So from what i can gather that discount is realistic if paying cash which is possible but maybe not the best long term bet. Ford doesn't offer discounts and good lease rates ...its one or the other.
As i was originally looking at leasing i ran the numbers that way. Based on the idea of a Electric flash vs a gas XLT/lariat ( hard to have real comparison as they have different mix of features across the various levels) the difference is about $100-$200 month less expensive for the electric vs the gas powered ( that difference will be bigger as gas gets more expensive ).
The annoying thing with the Lightning is the Lariat trim is something like 17 k above the Flash. From what i can tell it includes a upgrade stereo , sunroof , sliding back window , heated /ventilated seats. Seems a bit of a crazy jump to me.
I think all in all ( given that i would have to upgrade panel , would need to rent or borrow a different truck for long distance trailer trip , price difference wasn't crazy per month on a lease ) i might be better of with a gas .Suppose i should go and actually test drive both before I make a decision.
