Dang you Farley & the Bean Counters!! I am so freaking pissed right now at the enormous price increase & decontenting for 2025!! I was looking forward to ordering a CC Lariat with the 6.5ft box & 5.0L engine. Pricing out the 2025, vs. the 2024, means I will have to pay almost 4000 bucks more, only to get less?!?!? WTF?!?!? $83k MSRP for the 2025 & all I get is a fancy-named cloth seating surface & no power-adjustable steering wheel?!? Leather should be a given at that price point! Sorry, Ford, but as a Ford-only guy since May of 1990 (have only purchased NEW Ford's since then) I think our partnership is kaput! You have turned into the lazy wife who gained 100 pounds & does not want to give it up anymore. At that, I've developed a wandering eye & will be looking at another truck company to give me what I need. Stick it in your tailpipe, Fat Farley.........

I can’t believe Ford is going to keep making Lightnings. I keep expecting the announcement of the T3 so I can be jealous. In the meantime I’m enjoying my XLT 23 although I wanted a Pro but good thing I got my XLT with a 360 camera at MSRP 57k 😅. I bought the Lectron adapter, thanks to this channel, but I rarely use it and am still waiting for the free Ford one.

The Ford Lightning is hands down there best vehicle. With Access to the super charger network takes the frustration out of Charging on the road. Ford makes great reliable trucks. An EV truck with a compressor, battery and a array of outlets front and back capable of powering your work site is absolutely the ultimate utility vehicle.

Why dont these trucks come cameras that record to an SD card like Tesla offers? They have all the cameras but you still have to buy and aftermarket dashcam. Seems Ford would make this standard like Tesla.

That requires programmers and auto makers are not software designers. Farley said they Farm out the different devices for the lowest bidder which means the devices that need to talk to eacher for the cameras to record have different programing. In other words the same reason why only EV makers have security cameras because the built it end to end and the car is just a really big computer

Thank You. I have been waiting to see the differences for the 25. Can you give any information on when they are changing the plug to the Tesla plug so we don’t need the adapter also will they be moving the charge port to a different location to make it easier to charge at a Tesla charger? Thank You. We are about 12 months out before we are ready to upgrade to a new truck.

they are going to have to offer a longer range option to keep up with the Silverado and ciera at 450 epa. People that tow need that. And if anything, it’s just more convenient and less worrisome having more range. And it’s way cheaper to charge at home then at fast chargers.

Fwiw this is counter to the published specs, but i see them consistently and regularly top 180 kw even with multiple charges in one day, both SR and ER models. And could get faster through software update too, it’s more of a battery longevity thing. That’s why despite an 800v architecture, cybertruck charges hardly any faster. Have to hurt battery health to charge faster.

I really enjoy your videos. Ford is really shooting themselves in the foot. I want my father's pickup, love the safety features but I don't need 900 miles of range. I need a truck w/200 miles of range, decent capacity, and an affordable price. Give me a regular cab F-150 lightning, please. I owned several '90s Rangers because they were so affordable and had such a wide range of options. I already have a house payment, thank you very much. This is not directed at Long McArthur, just Ford. 🙂

@@longmcarthurford I respectfully disagree. Vinyl is tough flexible plastic and that’s exactly what active x is. it’s a bonafide marketing term to help fend off the negative cheap connotation that came with vinyl interiors from decades ago. I had it in our expedition. It’s fine for the price point and offers good value but not as nice as leather. The perforated holes did look a bit poor in quality but other than that it was fine.

Fewer features, more expensive, and still no NACS native. And even with the adapter, you still don't have access to V2 Superchargers. It feels like Ford doesn't want to sell these. If you want one, buy a 2024, don't get the 2025.
