I got my Lightning!

[tx_rivian]

Well, I've been waiting on Rivian to deliver for years and still have never really had any serious contact from them. I reserved this truck less than a year ago and picked it up in June '22!

I'm loving it so far. Charging on 120V is not great, but I'm not driving like I was pre-C19. I park it on Sunday and have 80-90% by Friday.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Nice truck, I'll miss mine. Ford has the advantage over Rivian in several areas imho.

Is it a Platinum trim? Did you have to pay over MSRP? Are you getting a charger installed?

I hope that you enjoy it and drive it in good health!

I decided to keep my Rivian and sell my lightning. The Rivian drives so much better IMO and I like the smaller size.

Nice looking truck! Ford did well with this. I have no need for a truck that size or I would have jumped on one myself. Hope you enjoy every minute with it!

Get a charger should cut the charging time by many days
Big fan of the Lightning. Real truck!

Looks great!!

Best of luck with it.

I'm assuming you still have an active pre-March 1 priced Rivian reservation? Have you decided what you're going to do with that? Some $$ to be made if you are so inclined.

I think that’s an XLT.

Nice looking truck. What's the payload with your trim? Have you had an F150 before? If so, does it feel any different besides being quicker?

You can differentiate an XLT by the flat sided tailgate and the LED light bar above the grill.

This one appears to have the optional 512 package with 20” Lariat wheels, color coded mirror caps and door handles. Mine should be arriving this week.

I'll have to agree the Ford has some nice options/accessories that I really like. And II'm really split on which I prefer. But the slightly smaller size and the off road capability will probably...most definitely mean ill keep the R1T

Charging the truck using the 120V exclusively is a good way to ruin your battery. Level 2 charging is best for longevity.

It's the XLT high trim. I paid MSRP and received my charge station since I got the XR version.

I was really looking forward to the size of the R1T. I still love the back seat when it's folded up in the F150 so much more although. So much space to carry stuff.
