FORD BUILT AN ELECTRIC F-150 RAPTOR! THIS IS THE LIGHTNING SWITCHGEAR

EV Channels Review

The F-150 Lightning Switchgear demonstrator, based on the XLT trim, showcases Ford's off-road potential for electric trucks. While not a production model, its modifications, including suspension upgrades, beefier tires, and revised bumpers, allow for impressive off-road capability, as experienced during a trail ride. The reviewer highlights the surprising quietness during aggressive off-roading, with only the sound of rocks and gravel audible. The vehicle's powertrain remains stock, making it a more attainable concept for enthusiasts compared to extreme builds like the Mache 1400. The video also features the SuperVan 4.2, with the reviewer experiencing exhilarating laps driven by Ford CEO Jim Farley, noting the significant difference between 'Road' and 'Track' modes. Overall, the Switchgear is presented as a fun, capable EV demonstrator with potential for wider exposure.
