FORD F-150 LIGHTNING - THE ELECTRIC PICKUP TRUCK YOU NEED TO DRIVE

EV Channels Review

The Ford F-150 Lightning is presented as a highly usable and familiar electric pickup truck, successfully bridging the gap for traditional F-150 owners. The reviewer highlights its quiet operation, impressive instantaneous torque, and the convenience of the front trunk ('frunk') offering 400 liters of storage. The independent rear suspension is praised for improving road manners and handling. While the standard range model offers a 230-mile EPA estimate, the extended range can reach 320 miles. A significant drawback noted is the charging speed, capped at 155 kW, and the substantial range reduction (around 100 miles) when towing. Despite these limitations, the Lightning is deemed an excellent option for most daily pickup truck needs, offering a sensible, familiar, and efficient alternative to gasoline-powered counterparts, especially for those looking to avoid high fuel costs.
