Have a LR lariat scheduled for production in February. Black in color. High package. $89,500 is the price which is Msrp. I want this truck to work for my needs but I’m really unsure if it will. I’m willing to try it out but don’t want to lose money if I need to sell. If it’s risky I don’t want to buy the truck. I’m checking here to see if someone wants to buy this truck or if the experts here think I have room to try it out and then sell if for what I have in it after a few months.
LR Lariat advice

For a few months it was almost guaranteed that you would be able to get all/most of your money out of the truck if you flipped it. That time has passed, and each month that passes makes that scenario less and less likely.
I guess what I am trying to say, is that it is risky; unless you are willing to take a few thousand dollar hit for the privilege of trying it out for a while.

What kind of sales tax and fees are involved? I think you'll have a hard time getting every last 'what I have in it' dollar back if you include everything.
Sales tax and fees all in will be about $1200.
1200 is cheap, where you located? im coming there to buy my next vehicle
SC tax is capped at $500. Dealer fees $700. Forgot to say property tax will run about $1500. So, $2700 all in.

I'm in the same boat.
Still feel a little bamboozled that I reserved a $39k truck that was never available for me to buy.
Sticker on the ER Lariat I built was $88k, which will be closer to $96k after taxes and licence.
Then I got word that my maverick hybrid is getting built around the same time.
I think the writing is on the wall. Dealer can keep this beast.

When did you order the Maverick hybrid?
Don’t come to Canada. 13% tax plus another 20% luxury tax on anything over $100k ($CAD which is about $75k in real money, $US). Oh, and no EV subsidies on Lightnings. No one said communism was cheap.
What are your needs that you are worried about? If we knew that, we could probably be helpful.
Do you drive more than 200 miles between overnight charging? If not, you'll love it.
Running power equipment off it - subtract a mile off that 200 mile range for every 1500 kwh, and decide if you can manage. And if you need on-site power, and don't use up the battery, you'll love it.
If so, do you have fast chargers where you will be working and time to use them?

I'd plan for 200 miles between charges, assuming no trailer or wind-dragging equipment. That gives a 25% or more buffer.
Trailering more than 100 miles, you'll be disappointed.Running power equipment off it - subtract a mile off that 200 mile range for every 1500 kwh, and decide if you can manage. And if you need on-site power, and don't use up the battery, you'll love it.

By fast chargers, I mean at least 150 kwh, and preferably 350 kwh. Though the truck won't charge at more than 155 kwh, it will probably charge at about 120 kwh (2 kWh/minute). And after 80%, instead of 2 kwh/minute, charging slows to about .9 kwh/minute. Since the battery holds 131 kwh, it is simple math to figure how much long you'll spend charging the truck on the road.
I would say you can even squeeze a little more than 200 between overnight charges depending on driving habits and what time you leave and get home each day. My daily commute is about 72 miles one way. I usually have between 60-90 miles left in the range when I get home and plug in. Right now I'm just using the mobile charger, but the pro charger will be here sometime this week so I'll have a little more freedom of movement. It's a little tight using the mobile charger only and driving that far, only because of the charge time with the mobile charger. I usually have to be plugged in by 7-8PM so I can leave at 6:30 the next morning.
