The Worlds *Most* POWERFUL Truck: The F-150 Lightning

Ford has taken Electric Vehicles to the next level. Lets hope everyone else can keep up. The new F-150 lightning can power an average home in the USA for THREE WHOLE DAYS. The massive battery pack and electric motors are a beast off road, can tow up to 10,000lbs, while still coming home at night to keep your entire house safe from power outages. Mind blowing. Nice work Ford!

We have to give credit to Ford. All those years of building and selling trucks does give them some idea as to what the consumer wants. At the end of the day, you still have to sell a product that is also desirable and affordable. Otherwise, it doesn't do you any good if you can only offer it to just a select portion of the market.

If you had told me 5 years ago that Ford would be making such smart decisions and helping to pave the way for the future of EV, I would have laughed in your face. The smartest thing they have done was to make it just look like a traditional pickup truck. If they drop the same power plant into a Ranger Lightning, it might just outsell the Tacoma in the mid-sized category.

[@msharp6887]

U think Evs are a SMART decision? It's backwards technology

[@Shamano37]

An EV Ranger will not outsell a Tacoma, the infrastructure for EVs still needs another decade to advance. Until we start allowing more nuclear power plants renewable energy won't be enough

[@droolguy]

Why would that surprise you? Ford has quite literally been the innovator in trucks consistently for the last 2+ decades. Sure, sometimes it hasn't worked out for them but no other company has been pushing boundaries like they have. The only thing I can name that someone else did first was Dodge with coil rear suspension, other than that basically everything meaningful came from Ford first.

[@MCP647]

Like you said, I think THIS truck is a game changer for electric vehicles! It serves an already well establish market segment, and can move many people over to electric with ease. The range, carrying capacity, and towing package are excellent. (RANGE!!!!) The fact that in addition to the large center screen (on the higher trim models), they still also kept all the physical buttons everywhere else that you'd expect is top notch understanding of their buyers! NO ONE wants to have to navigate through on-screen tabs and menus to accomplish something that used to be a no-look single button push!!! (glaring at Tesla) The front trunk storage is awesome! (I wonder if someone will make front trunk tool bins that replace bed tool boxes?) The outlets all around the vehicle, including 240v in the bed are sweet, and the ability to send power back to the home during an outage via the charging cable with some extra hardware installed in the home is a major leap forward!!! Oh, and the charging rate that this truck is capable of is incredible, and nicely future proofed since it exceeds what most charging stations currently offer. Lastly, the Ford Charge Station Pro... WOW, 80 AMPs... (needing a 100 AMP circuit from the panel) that just makes me giddy. (100 AMPs is my whole service panel currently.)

[@arisvideodrop3595]

I didn't even consider the front trunk tool bins omfg.....yesssss I want one with a fold out work bench could you imagine having your tools your cutting table and power all right there in the front.

[@question_it_701]

It has excellent towing capacity, yes. But when using the excellent towing capacity, your range is gonna be dogsh*t.

[@JoshDoingLinux]

I guess I'll be waiting a year or two to see how it does as far as maintenance and reliability and how well Ford treats it's lightning owners. I like what I've seen here, now I just need the rest and I'll buy it.

[@Phillipnoogen]

Might as well put in your preorder right now because it's most likely gonna take a year or two on waiting when it arrives to you.

[@user-ph2jg8zx9m]

Electric trucks are terrible. The battery will die sooner then later if you put it in a work truck. Pulling, payload, off road. All of that will strain the battery faster. Lose your charge quicker and the battery wont hold charge because of, the excess heating from over use and charging.

[@JoshDoingLinux]

@@Phillipnoogen ehh unlike the newer manufacturers Ford already has a lot of equipment and people and such so once the initial wave is done it'll probably just be available on the lots.

It will be interesting to see what kind of range Ford will get when they design an aerodynamic truck vs F150. it's been fun seeing the different reviews. Haven't seen anyone talk about the tech of aerodynamic they have used in the F150 underneath the vehicle....why it's important not to have it in any other mode but offroad when going off road (aerodynamic plates underneath opening and closing) and vice versa (off road mode on the highway will greatly reduce range). So much engineering tech here....congrats Ford.

I am a dairy farmer and I'm waiting to see the Cybertruck. If it doesn't live up to expectations, the Ford will be my next choice. Currently I own an 07 F250 diesel, so electric is looking very attractive right now with $5.50 fuel. The F150 lightning does have the amperage to run a tig welder.

Electric trucks are terrible. The battery will die sooner then later if you put it in a work truck. Pulling, payload, off road. All of that will strain the battery faster. Lose your charge quicker and the battery wont hold charge because of, the excess heating from over use and charging. Based on 20 yrs of battery construction tools and machine usage.

Is the cybertruck ever going to materialize? And ford was on point because ford had been building trucks for around a century, and they know what people want unlike Tesla and Rivian (and don’t get me wrong I do like both companies) have more of an approach of this is what we think people want, your comment makes it seem as though ford built something completely new but in reality they just stuck electric motors into what has been their best seller for decades, this is one reason why I think the traditional car companies are going to dominate the market in the long run because they already know how to make cars where as Rivian and Tesla and the other EV exclusive companies basically had to learn to build a car first and it shows, your traditional companies are what is going to bring electric vehicles mainstream

Love everything about this, except for 2 things that have no place in an electric vehicle. 1) Why have a start/stop button when there is keyless operation and there is no danger from asphyxiation of a running engine’s exhaust? 2) Why have a bulky shifter when there is no transmission? The fact that there is another button to articulate the shifter out the way highlights the silliness of that design. Just use small buttons to select P, D, N and R as well as to offer motor braking adjustment to maximize interior space and simplify the design. Each drive you spend about 1 second selecting selecting ‘gears’.

[@StefanNoack]

You need the shifter to rest your right hand while steering with the left hand on top of the wheel.

[@jarmis777]

@@StefanNoack What’s interesting is that the original shifter (for manual transmissions) is not something you’d want to continuously apply load to in between shifts as that’s not good for the transmission. But then of course came the electro-mechanical shifters in automatics (and some EVs) where this habit doesn’t matter. It’s just too bulky to have without adding more value than a hand rest. 😆

[@DanielSmith-uy3yg]

It is cool to see this stuff coming out but there is deffinatly a lot of questions to be answered. Like what is the range when towing, or worse driving or towing in cold weather? I live in Canada and -20 c is a normal winter thing and towns 100 or more KM's apart is normal. Also where is the power to charge coming from? Solar works great in some places but not everywhere and I see substantial upgrades to our power infrastructure being required to make EV's a reality. And a 20k solar array to charge an 90k truck would buy a lot of gasoline for a regular truck. Also being capable of recycling batteries at end of life and being financially viable are two different things. I am not trying to discount the benefits or be a stick in the mud, like I said I really like the idea however I still see many questions to be really thoroughly answered still...

[@JC-vy1bo]

I share your concerns. The range that is given by Ford is under optimum conditions with the biggest battery upgrade. The cold weather will really cut into the range without question. If you are regularly towing, usually a half ton isn't what you are going to need anyway, unless the trailer is smaller. In the long run, they are going to have to really increase the capacity of the electrical grid as well as public charging stations if these are going to be practical. That is for EVs in general. The one final red flag for this vehicle is the amount of energy it requires to charge. It is really cool that you could power your house for 3 days on a charge, but that also means it will require 3 days worth of household electricity use to charge this unit up! If you are driving a lot and require daily overnight charging, that is a lot of power! If half of the people on your block started to do this, there is no way the electrical grid could accommodate it. I don't doubt that this is an amazing machine, and would love to try one, but I just still see a lot of potential problems.

[@DanielSmith-uy3yg]

@@JC-vy1bo Unfortunately these issues will start to become more prevalent as we move in this direction. Battery range, charging and cold weather performance will *probably* be resolved or at least vastly improved with new tech such as solid state batteries though in what timeframe is anyones guess. However infrastructure upgrades are a much more costly and long term. It is totally doable I just don't think on the timescale people are expecting (well not at any price they would be willing to pay anyway... almost anything is possible with enough money) And generating the electricity is another problem all on it's own especially when people want to get an electric car AND move to heat pumps in their house and electric hot water... That is a lot of demand especially in areas that already have problems with brown outs and black outs due to insufficient grid power available...

[@gregkelly2145]

Yes, Ford can ramp up production of the truck. But what remains to be seen for Ford, GM, Rivian, etc. Is whether they can ramp battery production. This would include raw material availability. As I understand it, Tesla has a lock on much of the raw materials and they are fully manufacturing their new cells in-house. There is a lot of catch up to do, I'm afraid.

[@mikefarino4368]

Ford claims to have locked up contacts for the batterys for the next few years to produce 150k a year, and in 2025 ford's new battery plants in Tennessee and Kentucky are supposed to come online and be able to produce enough for 2 million EVs by 2026. We'll see if they hit those numbers but if they do they should be in great shape

[@poplaurentiu4148]

Rivian will not suffer since all brand batteries stacks along with other electrical components are made in china thru the brand partnerships (it was explained by none other than Sandy Munro he was working in his youth at Ford as quality inspector also since he has just got a Rivian for himself since last year so he definitely knows everything about it inside-out..)

[@sho942000]

"Yes, Ford can ramp up production of the truck." No. They can't. These complainace "trucks" use 1,700 chips (while a proper ICE F-150 uses about 200). Ford is already parking these fake Lightnings at the Dearborn test track because of lack of chips.

I probably won’t buy an EV for another 5 years or so, due to living in an apartment with no chargers, but I absolutely LOVE this truck and want one so bad. The fact that this looks like a regular F150 makes it infinitely better than any other EV. Hopefully by the time I’m ready to buy one, they’ll figure out how to get more range and faster charging speeds for the battery. I actually have money for one saved up, and if I had a house that I could charge in my driveway, I’d no doubt have pre ordered one.

Because I appreciate the technical side of this channel, I would like to recommend not to use the 12V battery for jumpstart (4:12). In hybrid and electric cars, the 12V battery is usually small and the peak current not suitable for jumpstarting an ICE only handling the low voltage systems. This would damage the battery and shorten its lifespan. Also the inverter that generates the 12V from the big battery is not design for jumpstart peak current and it has a current limit fuse that can fail.
