What do you think of the F-150 Lightning? Revolutionary or overhyped?
27 January 2025 07:53
The Lightning is a huge step forward, but I’m even more excited for the inevitable second generation. By then, battery tech will have improved to the point that charging stations will be more common and prices will have come down. Preliminary users are blazing the trail, but it’s not ready for prime time yet.

I wasn't sure at first, but once seeing one up close, I'm sold. This has so many clever features, it looks like a normal F-150. It’s light years ahead of other trucks in terms of the software and tech integration. Ford did a great job of thinking through how people will use an electric truck in the real world.

It’s badass, no doubt. However, let's be honest, 90% of them don't see anything rougher than a gravel drive. For most people, it's way overkill. If you're actually gonna use it, you can build a pretty capable off road rig for way less money.

I have a Raptor and it’s worth every penny. It is amazing on and off road. Nothing eats up bumps and potholes like this. When you do take it off road it's mind blowing what it can do straight from the factory. It's not just for show.

It's a cool truck, but way too much for what you get. For most people’s needs, the regular F-150 with the FX4 package is plenty capable and costs way less. If you put that extra money into mods you'll have a better truck.

The Raptor isn't supposed to be practical; it’s supposed to be fun. And in that regard it delivers. It's a Baja truck that's basically street legal. Yes, most owners don't take full advantage of its capabilities, but the same is true of a sports car or any other high performance vehicle.

I think people are missing the point of the Raptor. It’s not about being able to go off road, it’s about being able to do so in a daily drivable package. During the week, you can commute in comfort and on weekends, blast through the desert. You can’t try that with a heavily modded truck.
How do you feel about the F-150's infotainment system - love it or hate it?

I have a 2022 with the 12 inch screen and I love it. It's very responsive, intuitive, and the graphics are really crisp. Apple CarPlay works flawlessly. The only thing annoying is using the touchscreen for climate controls, but you get used to it.

I’m old school, I hate how everything is buried in touchscreen menus. I’ll take physical knobs and buttons any day. The AC shouldn't have to take my eyes off the road to adjust. I think the tech is impressive, but not very user friendly.

Infotainment is fine; the digital gauge cluster is the real star. It’s so awesome to be able to customize the display and have navigation right in front of you. This makes the truck feel a lot more modern and high tech.

I've had SYNC 3 and 4 and 4 is better but it still has its quirks. It lags or glitches out sometimes. In theory, the over the air updates are nice, but they've caused me more problems than they've solved.

The tech in my new F 150 is blowing me away coming from an older truck. The 360 degree camera, the smartphone integration, the huge screen, they’re all very useful. It's got a learning curve, but once you're used to it you won't want to go back.
Is the Ranger Raptor's reduced payload capacity enough to eliminate its practicality as a truck?
24 January 2025 09:20
The reduced payload isn’t an issue for most Raptor buyers. It’s less about utility and more about the experience.

It's definitely a limitation. But I love the Raptor, so it’s a deal breaker for me.

If you’re just carrying camping gear or dirt bikes, the payload is fine. Most people use it for that anyway.

It's a truck, but with different priorities. If you want max payload, get a regular Ranger.

However, improved ride quality is worth it when you consider the reduced payload. It just makes it so much better when you’re driving on a daily basis.

I wish Ford would provide a way to increase the payload for those that need it. Maybe a beefier rear spring option?

It's a compromise, but a compromise that makes sense for the target market. Not everyone is hauling bricks in their Raptor.
Does the Raptor name set by the F 150 big brother live up to the Ranger Raptor?
24 January 2025 09:20
Absolutely! In a smaller package, the Ranger Raptor brings the spirit of the F-150 Raptor.
