EV Channels Review
The 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning Lariat is revisited as a practical family vehicle, offering a familiar F-150 experience with an electric powertrain. The reviewer highlights its spacious interior, comfortable ride (thanks to independent rear suspension), and impressive acceleration, noting it feels like a truck that happens to be electric rather than an electric vehicle trying to be a truck. Key advantages include significant cost savings per mile compared to its gas counterpart (4 cents vs. 18 cents), ample storage with the "mega power frunk" and versatile bed, and ease of child seat installation. Downsides mentioned are the exterior color's tendency to show dirt, the rear-view mirror's limited visibility, and the BlueCruise system's perceived lack of relaxation. While not ideal for heavy towing, it's praised as an excellent family hauler and daily driver, especially for those in regions where full-size trucks are the norm.
