The 2023 Ford F150 Lightning Lariat trim is such an awesome truck. You can even take a road trip with confidence. If you leave it in sport mode, the regenerative braking will help extend the range whether you are driving in town or on a highway.
I very much enjoyed seeing this, seeing as I plan on getting a Lightning myself at the end of the month. Thanks!
Great to hear, and I hope you enjoy your Lightning as much as I do.
Off topic, but I finally bought a 2023 lariat lightning extended range. Incredibly happy with it. I thought about the cybertruck but decided I’d wait another year. This is my 5th F- 150 and they’ve all been good. Thanks for the site. Really helps in getting info on the truck.
Awesome test Mike... I also get way more than the 285 mile range I am supposed to get (platinum gets a little less). The killer for range is air resistance. So the faster you drive, the less range you get. All these people(reviewers) that complain that the range is off are driving 80 mph of highways for 300 miles straight. I never go on the highway (all city driving). That is why I also get well above the range estimates. I think they base it on some city driving and some highway driving and give it a combined range.
Thank you. And thanks for watching. Yeah I thought a real life test is always best. Most people drive most of their mileage in town mixed with some highway. So I just went about my week both times I did this before and after hitting a deer and it worked out great. I love this truck.
People don't understand that you don't have to have your battery at 100% to use your vehicle, and you don't have to drain your battery 100% every day in your normal use. Most of these newer EVs today have a range between 270 to 320 miles, it's funny to hear some of these EV critics and range anxietists complain and worry so much h about this. Folks , most of you all will, never use more than 30% of that on any given day!
You make a very good point. Most of the time I only charge to 90% and it takes me a couple of days to get it below 50%, which is when I charge again.
Yes exactly. I plan on a new Flash later on. Been “researching” for a year now… wife charges to 80% on the Model Y, unless road trip time. Really enjoying the videos. New subscriber.
I've had my xlt long range since early April. I'm in so cal.. hwy and road... 2.8 on my one trip meter that was set day one
That’s awesome. Yeah I think because of the tire size the XLT ER battery gets the best range out of the entire group. How many miles are on the trip now?
I have 13k on one trip since my new tires in December. The range is not as good though because it started in winter.
@F150LightningMike i have 11000 miles now. My xlt has the larger tires and darked out wheels. I love it. My last truck was a 19 f250 poerstroke.. great truck... but for now this is much better for me. It will carry 1900 lbs with little battery loss
Great test.
Thanks. It was a little stressful at the end, but it helped me gain some confidence that I don’t have to worry about it getting low.
Great test, the secret is going the speed limit. We regularly do 5% to 10% better than the range estimate if we drive the speed limit (65-70mph). We've also decreased our range by at least 20% by going 85mph on a rainy day. I'm with you, I don't even understand why people sit in line at fuel stations just to live their normal life. Hopefully I get my Lightning back out of the body shop this week.
I hope you get yours out soon too. I feel your pain. I’m so happy to have mine back.
I agree. Every time I drive 70 or under I get the best range.
Take my lightning up north this week to New Hampshire white mountains. Got the A2Z pro to charge at a super Tesla charging station. Will let you know how is goes. Think this is a great truck. Been getting lots of updates.
Thanks Mike. I hope you have a great trip. I look forward to hearing how it goes.
According consumer reports on their initial review of the cybertruck they got 2.7 kw on highway driving and you would think the Tesla would be a quite a bit more efficient . Now as you said this wasn't freeway driving but looks to be open road driving so that 2.8 is very respectable for the lightning compared to the cyber truck
Great video Mike keep up the good work! I always enjoy watching your videos!
Thank you.
mr mike i think you must have stuck your finger in a pipe bender looks like got my truck working great 2 moduels changed god bless
Glad to hear you have your truck back.
lighting mike you remind me Mikey remeber mikey he eats anything haha love the video your a movei star food looks great
That’s funny. I forgot about that.
Video quality is excellent. What camera are you using.
Thank you. I’m using an iPhone 15 Pro. I have worked in the TV industry for a while so I have access to better cameras, but the iPhone delivers for me pretty well for an on the go set up.
I have the almost exact same mileage on my Lightning. It's in the shop now for a Pro Power fault light. They asked me when checking in if I wanted the oil changed!
My average over the last several thousand miles is about 2.0 - 2.1. I need to try turning Pro Power off.
Wow.
Yeah I was impressed with the results too. I would imagine if I was just doing highway at 70mph the whole time it would have been less, but unless you’re on a trip that’s not the best test compared to how I use it everyday.
As of the 1st of October Ford are doing a free 80 amp charger and the cost of installation or $2000 credit off there EV vehicles
Oh wow. You hit a deer while recording a range test video. Must be a first. I guess deer are not anti-EV. It ran in front of it as though it was ICE.
Way to stretch it out! ⚡️
What is the spec of your charging at home?
I’m just using the portable charger. I had a 240v plug for EVs installed in the garage and it’s been working great for me since. Charges slower than the Ford power station would, but it works fine for what I need. And saved me about $1,100 not installing the other one.
@ChristianBehnke I wasn’t sure if you saw this video yet, but it pretty much describes my set up. Charge Ford Lightning at Home.

@@F150LightningMike Missed that one! Will go back and watch. ;)
@@F150LightningMike I didn't get the ProCharge because we have a Lariat model, so it wasn't included free, and had no use for an 80A charger when the service at my home is only 100A. Instead of relying on the portable chargers, we installed a dedicated Grizzl-e smart charger configured at 30A (so we get about 6kW), works great for my Lightning and my wife's Kona EV.
Great video, people need to enjoy their EV's... not sure why there are so many haters.. I don't get it
Thanks, yeah I enjoy mine for sure. It’s really hard not to.
They watch Fox News and it's affiliates and such misinformation media, and have never actually been in an EV. Once you try an EV you never go back.
Same thing happened a little over a century ago. People were terrified of those dangerous horseless contraptions that were taking over and there was nowhere to get that dangerous, explosive kerosene leftover they called gasoline other than in hardware stores or pharmacies. Yet people today talk about range enxiety. In those days, an automobile got no more than 10 to 20 miles of range, and there was nowhere to refuel it.
Why does two pedal better than one with sport mode on.
Not fully sure why it’s better but for some reason sport mode with one pedal Drive turns off is the most efficient. I guess this would also depend on the terrain that you’re driving in and driving habits, but you should test it out and let me know. here is a video that I did testing all of the modes.

@@F150LightningMike been doing sport and power off, but with one pedal around town and to work. Been getting like 2.4 to 3.1. Will try the two pedal on my trip up north. Will let you know. Your videos are great and help out.
Thank you.
You should use forscan to get glare free headlights.
Good idea. I’ll look into it. Is it pretty easy to do? Do you have a recommendation for a good link to go to to show me how to do it? I’m seeing info on Reddit saying that it’s easy, but I’m not seeing information on how to buy forscan and how to turn on the glare free headlight option.
I thought one pedal driving added energy.
One pedal drive does help increase efficiency more so than 2 Pedal drive with normal mode. However, for some reason sport mode without one pedal drive is the most efficient for me. Here’s a video I did testing which mode was the most efficient in the winter temperatures: Ford Lightning - 1 Pedal Drive vs Sport Mode - Winter Range Test
