EV Channels Review

This episode delves into the "Northern Lightning" project, detailing the preparation and initial leg of an ambitious journey to Deadhorse, Alaska, in a Ford F-150 Lightning electric pickup. The team highlights the modifications made to the Lightning, including the addition of a lightweight Four Wheel Campers Project M shell, a custom interior storage system, and BFGoodrich tires. While these upgrades enhance its overland capability, the review notes they do not improve range. The discussion also touches upon emerging trends in the overlanding community, showcasing new vehicle debuts like the GMC Sierra AT4X with AEV enhancements and advanced suspension systems. The F-150 Lightning's performance with the added camper weight is assessed, with the team confirming it's close to its maximum payload but still within limits. The review emphasizes the practical challenges of EV overlanding, particularly concerning range and charging infrastructure, and expresses excitement for future adventures with the truck, including potential off-road excursions in Moab.
