Will the *ALL NEW* F-150 FLASH save Ford EV’s?

[@loriw2661]

Six months ago I bought my 2023 F150 Lightening XLT. I absolutely love it. I travel to my job sites everyday and they’re all within 20 miles of my house. I charge every two weeks at home, while I sleep. I’ve had four F150’s, an Explorer & an Expedition, prior my Lightening and it’s THE best truck I’ve ever owned. The ride is smooth, quiet and it’s really fast!!

[@MichaelWillis-v9j]

Bought my 2022 Lightning in November of 2022. I now have 37,000 miles on it. It is my favorite all time vehicle including Suburbans, 150, 250, 350, 450 and my Corvette. Best all around, economical, comfortable and fun vehicle. My next vehicle sometime in the future will probably be the same optioned Lightning. Go Ford.

[@willp.9731]

Yeah, I just bought my '23 Lightning Platinum a few weeks ago. Absolutely LOVE it. Surprisingly efficient too. I'm extremely pleased. Yeah it was expensive, but I could afford it, and I feel that I got my money's worth.

I have about 13,000 miles on my 2023 Lariat Lightning. I confess I had some internal doubts when I bought it. Was I doing the right thing? Well, I love it more than I imagined. Smooth, quiet, comfortable, huge frunk, just a great vehicle - for everyday. Not just doing truck things.

Got a new 24 Flash for under $54k . They had a bunch of 2024 sitting in the lot. He's not kidding about how good the ride quality, features, and the speed this thing has.

I went from an 02 Tacoma to a Pro, so keep that in mind. I bought a Pro standard range with the 100k mile warranty for $51k after tax and license. I think you can get them even cheaper now. The range is about the same as my old Tacoma. The pro has more features than I could imagine. If you are going from an old car, you don’t need more than the pro offers. I tow a 12 ft cargo trailer, and can get about 170 miles out of the truck while towing it. It’s not bad if you’re towing a somewhat light trailer. I am very happy with my purchase. I also bought the pro charger and installed it. I can get a zero to full charge in about 8 hours from my house.

[@smiller225]

A f150 xlt 4x4 5.0 starts at 59 with 0 options, the lightning flash starts at 67 and has way more standard options so it's not really a bad deal.

[@paulrybarczyk5013]

​@@smiller225 Plus the Lightning makes almost twice the HP and torque of that XLT (0-60 MPH in 4 sec) while costing 5X less to operate around town. And it can power electric tools, or power most of your home during an outage. I like my Lightning better than all my previous V8 pickups.

[@john335i]

I have owned a F150 Lightning Flash for coming up to a month, couldn’t be happier. I love the fact that I can charge at home. No more worrying if gas prices are going up this weekend for whatever excuse they can come up with. In Canada the cost savings amounts to ~ $2000 per year to charge the truck vs. fuel the truck.

Not too many people on Earth with homes worry about the 8 billion lithium-ion batteries in smart phones. Then there's all the tablet computers, laptop computers, flashlights, jump starters, portable power packs, home back-up batteries, commercial batteries, cordless tools and over 6 million Tesla vehicles with lithium-ion batteries. The National Fire Protection agency and the NHTSA report far fewer fires in EVs than in combustion engine vehicles for miles traveled. An internal combustion engine vehicle lights on fire somewhere in the USA every 45 seconds. So, at all times in the USA, a gas vehicle is burning. It's a common daily occurrence. Ask a Fire Marshall or any Fire Department personnel.

Thanks for the first decent overview of an actual 2024 F150 Lightning. I wonder why Ford just didn't include the J-3400 / NACS adapter with new deliveries as opposed to having customers order it after delivery of the truck.

[@yayinternets]

It sounds like a simple fix, but both the manufacturing and logistical changes just don't move very fast and are complex. Multiple companies including Ford are having issues trying to have NACS adapters in stock and that should be a much easier thing to get right.

[@loriw2661]

I’m still waiting for my adaptor. For 6 months now

[@johnday2401]

I bought my xlt in Aug 2023 and ordered the adapter as soon as was able it just arrived. It's absolutely the best f150 as others have said. But there are a few gliches Phone doesn't consistently connect and the Frunk opens by itself randomly. Ford have been unable to fix both issues.

[@philipgarza3619]

I just picked up a Flash this week. It’s the sweet spot in the line up, all the essentials without the massive price tag. By far the most value for an EV truck available at the moment. I paid under $60K. Every other truck is well over $80K I had a reservation way back when it first launched, but passed because of the over MSRP price. As an owner of now my wife and I’s 5th EV (model 3, 2 Model Ys, and a BMW I4), the Flash goes to the top of being my favorite. Great tech, superior performance, solid range, and an all around practical vehicle. I agree with charger anxiety, the network needs to improve if this is going to make sense for people who take road trips. GREAT REVIEW!

[@ConstantineBassCovers]

I learned so much from this video. Thank you very much for all the information you shared. Cheers

Good video. Nice to see they updated the F150 Lighting. I see these on the road occasionally. Having access to the Supercharger network is a game changer for us. I own a '22 Mach-e with over 34,000 miles and do not plan to ever go buy a new ICE vehicle again. My wife and I just completed three separate road trips and found the vehicle perfect, even in the 115-degree desert. I'd love a Lightning, but don't have any need for a full-size truck anymore.

[@michaelkeyes809]

Ford should have put the NACS connector on the truck so new customers are NOT buying OLD outdated equipment for the North America market. This goes for all new EV'S in North America.

Hmmm I have a 2023 Lariat with 22k miles on it and love it. And, I do live in Central Texas in Elon territory and there’s a hell of a lot EV trucks and cars in Central Texas. But there’s one thing you didn’t mention in the video, what’s the difference for the cost of the Flash v. Lariat? So what’s the upgrade?

[@Libertarian_Neighbor]

This!

[@hcjpbluesky9916]

The heat pump. No? Watch Out of Spec reviews to appreciate how different EV trucks have thermal issues and address them. Pre-conditioning a massive ~120KWh battery takes efficiency down some, but can really speed up the EV road trip.

[@Chmo4414]

Ford needs to remove all trim levels from the lightning. They need to just have the flash. It will reduce costs hugely on the truck. They need to make 1 solid ev truck. Then when it’s profitable they can start offering trims again.

[@nickworks2341]

Great video. I like the flash. One day I will probably buy a lightening. I would love to see ford make a plug in hybrid F-150 and not charge an arm and a leg for it. $65k-$75k for a nicely equipped xlt or lariat plug in hybrid would be so sweet.

[@matt.ashman]

Not sure if you like Ram trucks but check out the new Ramcharger. If Ford could make something like that but more affordable it would be a big hit. For 90% of use cases you don't need more than 250mi of battery range. An integrated gas generator can fill in the gaps to solve the towing range problem.

[@Drewcardello]

They won't make a phev because it would CANNABLIZE the lightning.

Thank you for the video. The flashes the model I’m waiting for, but I’m also waiting for the Tesla plug so I don’t have to mess with the adapter or the awkward parking at the superchargers. Does the flash trim level have memory seats for the driver? Also, I listen to your videos with my headphones.

I think that Ford should have just started with Pro, XLT and that's it. Every truck gets the long-range battery. Keep the options similar between Pro and XLT, with just a few extras for the XLT. Just my opinions.

Thanks for this video. I like the changes/upgrades. Great to see the switch to a heat pump. I like this truck, and think electric would work for me. But it’s still pricey. I know this due to labor agreements, the cost of developing technology, the cost of insurance if technology fails, etc.

After test driving both Flash and Lariat, I gotta say: the Flash just feels so cheap on the inside and I couldn't stomach paying $60k+ for it when the Lariat is only $7k more 🤷🏻

[@WildernessGuyBC]

The preconditioning of the battery is heating the battery initially, not cooling it. It runs hot coolant through the pack to bring it up to the optimal temperature range to charge. After charging has commenced, it will switch to running cold coolant through the pack to maintain that optimal charging temperature because charging will inharently heat the battery. Preconditioning will have more effect in the winter when it's cold outside. All of this will of course, vary to some degree, depending on SOC and temperature.

I currently own a 22 Lightning and that would be a big issue today with the charging infrastructure. There's more on the road today than there were last year at this same time and were going on vacation next week. I'm not looking foreword to the charging experience during this time because most of the us will be on vacation also and guess what.....More ev's trying to charge and basically the same amount of chargers as last year. I do have my Tesla adapter so I have the option to use those, but pretty much every ev manufacturer will have access to those also in the coming months. To top that off, Ford nor apple has routing to these tesla chargers to automatically route you to them, so you have to manually add them. Ford needs to get with the program and update your maps ( I can't use charge assist while driving so that really doesn't help) and also if the charging stats are on the 24's why haven't the previous vehicles been updated with these features? Are ya'll listening Ford? I'm thinking Tesla should have charged all the auto makers that wanted to get on their network a fee to help expand the network at a faster pace since they can do it like no other charging company.

Pretty good review here, thanks for making it. EVs are going to take off in the next 5 years with improvements like the ones made on this Lightning so those chargers will pay off. I worked in the automotive business at a national level interacting with dealers. I always wonder why 1) Dealers feel the need to pump the manufacturers for money and 2) Dealers like to cry or imply poverty. Those chargers have plenty of subsidy money available through the government. Either way, good for you as a dealer for getting on board and installing them. There is a Nissan dealership in Bangor ME with free level 3 charging stations and they get tons of attention/praise from EV owners and likely are getting some business out of the service. The Flash looks like it pays off. Makes a ton of sense for me as a builder of all-electric homes. Going to go and check one out based on this video so thanks again.

EVs have only 2 problems. 1-Most are just too expensive and hard to justify. (Usually new products try to be cheaper then the competition to at least get some traction and consumer trust) 2-The charging experience is still not good, needing to have a different app for different branded chargers is very annoying. And although I think they are really addressing the amount of chargers available they do still need more. (I had the Jaguar I-Pace for 5 years and just bought the F150 Flash and I love EVs and they're amazing products to own we just need to keep at it, it's not going to be better overnight or even in years but it really is getting better all the time and I hope companies don't give up on it)

[@sesmeltz1965]

Great points. I still believe in Ford as a company. I’m buying a Sierra EV, but I’ll always be a Ford guy at heart. Ford missed the mark somewhat with the Lightning - the main problem is its charging speed, and that’s not something they can fix with the Flash. But as Ford holds off to 2027 with its next-gen, I believe that they will catch up in the long run. The F150 is the most popular vehicle in America because Ford has delivered what people want for a price they can afford. The shift to EV technology may have created a challenge for Ford to overcome - one that they aren’t currently the class leader in - but in the long run they will prevail. I bet in 10 years I regret not waiting until 2027 to buy my truck, but at the moment I can’t wait that long.

They need to up the range in EV trucks. I get over 1000km to a tank in my Raptor.

[@darylhopkins1627]

Stop lying! Raptors don't get that type of mileage,maybe 380 miles(611km) on a good day but not 620 miles(1000km)

[@rhscnative]

Don't forget it has a Bang and Olufson sound system. That is a very big deal.

Won’t get one until they come with NACS natively

[@ITMeCE]

I don't like the idea of everyone switching to NACS chargers because now that charger that costed 1.2 million$ to make, is now gonna have to change out every single one of it's charge ports lol

[@vincem4756]

Let’s get these electric trucks under $30k and I’m sold. I’ll turn into a truck guy real quick 😅😂 No lie this is nice though.

[@allenjanes5976]

Love to have one but gonna get the 2 liter maverick instead

So….. we save money by making the passenger side fender the same as all other models…. Yet we complicate the entire build process by adding an entirely new trim??? Why not just scale the price back on both existing models and be done with it….

Still happy with our Lariat Lightning at 10k miles, and our solar charging array is almost 10% paid for. another 4.5 years to free fuel. Got an oil derrick and a refinery in your back yard ? We live in Texas, and if we were in Houston, we'd have 5-10 days of backup power. The charging array also feeds a mini-split in the garage, and has 10kW of it's own battery bank. Combine the two, and you'd have 150ish kWh of backup power in case of an emergency. I know it's what people key on, but we've had ours for a year and a half, and still haven't used a DC fast charger. If you have a garage, you're going to have a level 2 charger, and be charging at home. If you're us, you're going to be charging with the sun...We have the Lightning, and two Mach-E's in the family.

Soooo. Ford copied Teslas charging strategy and cooling.only took 3 years.

[@monsterenergyfreak91]

They should have called it the XLT Lariat since they like reviving name plates
