast in its day.,

    You nail it at 60 and it moves



    3 bucks for 80 miles.

    Probably cost me 11 bucks in the Expedition.

    You win if the trip was less than 80 miles round.

    Some day we will all have these but that day is not today. I'm glad it works for you. I need a car I can jump in and drive to AZ over night or do stuff I do with large SUVs.

    Like I said some day.

    Have fun with it.

    What are your torque and HP numbers.

    if you did not jump on the pro at launch you would be paying 15k more now to order one and I would not have bought it.

    If you order a car or truck most dealers do not charge a dealer mark up but I would ask and get it in writing. They add a mark up when they order them for the lot.

    Also with the changes to the fed rebates 2023, chances are most people will not qualify due to the cost of the car or the family income.

    it gets me where I want to go and it charges over night while I am asleep

    4 hours on my home charger 48amps will fill the battery from 10% to 90% and that is where you should stop for the health of the battery

    The couple I looked at when we bought the wife's round town car were comparable in price with like optioned F150s. They had mark ups but I'm pretty sure I could have got them to dump it cause they were on the lot for 3 weeks at the time.

    Some times they are stubborn but we have bought so many cars from them over the years that they have always removed the mark up. It's a condition of opening negotiations.

    Anyways, I was tempted for the wife with the rebates n such but DFW is still so big that she has to drive a couple hundred miles to other stores around town without the down time to charge.

    And we still need a car with legs to go 15 hours with short stops for gas.

    The tech is just not mature enough yet..

    One day.

    the numbers came right off of fords website.
    I'm just looking at MSRP of in-stock or in transit like/comparable F150s in DFW.

    The Lightening Supercrew 54,865. GP Ford
    The ICE Supercrew 56,775. RW Ford

    Before rebates credits discounts etc.

    This is what I've seen in the few times I have looked over the last few months.

    Rebates are starting to creep up, as are discounts and tge tax credits are changing but anyone should be able to negotiate a couple grand off a new vehicle. In this case the ICE costs more even though they are optioned pretty much the same. They are at 2 different dealers and I onky spent 30 seconds looking.

    ETA when inventory levels return to normal the discounts on both of those will put them in the mid 40s.

    Prior to the chip issues I bought more than a couple F150s with 15000 dollar discounts off msrp so there is alot of fat in those prices.

    You can easily see the tradesmen type models at around 40.

    If your window sticker shows $39000 then cool. Even at that price I still don’t think it’s worth the money.
    The window sticker does not show that amount. It has to be adjusted to the current price of the car in the event the person who ordered it does not buy it.

    Ford can't adjust the window sticker price after its produced.

    Ford offers Price Protection on a vehicle you order set at the time of order in the form of a rebate that can be applied to the sale.

    Well glad you like it. It does for you what you need it to do. For other folks it does not fit the bill. To each their own. I'd be interested to har what the experience is after several months to a year. How does the battery act when it is 100 degrees ouside and does the AC keep you cool. That kind of stuff.

    Mac Hiak listed my trade in for 2K more than I paid new.

    I guess I should have hounded them for more on the trade in value.

    friggin crooks.

    If someone happens to be interested in it let me know before you buy.
