The F150 Lightning Lariat Is A Truck To Buy Used - Even After Ford Canceled It!

[Editorial note: This is a reupload of an earlier video which YouTube cut short. Hopefully this time, we've got the full video - Enjoy! ] This video was originally filmed as a review of the 2025 F150 Lightning Lariat -- but the day we were due to publish it, Ford unceremoniously canceled all future F150 Lightnings - and instead promised the name plate would be added to a plug-in hybrid instead. We've got some pretty strong feelings about that here at the channel, but, save for an impromptu introduction filmed by Nikki in her studio with a cup of tea - here's the full review in its original form. ... Because while the F150 Lightning lariat is an expensive vehicle... sorry.. WAS an expensive vehicle to buy new, we think it's still worth buying as a used truck. Here's why. ---- *⏱️ Chapter Breakdown:* 00:00 - Editorial Note: Yeah, They just cancelled this truck in BEV Form... 03:51 - Introduction - Music: Southern Call - Black Motorcycle (https://artlist.io/royalty-free-music/song/black-motorcycle/130139) 05:32 - Montage - Music: Josh Leake - Young Summer (https://artlist.io/royalty-free-music/song/young-summer/3275) 07:06 - Yes, Nikki owns a previous model year variant 08:18 - It's a big truck... 08:40 - How many people use this truck... unfortunately 10:29 - Bluecruise 1.5 14:10 - A note about the B-Roll and our review filming 16:43 - Automakers say people want higher-end vehicles - we want to review entry-level versions! 18:03 - The F150 Lightning Lineup - And What You Can Buy 26:11 - Around Town 28:22 - The challenges of finding alternatives... 30:06 - It's better in the countryside 31:46 - Less Sunday Drive, More Get The Job Done 32:48 - Farmers DO use these! 37:00 - Closing Thoughts 40:54 - As a new vehicle, it's not good value... but as a used one?
