...misconceptions and misunderstanding, rather than actual practical matters.

What's the range of an F-150 Lightning when towing a small travel trailer? The Rivian R1T is ~150 miles give or take. I assume the F-150 is similar.

At least for towing, the math isn't great. Especially when you add in the cost - my Honda Ridgeline was $42k in 2021. EV trucks are roughly double that amount.

My Lightning was <$51K in 2024.


of course your ridgeline has other ways to hurt you :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWyjfbS7MMA


Funny because it's true.

It's the most boring and practical vehicle I've ever owned. But, it does everything, so I'm having a hard time convincing my wife I need a Ranger Raptor or (used) AMG GLE.


Don't forget it only drinks premium fuel. The #1 reason to avoid the raptor, otherwise it's very fun.

Test drive the tremor Lariat. Sure it's not the 3.0L but it costs a third to operate for a year, and you still go too fast in sport mode.


I don't think the Tremor is available in the US, at least not in '25/'26.
