![]() No rear signature light bar for the XLT is also a miss by Ford as that would point out the Lightning as special for more customers.and the price for the XLT High (312A) is a big jump in price. No memory driver's seat for the XLT seems cheap. The cloth seats only come in one color and I question their resistance to dirt plus the side bolsters do not seem stiff enough. The 5.5 foot bed is a touch short while the 2nd row seating has lots of knee space and the seats fold up for a fantastic flat floored room. Good spot in the bottom section to store all the many various 240Vac power adapters that you will need to plug in your "mobile charger" when traveling. Is that approximately ~four week repair time acceptable for consumers? That is a lot of total days out of service, somewhat due to many dealers are not up to speed for EVs and low supplies of parts in the Ford network and delivery times.įrunk total space is nice, but oddly shaped and pretty tight for two sets of golf clubs. So vehicles, a 0.1% failure rate that we know about. Furthermore, reported just in the F-150 Lightning forums, there have been at least 15 reports of HV (high voltage) battery failure in these first 9 months of production of 15,000 vehicles. On top of those concerns, there are too many down DCFC (direct current fast charging) stations, so long distance travel is risky and Ford does not seem to be actively trying to correct that situation. Range seems very optimistic at 230 miles for the 98kW-hr battery when driving 75% of miles on the freeway at 67mph and only getting 2 miles/kw-hr or much worse at any higher speed, or in colder weather, or towing! Recent "distance to empty" … software update seemed to increase Ford's optimism of available range. The truck fit and finish is great, but electricity costs are cutting into some of the expected savings over gasoline. Not what the American icon Henry Ford would have ever wanted. This practice needs to be looked at, This is unfair and sad. I’m not a millionaire I’m sorry, just an average joe trying to buy a car not get ripped off. This $7500 walked me away from the deal today and quite frankly has left myself and my family so upset. I talked to Ford direct and other dealer that confirmed this should not be happening because Ford agreed not to mark allow dealer up their vehicles. I spent all day, 11:15 to 6.15 trying to buy a Ford Mustang Mach-e and This dealer charges $7500 more on top of msrp. The dealership on the other hand only cares about there over priced markup cars. The salesman James truly cares about his customer. Only 1,109 Miles! Avoid the long production times and drive your new lightning home today! This vehicle has also been Ford Blue Advantage Gold Certifi. Located in Delray Beach, FL / 1,656 miles away from Rutland, ND ![]()
