    I think the base model has something like plastic seats and low mile range battery too.

    The problem with the chevy there, is that it's......a chevy.
    Regardless of 1/4 mile times, I wouldn't trust a GM product's reliability as far as I could physically throw it.

    Uh “literally no one ever”? Wtf are you talking about, I can show you tons of F150 Lightning Pro’s and even an XLT for around 45k, you include the $7500 tax credit and real price becomes ~$38k. Less than a new Tacoma.

    Dealers are having trouble selling them so some are having to discount - but $10k off? I have zero doubt those prices already include federal and where available, state subsidies. I see several of your listings are in WA state.

    Here’s the pricing near my area in NC-
    lowest starting at $51k+ for last years new model 2023. But if you really think you can buy one new for $38k, or even $45k go for it and post the receipts.

    The new 2024 lightings for sale around here are high end models over $70k.

    Try checking 2024 Lightning models like I referenced in my post and see what you get for your area.

    Yeah i posted a 30 second carguru search that turned up more than 5 for under $46k within 500 miles of me in GA. Those are in FL and AL not WA.

    I promise you all the dealers offering around that price aren’t make believe and imaginary. I know it can be hard to believe that a truck getting 60+ MPGe with a 3.9 0-60 is priced the same as a new tacoma.

    You seemed to care enough to reply to a post that wasn’t directed at you? Strange…

    The lightning goes 0-60 in 3.9 and beats the TRX in a drag race and can be had for $45k. That’s the connection to drag racing.

    Just stating facts, I’m sorry if they offend you. I’m bias towards Toyota, if the lightning had a Toyota badge i would already own one. I’m waiting on the 2026 BEV Toyota truck.
