The 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning Is An Impressive Electric Mainstream Truck

The #ElectricTruck that everyone has been waiting for is finally here, the all-new 2022 Ford #F150Lightning is the electric rebirth of the old SVT Lightning from over a decade ago. To create the #FordF150Lightning, #Ford essentially took the gas powered #FordF150 and plucked out the engine and fuel tank and replaced it with two different battery sizes and gave the #FordLightning standard dual motor AWD. Range varies from 230 to 320 miles and you'll be able to tow a maximum of 10,000 pounds.

We’ve been so excited to drive this new electric truck all year and boy did it exceed our expectations! Especially the base Pro version! We weren’t expecting a sub 4.5 second sprint to 60 in the $40,000 work truck and the near 4 second sprint in the extended range battery actually makes it quicker on the road versus the Hummer EV pickup which we clocked at 5.2 secs when you’re not using the W.T.F launch control. We should be getting one later this summer to do more extensive range testing but if you’ve got one of these or order or you’re thinking about ordering one once Ford reopens the order books, do it because this is the electric truck of the decade and once Ford ramps up production, it’s going to change people’s perception on electric vehicles even more and if you can get your hands on the base model, it’s technically cheaper than a gas powered version once incentives and credits are applied.

Ford was “able to maintain” the overall look of the F-150? I think you’re confused. This is the same truck as the regular F-150, just stuck batteries along the underside of it. It’s not like Ford actually spent the money researching and developing a bespoke EV platform for this Ford Lightning EV similarly to what GM did with their bespoke BT1 platform. It’s entertaining to watch Ford fans give them flowers for their “ability” to cheaply keep this as close to the gasoline powered F-150 as they possibly could including the fact it’s riding on the same modified ICE platform. Where would the challenge for the design team come in? Aside from “electric light bars” and a closed grille, there are no cosmetic differences compared a much cheaper ICE F-150. 😂

@@snakeeyes9246 That doesn't mean much if the price of entry is so ridiculously high you can't afford to buy it. Even with high gas prices, an ice motorist can take steps to lesson the burden. Drive Less, don't drive aggressivly, use lower speed access roads over highways when you can. You can't do much about a high monthly car payment aside from refinance for lower payments - which is more expensive in the long run. And, as mentioned - electric rates are going to rise as EVs become more popular. It's a simple issue of supply and demand. Not to mention that taxes for road and highway upkeep is built into gas prices. If fewer are buying gas, that means less tax revenue coming in. That needs to be compensated for. TLDR? Enjoy cheaper operating cost while you can. It's not going to last.

Ford seems to have been obsessed with "lightning" for a while. Of course there were the pre Raptor Lightning performance trucks. But long before that, the first vehicle I ever owned as a kid in the 60s was a '57 F100. On the horn button, Ford had a lightning bolt. Not sure why. As I recall, that lightning bolt also appeared in some truck exterior emblems as well. Resurrecting the "Lightning" name for the electric F150 I thought was brilliant. Great truck. Great review.... as always.

[@jakes5530]

320 miles is more than adequate. As long as your towing needs are 130 miles round trip or less (i.e. to your favorite local lake for your boat or your favorite local trails for your atv/sxs’s) this is a no-brainer. Would be more hesitant if I were towing a camper, but that’s not my expertise…

A frame-based platform is probably more conducive for electric conversion than a unibody one because you can relatively easily plop the battery inside the frame without having to massively redesign the entire vehicle. So Ford gets the best of both worlds… a surprisingly good, yet not-bespoke platform, while at the same time gaining economies of scale from common chassis components shared with the ICE platform.

Honestly the extended range is worth it IMO. People buy full sized trucks to tow and use as their family haulers for road trips. If you’re not doing that, might as well get a Maverick Hybrid for half the price.

[@trustmeImadoc91]

Honestly road tripping is probably possible, coming from someone who has road tripped in a Kia Niro EV with a similar range. Right off the bat if you drive in econ mode instead of normal or sport your range goes up from 239 to more around 280 in the Niro. What it ends up being is basically "drive 3 hours, look for a walmart, plug up car, walk around the store and buy some food while the car charges. Walk out to the car and eat, watch a youtube video, bam charging done." The poor kw:mile ratio in the ford will make the charging take a bit longer than it would in my mom's Niro, but it still probably wouldn't be that bad.

[@jgalt99]

This is perfect for in-town commercial towing use, contractors, etc. I need to drive maybe 60-80 miles max per day, towing a 6,000lb trailer. I spend about 1.8k/month on fuel with 87 at $4.50, (about 66% vehicle, 33% equipment). My cost per kwh is about $0.13, so I could fully charge the standard range battery for about $10. Save me at least 1.2k/month, easy. No, you're not going to tow your boat/camper 500 miles to the campsite or lake, (without jumping through some hoops) but who cares - I can rent an ICE the one time a year I need to do that and almost finance a rental property with what I'm saving not buying gas and maintaining a gas truck.

@@normt430 Yeah from what I've seen I like the Silverado better. That $7500 credit is going to be long gone by the time anybody who orders today has their truck delivered.

[@plmn93]

@@hellkitty1014 Not really a beta tester...they invested in a whole new factory for this thing. They are all in at this point. This was their way to get to get a mass-market EV truck into production first. Rivian and Hummer are niche low volume vehicles.

@@hellkitty1014 Norm's confused, he's talking about the mid size chassis for the Ranger and Bronco which is being electrified. This F150-L will be around for quite a while with regular upgrades as technology allows.

I think the lariat model looks amazing. I just wish I could afford one 😆 here’s to winning the lottery this week and heading to the ford dealership 😆

Is this truck oxford white or their tri coat premium white? It's a beauty.

Do we know if the power system is available in Canada?

I have a truck with a transmission heat gauge. I find that important for when I drive around with a snow plot. What I would like to see for such a truck is 1. drive train heat temperature gauges. 2. The 2nd gen to have something like a bike roof rack, but instead it would be a removable accessory bar that you can plug in plow lights into power sockets built into the accessory bar, and have a integrated control system for the dash so that you don't have to do custom wiring to flip on & off flashing amber lights. Not only that but physical buttons on the dash, and the ability to program what applications those physical buttons are use for with the touch screen. You could program an Aux switch to turn on a salt spreader during the winter time, and program it to cut off power to a truck bed camper during camping season so that the truck doesn't drain away accidentally as you're driving hundreds of miles. Maybe you could customize the truck to give you a warning message on the dash over an accessory every time you turn the truck on & off.

The lightning does have battery and motor temp gauges.

[@jmd1743]

@@rickhamilton620 Wow! Cool! Thank you for the heads up!

[@glockman9c]

For $50k-$90k they should have put in charge port on each side. I wish the screen was flush in the dash. Looks better on lower model to me.

[@getoffamylan6844]

I have often wondered how much it would cost to add an additional charge port.

[@glockman9c]

@@getoffamylan6844 - can't be more than a few hundred. port, cables, diodes, current sensor, switch, etc just so you can't charge both ports at the same time. If ford can find $53k in upgrades from Pro to Platinum, they could certainly figure out dual charging ports...

The White color is where it’s at!

[@CumBrianFries]

What kind of shades are you wearing Sofyan? They look nice!

[@therustyfisherman7922]

I wonder in the near future a performance variant off road version of the Lightning will be released like a Raptor. Maybe call the trim package Rolling Thunder or bringing back the Thunderbird name plate would be good.

[@emanuelquintero2092]

I'd like to know what the real range is towing heavy trailers and doing real work. Still not sold on this just yet.

[@GTStrane]

This truck looks super promising. I like pretty much everything about it except for the screen situation. I think vertical was a mistake and the volume know is dumb

[@normt430]

This is a modified F-150 platform where GM Silverado EV BT1 is a EV from ground up next year. Wait for Ford 2025 redesign. The Ford F-150 Lightning is already being promised a redesign for the 2025 model year. Reuters mentioned this when discussing Ford’s production plans for the Lightning.

The vent in front is also for battery and motor cooling from an antifreeze radiator under there.
