For $35k, I would want an F150 lightning with 4wd and 4 doors. That would be a great value, and while not as capable as a non-electric truck, it would fit all of my needs.
For $60k, I'll just buy a real truck.
- busterarm 3y agoCan you even find Ford trucks for $60k anymore? Ford just raised prices _again_ on top of their dealers already adding insane markups without the brand curtailing that behavior. Plus everything they deliver to dealers seems to be optioned out the ass to the point where everything is $80-120k. My truck-shopping friends (that being most people here in the southeast) are all swearing off Ford and buying used from other brands for way cheaper. heck, Scotty Kilmer JUST did a video on this...
- linuxftw 3y agoI maybe would buy a new Ford F250 with the 7.3l. Otherwise I'd get a Chevy 2500 if I was in the market for a truck. The F150/1500s just aren't reliable anymore, and they cost as much as a 250/2500.
- busterarm 3y agoThose Godzillas are incredibly hard to come by unless you've got a commercial fleet or serious bucks to spend over MSRP. I looked around a couple of times in the last few years nationwide and was having an absurd amount of difficulty. A few leads in the PNW but that's the opposite diagonal of the country from me. Maybe buying used from someone's fleet. But then you're buying a used fleet vehicle...it was better for someone to sell it than repair and keep it in the fleet... If you have a good relationship with a dealer they can order it for you, but they're just as likely to sell it to somebody else on receipt for more money than you were. Honestly though I kind of prefer vans and I think discontinuing the E250 like they did after 2014 was an enormous mistake.
