@@ZachBrannigan I've seen the Not Just Bikes video. I agree they are crazy big but that's just American culture. We're ok with more deaths a year so we can have our big vehicles.
Question is: HOW MUCH MARK UP ARE THE DEALERSHlTS GOING TO CHARGE? majority of the Ford Dealerships past few years adding extra fees (which was somewhat illegal)... left a bad taste in most consumers.
I like that frunk too. One of my family members got a relatively small car and I think the trunk on the car is maybe a bit larger than the frunk here. It's just crazy what's possible with technology.
Why is it incredible? It's absurdely huge, very inefficient energy-wise (charging this 130 kWh battery will take forever thus having only 300 miles of range with this massive battery) and all that stuff that urbanists say: danger for pedestrians, unfit for parking lots etc. Classic 'murican 'city car'.
You driving that Rimac was incredible. Strong Shades of a former car show featuring three crazy men. But your reactions were legit. Thank you for that. Please do more driving in the cars you present.
You can't get factory wraps. And if this really is a "wrap" over a gloss black truck underneath then it's a huge waste of money. The least they could do is actually paint it matte black
They kinda burned the name with the mid 2000's reboot. Also, side from Mustang they don't make cars anymore. I'm not sure Thunderbird would work as a SUV or crossover.
Marques should use his connections with Ford to see if he could arrange MKBHD logo on stuff like headrest to make the super-limited F150 platinum "Studio" edition. 😃
It’s crazy how you can drive around in a $97k pickup truck, and nobody bats an eye. But if a young guy like me drives around in a Lotus or an Audi R8 that’s only $60k, I get harassed by people saying “daddy’s money” or “there are people starving in Africa while you drive around in that”
It’s assumed if you are driving those cars, you can afford maintenance and that probably means it’s paid off. These things are leased by every plumber in every podunk town despite being expensive.

*The worst enemy of matte paint is:* 1. Scratches: Matte paint is susceptible to visible scratches and swirl marks. 2. Bird droppings and bug splatters: Acidic substances can damage the matte finish if not promptly cleaned. 3. Water spots: Mineral deposits from rain or hard water can be challenging to remove without damaging the matte surface. 4. Incorrect cleaning products: Using abrasive or traditional car care products can ruin the matte finish. 5. Sun exposure: Prolonged sunlight exposure can fade and alter the appearance of matte paint. 6. Improper washing techniques: Using abrasive materials or improper washing methods can lead to scratches. 7. Gasoline and chemicals: Spilling gasoline or harsh chemicals on matte paint can cause damage.
I’m glad that they stuck with a body-on-frame design, they just got rid of the leaf springs and used independent rear suspension, improving rear ride comfort. That being said, I’ve seen the rear lower control arms and they’re massive and complex. If you get rear ended in this truck, it might get totaled if the rear lower control arms get damaged.
Honestly, as beefy and complex as they might be, the rear suspension components are the most expensive part of an accident, it'd be the frame damage. And with a full frame, youre much less likely to suffer frame damage or frame damage that can't easily be corrected, when compared with a unibody design.
Great review! Sounds like Ford is now like what Tesla used to be like! I like that they are listening to customers and making the truck better. I went to Tesla in 2014 and begged them to make a truck and was literally laughed out the door…
The all-black look used to be called "Murdered out", which makes sense here because Ford is killing it with this truck! Once they build in the NACS port in 2025, it will be amazing!
I respect Ford for trying new things and being responsive. My take Hyundai/Kai as an Ioniq 5 owner is that they're still in the old manufacturer establishment mentality of once it's out of the factory, it's done. Put major fixes in the model year 2 from now. Hyundai is giving some software updates and some are much needed, but they're much delayed. On the other hand, while some customers don't know what they're buying when they get a Lightning and make poor choices that excite EV haters, at least Ford leadership publicly commenting on the things they need to do to improve the experience of owning their EVs.
Yeah Jim Farrely has really changed gears since about EV's since the launch of this truck. The writing is on the wall and Ford is actually trying to make a good EV.
I don't know about anyone else, but living in Michigan right by the Ford HQ I've been seeing at least one or two Lightnings everytime I leave the house. This truck is going to push EV to the masses.
@@Kronos0999 Well plug in hybrids make sense.. Most people's driving, on the daily, could be done just using the battery. Oddly, they don't seem all that popular though.
Marques super impressed that Ford had an overstock of 2000 seat-sets from their gas models, and they decided to use them in the Lightning and call it special edition 😂
Black: its sturdy plastic trim, Black: wheels made of metal, Its wrap is blacker than a vole, Its pot is blacker than its kettle. Black Lightning, Black Lightning, two thousand will be made. Black Lightning, Black Lightning, you'll park it in the shade.
Everytime you were listing things in black it reminded me of Will Smith - Black suit, the black shades, the black shoes Black tie with the black attitude New style black Ray-Bans, I'm stunnin', man New hotness pitch black six hunnid, man
Marques; THIS IS YOUR CAR!!! super rare super special, all matte black, high tech - some may even call it dope tech, fast, and electric. except it isn't just "electric". baby it's LIGHTENING.
About 3 months ago I bought my 2023 F150 Lightening XLT and I absolutely LOVE it! So comfortable, great driving truck and fassssst! I wish there weren’t so many “anti-EV” people because this truck is amazing.
The line between “deserves a short” and “deserves a video” is blurring on this channel 😂 I’ve seen some shorts lately I wished were videos, and this is definitely a short
Companies are trying their best to impress Marques😅.Forget the specs,just make it matte black
They knew exactly how to get is attention
I'm pretty sure they didn't call him into a board meeting or something to ask for his opinion on what color the car should be.
This truck has the specs though.
I WANT TO SEE THE MKBHD LOGO
From the factory, I would expect a matte black PAINT not matte black WRAP. Weird 🤷🏻♂️
The way that trucks are made so massive these days is absurd. If there could be an EV truck in the form of a 2004 Ford Ranger, that'd be great.
That’s my dream EV. A Ford Ranger 2 seater EV. Small, light and utilitarian.
New car safety regulations are a big cause for bigger vehicles
Need an Electric Ford Maverick, love my ecoboost gets 25mpg average, and the hybrid is even better the electric would be awesome

Marques sitting in front of the car each episode is actually very iconic.
Yes, that's his brand 👌🏿
Fun idea: take a shot every time Marques says “black” or “blacked out” 😂
He's gonna love anyone that plays, as they'll then be blacked out.
I counted and you’d end up taking 34 shots. 9 of which would be within the first 2 minutes
You’d be 22 shots deep by the 3:43 mark omg
Black people say black a lot. Source: I'm black. 😅😂
This is a must buy vehicle for any African American named Matthew.
I can’t believe this is only $100k before dealer markup. I’m going to get one for each of my friends this Christmas!
Can I be your friend 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You still need to buy the chargers too 😆
Am I reading this right or I'm high 😂😂. 100k is just?
@@benblarney You are not high. Then you have to buy a charger for 10k
I give them props for pushing the bi-directional charging. This needs to be standard on every EV going forward.
3:22 what’s going on there with the sound? can’t blame the wind for that.
I'm waiting to see if he will reupload the video or edit it.
Ellis done fucked up
Who cares
probably Marques himself, he likes perfection.
I just got the 2023 Lightning Lariat Edition but with the blackout package and I love it! I am liking the smoked bar...may have to do that lol
Question is: HOW MUCH MARK UP ARE THE DEALERSHlTS GOING TO CHARGE? majority of the Ford Dealerships past few years adding extra fees (which was somewhat illegal)... left a bad taste in most consumers.
It’s already 100k and ford doesn’t allow dealerships to mark up any more
Order it like i did from the dealer and no markup
If you just have patients and wait they will practically give the piece of shit to you 😆
Yea we were looking last year and a base model that was 50k they were marking up to 90k. No thanks if it’s already from the factory 100k.
That’s what I call a “frunk”…decent size. Thank you, design engineers for these little things. Kudos and job well done
I like that frunk too. One of my family members got a relatively small car and I think the trunk on the car is maybe a bit larger than the frunk here.
It's just crazy what's possible with technology.
I will never use that "word". Dumbest name for a trunk ever.
It's huge. I tried my friends I actually layed inside it and he closed it lol

The smoked light lenses are sick, and would look awesome on all sorts of truck colors.
I'm neither a pickup truck nor a Ford guy, but have to admit, this is kind of badass! 😎
It would look sick on an EV Expedition also. They need to come out with an EV Thunder already, soccer moms will be buying them in droves!
I kind of agree, even though I'm pretty sure this thing is actually bigger than the town I live in.
It really isn’t

But still f150 lightning is still a pretty cool hidden homage
And it makes sense for the f150 because it's USA's best selling car

Nice. I love my wife's Ford Lightning. She has the black Lariat edition with the blue jeans looking interior. The truck is a beast.
It is just so much fun to listen to you when you really like what you are reviewing.
Looks absolutely stunning 🤤
Have the change port on both sides, opens the options for areas with shorter cables
it’s crazy that mkbhd vids are so error free 99.9% of the time that one single error shocked me so much

This is when you REALLY know the matte black thing has jumped the shark...Ford comes out with a factory matte black wrap. 😅
I will not be surprised if Ford F150 comes with a classic MKBHD Red with Black colour theme as an MKBHD edition in the near future.
Great video! Thanks :)
As a sound engineer I encourage you to put a low pass filter on the sound. It's very low rumble down there...
Your natural way of talking comes out much more in this style of shooting v/s a more professional shoot in your main channel. It is nice.
Road head mode is the greatest feature any company has realeased hands down!
What is that?
That car is going to be a million degrees when it sits in the sun for 2 minutes
🤨 probably not as bad as gloss black vehicles... mines 21 years old & I haven't melted yet
Dint expect a audio jump this bad!! 😅 3:24
Yeah I thought it was my phone.
MKBHD HAS CLONING POWERS lol
Great job on the video Marques! Thanks for making it.
The reflective lightning logo is a nice callback to the original 93-95 lightning.
The tacti-cool crowd will love it.
Interesting audio overlap @ 3:26
😂 an editing error in a mkbhd video is like finding a shiny or some shit
Love it. The lightning is probably my #1 dream vehicle. This just makes it better.
I do like the mix and match of the matte black wrap and the glossy bits.
How hard is something like this to keep clean and wash?
Like a normal truck, it's not any different than a normal painted truck
