The ram with the air suspension is the way to go if ride quality is your goal. And if you get the limited interior… it’s nicer than a lot of luxury sedans.

How many will look into the F-150 Lightning?

Electric pickups provide a rare & narrow "now or never" advantage to the first mover. They don't need a lot of parts to get sufficient "first mover advantage"; F-150 has big enough numbers that it's a small percentage to siphon off for that win. Tesla, while doing well, would need cut deeper into their smaller production numbers to meet/beat that challenge with something profoundly unlike what they can't build enough of already.

Except they haven't started building Lightnings yet. Latest I heard was towards the end of March. At this point early reservation holders are putting in orders and Ford is scheduling production based on those confirmed orders. @TessP100D is trolling us.

Wait…what. You want a photo of my 2022 Ford F150? It’s really nice, but still only a truck.

Not a lighting. It’s a gas powered truck. But…. I think you knew that. Sorry if I wasn’t clear. Not trying to piss anybody Off. I just needed a truck NOW and could wait for Ford, Rivian, Chevy or Tesla to get around to making one.

I've put about 35k miles on a 2021 F-150 Lariat as a rental work truck since the middle of last year and have loved it, the thing is so damn capable
Would be amazed if the Lightning isn't a home run

I'm sticking with Tesla. They continue to push boundaries and I am extremely curious what they will do with this one.
yeah. because Ford clearly hasn't invested in R&D and are just "winging it". Ford started the Team Edison in 2017 and the Mach E / Lightning have been developed for years. Unlike Tesla - Ford has the luxury not to start at "zero" and you can bet they reverse engineered Model S / 3 / X. I would be worried more about Software / OTA updates / functionality than thermal management or battery tech or motors. Volkswagen has software issues with their ID platform but batteries/ motors and thermal management appear to be solid.
Throwing money at a problem doesn’t automatically solve it. Maybe a later software update helped with this.
Mustang Mach-E Battery Charges Slowly, Overheats Quickly: Why?
Through extensive research and modeling, we dive into the Mach-E's battery issues. We also compare it to the Tesla Model Y and Volkswagen ID.4.
My Lightning is scheduled for Production 5/2/22. Let’s Go!
