For those like you (and me), we'll have to wait. My RAM 3/4 ton is perfect for hauling and towing and there's no way I'll replace any time soon.

This Ford F-150 is the first of all of these to make me go, "huh. Maybe there is a little something to how things have been done." And to me, it looks like the single most compelling EV option for anyone and everyone that *doesn't* care about EVs. Which, I should add, is the only way mass adoption is ever going to become a reality as fast as we need it to be. Great coverage, Marques.

300 miles of range is actually terrible

[@stevenschmidt]

@@georgejungle138 Yeah, especially if that's without pulling a trailer. Ideally future electric trucks have like a 350 kwh battery or maybe even 400 kwh battery which would allow over 600 miles of range without a trailer and maybe 300 miles of range with a trailer.

[@wtfisdat6382]

lessee. A standard gas truck pulling a trailer gets 8-10 mpg. 24 gallons equals a range of 192-240 miles. Oh the humanity! Jesus.

I personally think they should be making EV vehicles smaller not larger if they actually expect mass adoption any time soon. This will remain a niche market until they realize they need to win over consumers by maxing out efficiency with small commuters and not fail at copying already successful big vehicles like full size pickups.

[@JTAI2]

Guy test driving this truck came to our store about 3-4ish months ago, we were impressed when he gave us a tour, main thing I liked was the full spare they come with and the amount of outlets it has, the only things I was disappointed to learn about it was the 300mi range which is good, but some of my trips consist of 400ish mi while hauling, around 600-5000lb, at least it's cheaper to charge than gasoline, otherwise a ramp would've been cool instead of the stairs, ramps helped a ton more before we got a f-350 with a lift gate

Never seen an actual F150 Lightning (Ford is very rare where I live) but I have to say the truck looks amazing and it has so many useful features. The backup battery is especially useful and should be something that all EVs offer as an option (along with solar charging). 30kWh a day is extremely generous (I've lived with around 7 to 10 kWh for quite a while and it's more than enough to use everything along with a few hour's of AC usage).

My wife has a 2016 F150 5L V8, and I have a 2022 F350 7.3L V8 (for our camper). The torque output on that F150 lightening is greater than my gas F350 with the deepest final drive rear end that you can get. With that said, the Lightening is going to present problems for anyone towing a camper or anything that acts like a large wind sail. That resistance is going to trounce the battery (no way). As an around-town work truck, this thing is a game changer. Imagine a farmer who works their land and drives into town… game changer. For long-distance towing, it’s just not gonna do it, though. Either way, I can’t help but want one.

[@shadownorthaven]
