Description
I compared the real cost of owning a Ford F-150 Lightning electric truck versus a gas-powered Ford F-150 V8 over 100,000 miles, including fuel, charging, maintenance, insurance, repairs, and depreciation.
📘 FREE Ford Longevity Checklist 👉 https://fordscope.com
Two 2024 Ford F-150 trucks. Nearly 100,000 miles each. One electric, one gas. And the real ownership costs tell a very different story depending on how you actually use your truck.
I break down what these trucks cost to buy, drive, maintain, and eventually sell. Using real mileage from a subscriber's trucks, I compare highway driving, public fast charging, home charging, towing, tire wear, warranty coverage, and the expensive repairs most buyers never consider.
I also run the numbers for a local contractor who charges at home every night. The results are surprisingly close, and buying used changes the equation even more.
In this video, I cover:
Gas versus electric costs over 100,000 miles
Home charging versus public fast charging
Maintenance, tires, insurance, and depreciation
Towing range and downtime on the job
Battery warranty and expensive repair risks
Why a used F-150 Lightning could be a better deal than a new one
Before you spend your money on an electric or gas F-150, make sure you're comparing the costs that actually matter for how you drive.
