HOW FORD LIGHTNING REALLY DRIVES: FAST! SMOOTH! LOADED!

EV Channels Review

The 2023 Ford Lightning is reviewed as an exceptionally smooth, fast, and quiet electric truck that defies expectations for its size and weight. The reviewer highlights its impressive acceleration, achieving 0-60 mph in the 4-4.5 second range, and praises its independent rear suspension for a comfortable, gliding ride akin to an SUV rather than a traditional truck. Interior features like the 15.5-inch screen, ample charging ports, and the physical controls are noted as positives. However, the reviewer does mention noticeable wind noise at highway speeds, primarily from the side mirrors, and cautions about the vehicle's top-heavy nature due to its speed and acceleration. The reviewer also touches upon the wide price range, from the Pro trim starting around $51,000 to the Platinum trim reaching $96,000, emphasizing the need for buyers to align features with their budget.
