2022 FORD F-150 LIGHTNING — DM REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The Daily Motor team provides a comprehensive first look at the 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning Lariat, highlighting its revolutionary status as America's best-selling vehicle goes electric. They praise the familiar F-150 platform adapted for electric power, noting the spacious interior, comfortable seating, and the impressive B&O Unleashed sound system. The frunk is deemed a useful addition, capable of fitting a person, and the truck's acceleration is described as "terrifyingly fast" and "as fast as the X3M." However, the review points out several annoyances: the "toyish" and clunky shifter, the inconvenient placement of drive modes within the infotainment screen, and the lack of a readily visible battery percentage display. The reviewer also criticizes the marketing around powering a house, suggesting it's more complex than presented. Despite these criticisms, the overall sentiment is positive, with the powertrain and driving experience overshadowing the minor flaws, marking the Lightning as a significant milestone in the EV market.
