EV Channels Review
The Ford F-150 Lightning, in its Extended Range trim, presents a compelling, albeit expensive, proposition as an electric dual-cab ute. The reviewer highlights its immense power and torque, delivering exhilarating acceleration and a surprisingly sporty feel for its size. On-road, the ride is comfortable and quiet, with impressive handling and steering feel, despite the conversion to right-hand drive. Practicality is a strong suit, with ample storage and a flat rear floor. However, the vehicle's off-road capabilities are somewhat compromised by its breakover angle and potential for wheel slip, though the locking rear differential and off-road mode offer some assistance. Towing a 4.5-ton trailer significantly impacts range, reducing it by half, but the ability to recoup energy on descents is a notable EV advantage. The reviewer notes the high price point as a significant drawback, with some work needed on the conversion's integration, particularly regarding remote connectivity and off-road performance nuances.
