How are you getting 2.2mi/kw? We live in southern Utah and we get 1.8mi/kwh the last 12 months mix of city and freeway driving.

You must be doing more freeway than me. That high speed travel kills the range.

Awesome reviews Mark. I had a thought regarding not being able to haul your trailer up to the cabin and home again with the F150. I wonder if you could use an Anker F3800 as a 'ferry tank' and either pre-charge and haul it with, or have it based at the cabin (if the cabin is not off the grid.) I'm no engineer so I have absolutely no idea if it would provide the needed range, but it's where my brain went when you mentioned that issue. Cheers!

Wow, I'm not even remotely in the market for a truck but I still enjoyed watching this. It seems like GM got a lot right with that Sierra Denali. I love the ability to put full 4x8 sheet goods into the bed. One question about the Lightning and the towing range: what prevents you from charging the Lightning up at the cabin? It seems like that would get you the range you need to get back.

It would be cool to see the GMC with a carbon fiber body and frame for weight saving. I’m sure it would be way more expensive but some people would pay it.

Any reason why you didn't consider a Rivian R1T at the time you got the Lightning? Too off-roady for your uses? It's faster than the Ford and I do believe it's also quieter now :)

I don't have range anxiety. I aim to drive my battery down to zero, when driving home or to another place with known alternate chargers on the way. Tesla does predict range reliably (once navigation is on).
@gix4011 күн бұрын
Need to place a home charger at the cabin. Then, purchase a Rivian or a new EV Silverado for the EV look, range, and performance. You will definitely look back at it as you walk off. Correct, The Litening is a basic F150.

@bartoszskowronski11 күн бұрын
not a range anxiety, but final reserve. like in airplines. so usable range is: car range minus final reserve. so 150miles of range is 2x more usuble range than 100miles (because on both you have 50miles of rinal reserve)

What do you want improved on besides range? The standard F150 frame does not have maximum space between frame rails. This will change on gen-2 so more batteries can be squeezed in.

Thanks Mark. I have long needed an new/electric vehicle, and made a deposit on the CyberTruck, and almost decided on the Ford instead, but then GM came out with the G.O.A.T. EV truck. Ford Dealers were marking up the Lightning, Tesla did NOT deliver on the specs or the price and the aluminum body was a drawback for reliability....Then GM knocked one out of the park! Still beyond my means sadly, but one day....
