I agree... The Silverado, GMC and Ram are going to eat Fords lunch on EV"s and that's coming from a Ford guy. The added range, especially when towing is a big thing. Even though I could live with the smaller range, the difference in charging speed is what's stopping me. GM's trucks can fast charge almost 3 times faster. You can gain over 100 miles of range after 15min. Even though a gas fill up is still way faster. 100miles in 15min is livable. With the lightning, you are waiting almost 40min for that same 100miles. Ford had a 3 year head start and they knew what their competitors were releasing. The least they could have done was to update the charging speed.to remain competitive. I am not sure how they think they are going to sell these things. They are already blaming it on low EV demand. No Ford... That's not it. I appreciate the review of the Flash... First one I've seen. The things I am disappointed they left out on a 70k truck are, no leather seats, no glass roof, no rear light bar... That confirms the Flash is not for me and that I would still need to jump up to the Lariat high package which is even more money. Although I am very interested in the Lightning and all my future vehicles will be EV's, I am very concerned spending that kind of money for something that is so already outdated and is going to seem unusable and worthless in the used market 5 years down the road when 600-800 mile ranges and 10min charging will be the norm. It looks like this is the first time I may have to jump ship to GM. ick...

I was about to get the Ford this month and then saw the range on the Chevy. As you stated, the Lightning is already outdated. I owned a Rivian and loved it but wrecked it 😢. I have a Tesla S now, but I am really a truck guy. Waiting on Chevy to do more than just promise the Silverado.

I am GM guy. But I can’t convince myself to pay for the price of the Silverado EV. I am going to test drive a Ford. If the Lightning is to my liking I will likely lease a Lariat. If I dislike the vehicle during my test drive I will probably wait a few years for the Silverado EV to hit the used car market and then buy one.

We always say go with what you feel is right for you! We love our Brand and can't wait to share more.

But you won’t have access to Tesla super charger stations as with ford.

Rod is the best - Thank you for your kind comment! We let him know. More to come!

i imagine they would. not much seems to have changed from 2014 to 2016 as far as the seats are concerned.

Congrats on the new ride! I speak from experience when I say those weeks will feel like decades. Same color combo too? We are huge fans of the white w/black roof.

yes white with the black pack, I really liked the wheels over the standard premium ones and that convinced me, I just re watched, does this have the carbon package as well?

This one didn't have the Carbon package in there, unfortunately! I just took a peek at what it looks like, and it's fricken awesome. The Carbon Fiber Shifter knob gives it some class to go along with the badass!

The regular premium dash is silver I thought? Can you confirm one thing for me, I have seen some cars with black painted grilles and others seem matte, what does the ecoboost come with standard?

did you ever find out?

I'm sure with the right tools anything can be removed from a vehicle.

Anything can be taken out why cuz it was put it.

I'm looking for same info.

Any update? Removable? Height from top of flat seats to ceiling?

Hey, don't compare a transit 2500 to a little transit connect.

you can get the cargo version with out the seats

I do want the (option to use rear) seats, I just need them to be (fully) removable. ...In the end, I bought a 2015 RAM Promaster City Wagon SLT instead of the Ford Transit. as seen in UA-cam video: k9H3xMAQr_Q The rear seats in the Promaster fold and flop way forward, leaving nearly the whole (solid!) cargo floor open and available. Even still, I plan to remove the factory bolts and take out the rear seats, and leave it that way almost all the time. (note: supposed to use new bolts for re-install) I have nothing bad to say about the Ford Transit. But for my purposes, I just wish the rear seating options in the Ford were different.

Please tell me what youthink of the promaster? Im worried about the 9 speed trans. Also worried about Nissans CVT. So thinking Transit of the 3 (city express is nissan engine too)

jonpaulevans I like my Promaster so far. I also felt that the Promaster's 9-speed transmission was a potential maintenance risk. Meanwhile the allure for me is how well it performs on the interstate at full speed, when gear 9 finally kicks in at around 75 MPH. I was specifically looking for that trait. Nissan CVT has known issues, and it's costly to replace, so I steered away from that. One other nice thing Promaster has is fully independent suspension, while retaining larger capacity specs such as towing and cargo weight. Again, I'm guessing you probably can't go wrong with a Transit. I too did a lot of checking before buying, and still bought my RAM. One last thing of note is that there are deals to be had right now on the still relatively unknown Promaster, regarding new 2015 models left on dealer lots.

Stay away from Promaster. My Courier company bought a 2016 new and it's needs a new engine already at 40K miles because of oil consumption problems. A Chrysler mechanic says its a known issue but Chrysler will not issue a TSB on it to address. Get this when the oil runs low, which is almost every 3K miles, the van.....shuts off when the oil gets low! Mechanic actually said: "yeah, that's a reminder built in...when the van runs low on oil. My Driver said that it'll completely shut off on him when he's on the highway sometimes...!!! Honesty, I wouldn't.

I really like the Transit Connect it feels agile and compact compared to other vans. No contest for the cargo Van's utility but I think the Wagon's average price puts it a few grand more expensive than a Dodge Grand Caravan SXT. Are you looking at the Van or Wagon?

TD H it is in the MANUAL.

Pacifica stow-and-go is so much better.
