FORD F-150 LIGHTNING 70 MPH RANGE TEST

EV Channels Review

The reviewer conducted a 70 mph highway range test on their personal 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning Lariat with the extended range battery and 20-inch wheels. The test conditions were nearly ideal, with temperatures in the low 70s Fahrenheit and minimal wind. The truck achieved a real-world highway range of 270.3 miles, with an average consumption of 2.1 miles per kilowatt-hour. While this fell short of the EPA highway rating of 283 miles and combined rating of 320 miles, the reviewer deemed this result "fantastic" for a large, heavy pickup truck. They highlighted the F-150 Lightning's exceptional comfort and quietness at highway speeds, even noting the effectiveness of the BlueCruise driver assist system. The reviewer anticipates significantly lower range in colder winter conditions. The video also touches upon home charging solutions and Ford's Intelligent Backup Power system, with plans for future content on these topics.
