Is The F150 Lightning Pro The Best EV Truck of 2024? 

Yep. Even with our higher auto prices and exchange rate here in Canada, it's getting down to the point where a work truck without having to live in it to pay for it is becoming a possibility. Add in the federal $5,000 rebate and things start looking yummy. Thanks for the great comment!

Glad it was helpful! Congratulations!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it, and yeah, there's a lot of reasons to have this one on the shopping list.

I love mine too. I must admit that I've grown to like all my trim perks above the Pro, but both are such an insanely good deal, even when factoring in an ICE truck comparison. Thanks for the awesome comment, and for watching!

I was in a similar boat but managed to snag an incredibly rare XLT in my neck of the woods. The Lariat is pretty sweet though! Thanks for the comment!

Great question. I would if I could. Demand for the XLT I have in Canada is high. Resale is easy. There's almost none of them. However, also in Canada, these Pro babies are few and far between - although I could also order one, I guess - but the likelihood of finding the one on my wish list is slim, since I would want the extended range, which Ford stopped producing for retail clients for 2024. My next foray will likely be an extended range version for more off-roading range, or the trail boss version of the Chevy/GM EV Truck. I have a pre-order for the Silverado EV, but who knows when they'll open it up for purchase outside the US. I love the independent rear suspension for short range towing, hauling and regular work stuff. It has limitations when off-roading but for FSRs and mining roads in the mountains - the stuff I do - it's so much better than my fixed axle off-road lifted and equipped Ranger that it replaced. Stay tuned for an upcoming episode with my buddy, who takes his extended range in places most wouldn't dare - consistently. It holds up incredibly well. can't wait to head out into the bush with him to film! There is rumour of surprises with tech development at Ford on the T3 project that might make the articulation issue of independent suspension a thing of the past. Can't wait to see what they come up with! Thank you so much for the comment!

The heat pump is a bug deal, not talked about much but supposedly superior in its efficiency compared to other auto systems, including Tesla's. I've chatted about it in other videos, but yeah, that's a great point! Yep, we 2023 owners scored a lot of standard perks that are now optional in 2024. Thanks for the comment!

Great point. I thought about this when I bought my XLT. Thanks for the comment!

I think you're making an excellent choice. That's a really smart strategy in my humble view. Thanks for commenting!

I replaced both my F-250 Powerstroke and my old EV sedan with a Rivian. In the Western US where I am, there is plenty of charging. I towed my travel trailer from the Pacific Northwest to Arizona and Mexico last year no problem. (The only inconvenience was a lack of truly high speed charging going into Mexico and back, which now that I can use the Supercharger network won’t be a problem again.) But definitely if you’re in an area with less rapid charging, an EV pickup may not be the best option yet. But the Chevy Silverado EV is definitely looking like a great option.

When you're towing a trailer, did you have to unhook to charge, or are you finding more pull-through stations in western US?

@@truckedupevs The Rivian charge network has at least one trailer-friendly stall per station. Most other networks don’t have a specific design goal of being trailer-friendly, but there are some stations that are trailer friendly by accident. (Some the chargers are in a far corner of the lot where few people park, allowing you to parallel park across multiple perpendicular parking spots to reach the end stall of the chargers for example.)

@@AnonymousFreakYThard to compare the towing capacity of my F-250 to anything electric. Glad it’s working for you but there are multiple days a year when I’m hauling 15k. Until they make a diesel electric 3/4 ton, electric isn’t going to replace that segment.
