2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E The Mach-Eās interior seamlessly combines modern minimalism with nostalgic Mustang touches. A double-humped dash and pony-embossed steering wheel pay tribute to the iconic pony car, while a tech-savvy dual-screen set-up featuring a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster and a massive 15.5-inch infotainment touchscreen, emphasize its forward-thinking design. Sustainable materials, like ActiveX faux leather, are standard across trims, with perks like heated and power-adjustable front seats available on higher trims. With ample headroom, best-in-class front legroom, and 60 cubic feet of cargo space when the rear seats are folded, this four-door EV offers both comfort and practicality. A feature we love is the front trunk, lined with hard plastic, making it perfect for use as a cooler – just drain and clean when the party is over! 2024 Ford F-150 Lightning Staying true to its popular pick-up roots, the interior of the Lightning looks like any other gas-powered Ford F-150 with a chunky dash, generous accommodations, and durable materials. You get standard features like a 12-inch infotainment touchscreen that houses Fordās latest Sync 4 system, embedded navigation, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A Wi-fi hotspot is also standard, as well as eight USB ports. We love the front seats that fold flat so you can catch some Zās while waiting for a recharge. Obviously, there is tons of cargo space thanks to the truck bed, but you also get a front trunk that offers 14 cubic feet of storage space. This frunk is also water-resistant and has drain plugs.Trim Options
