The other real issue here is a truck in normal guise is a true single vehicle solution to ANY need. This removes the ability to have one, single car that can do literally anything you might need.
You yourself have backup ICE cars.....most are not like us with multiple cars with spares in some cases. A lot of people share 1 among 2-3 people

Ford still has the gas F-150s for those people. This is just another option that will appeal to people who want an around-town electric truck. I don't get the heartache about Ford putting this out there as an option. Don't want one? Don't buy it. Plenty of other people will. Options are good to have.

Its not like Ford needs huge incentives to sell this thing. They are practically sold out for the next 2 years. Sounds like EV sales will stall...due to lack of supply

But I don't need those ICE cars, they are mostly parked. I could live 100 percent without an ICE. I only have them because 1) God forbid if one of us gets into an accident and the car is totalled, good luck buying another one and 2) My Sienna still has another 10 years in her. It would be a complete waste of money to replace a perfectly good useful car with a new one.
BTW F-150 Lightning does everything an F-150 ICE does. To the T. It just doesn't have a conventional engine. Watch the review I posted

Is anybody surprised that certain people don't like this truck? Its pointless to even argue with them about it all it does is drag the thread down to another pro vs anti EV slugfest.

We're outliers. Average ownership is what, 9 or 10 years? Most people drive 10-12k miles a year, so it's not a big deal for most. They'll dump the car before any issues arise.

My business partner has a deposit down on this to replace his Ram, I'm interested to see if he goes through with it. This is really perfect for his needs.

You don’t keep your cars long. I do. I don’t want added complexity later in life. A hybrid 4Runner would have been a big turnoff for me and my latest purchase . More to go wrong later . So that is how I see a Ford Hybrid truck. You also have inflationary issues when you add EV components, a Ford hybrid is how much more than a gas 150? The full BEV F150 is how much more?
If I were buying one, I would buy a gas one. Range isn't there for me for EV yet. For my partner though, he parks it in front of his garage so its easy for him to charge, and we have chargers at the office. He never travels in it, they travel in his wife's Palisade. Its perfect for him.

As @SW17LS mentioned, it's pointless to argue further on this because you seem to be continually denying reality (reality being it can tow up to 10,000 LBS) and it's not compatible with aftermarket gear, which is completely false because any aftermarket gear that works with the regular F-150 is compatible with the Lightning, which is mentioned in the review video I posted. So until you guys face reality, we should probably move on to other subjects we maybe can agree on

I wasn't talking about you. All the usual anti-EV suspects have chimed in that they don't like this...and that should surprise no one. They wont like ANY EV. Has nothing to do with complexity later in life.
