ONE YEAR WITH MY FORD LIGHTNING FLASH!!!
A year ago, I upgraded my Lightning Pro for a Flash! I absolutely loved my Pro with the vinyl seats / floor and “no frills” but got the opportunity to buy a Flash for $52k, 0% interest for 72mo. This upgraded me from an SR to LR pack, 9.6kW ProPower (Pro has 2.4kW), BlueCruise, faster charging, etc.
In the last year I’ve driven this awesome truck ~16,000 miles, towing large trailers well over 4,000 of those miles!
This truck tows like an absolute dream and typically has us driving 2 hours between 30-40 minute stops. Not the fastest towing rig in the world, but no maintenance, instant torque, and reliability are worth the trade offs to me.
The software in this truck is acceptable but could be better. With the Lightning stoping production for good, what we have today is likely what this truck will live with forever. For a truck, it gets the job done and has some awesome features like zone lighting, ProPower when the truck is off, backup assist, etc that are absolutely phenomenal!
This truck has taken us all over the East Coast and Midwest this last year and I can’t wait to see where it takes us next! From the top of Mount Washington to Northern MI, we’ve had a blast!
Service from Ford for this truck has been absolutely phenomenal! I’ve had to have it worked on twice. Once for a recall and once to have a sensor fixed that I broke. Both times they came to my house, took the truck for the day, and brought it home with the job complete. And I’ve only ever had to wait a few days. So far, it’s been the best service experience I’ve ever had!
Here’s to more years behind the wheel of a Lightning! 🍻
