![]() Not only were we pleased with the Lightning's, ahem, lightning-quick acceleration but we were also pleasantly surprised that it managed to maintain the normal F-150's refined road manners. The Lightning Platinum we tested reached 60 mph in a scant 4.0 seconds and covered a quarter-mile in 12.7 seconds at 107 mph. ![]() Performance is impressive for a truck this heavy. With the Standard-Range battery, the motors combine to make 452 horsepower but with the Extended-Range battery the horsepower rating rises to 580 peak torque is an impressive 775 pound-feet with either setup. EV Motor, Power, and PerformanceĪll F-150 Lightning models come standard with two electric motors and all-wheel drive. Luckily, that package includes a very long list of desirable equipment to justify its price, including adaptive cruise control, Ford's Pro Power Onboard generator feature, heated front seats and steering wheel, a power-operated tailgate, in-dash navigation, and a lot more. Unfortunately, to add that bigger battery to the XLT model, you must also add the expensive 312A High package. ![]() The Extended-Range battery pack adds a $10,000 lump sum to the bottom line, but if you're planning to drive long distances or use the Lightning to tow, it could be a good investment. It is an EV workhorse that can be equipped in a variety of ways, all of which require few compromises compared to the standard gas-powered F-150.ĭespite the leap in price over last year's model, we'd still go with the more desirable and better-equipped XLT trim. ![]() But if you're a truck owner who tows infrequently or only for short distances, the F-150 Lightning will serve your needs well. That drawback is common among EV pickup trucks, and rivals such as the GMC Hummer EV SUT and the Rivian R1T don't fare any better. The EPA-estimated driving range varies between 230 miles with the base battery to 320 miles with the larger one, but towing a trailer quickly depletes the battery and requires frequent stops to charge. With the larger Extended-Range battery, the powertrain makes a whopping 580 horsepower, and with it the Lightning blasted to 60 mph in just 4.0 seconds at our test track. All models come with two electric motors juiced by either of two battery packs. Inside and out, the Lightning looks like other F-150s-though it's totally different underneath, of course. Otherwise, the Lightning delivers just about everything the regular F-150 does in a package that is close to a mirror image. But floor the accelerator and you'll know that the Lightning is not your standard gasoline-powered F-150 the electric motors' instant, massive torque slams you into the seat as if you got run into from behind by a Peterbilt. With the tunes pounding you wouldn't notice the absence of the gasoline engine's sound.
