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.
And mother earth is still crying because just like petroleum the resources used in making the batteries comes from making a giant hole in the earth 🌎 😔
The rivian has gone 3s flat and so has the hummev on a dry surface in wtf mode. Now considering one of those ev behemoths is twice a 911 in weight and the other is equal to almost 3) 911s plus has off road mt 35s on it? Yeah evs are damn impressive. Take the plaid 4dr 4800# family sedan that's pulling over 1.3gs on a prepped surface on st tires, running 0-60mph in 1.9s. And cutting 1.5s 60ft time's at the track all stock with zero prep. What will the near future hold for evs if they already are this fast. 😁
@@kencai6803 I really never understood why people would care that much about 0-60 I know that it’s impressive to go 0-60 as fast as some supercars while driving an electric pickup truck or SUV, but after a while, there is no fun In it,
The importance of this vehicle can't be overstated. I hope Ford is able to meet demand for them, it's sad that it doesn't look like they can. They need to make a million of these things a year.
@@blakee9690 So much for the "consumers don't want electric cars" BS we were hearing from auto makers during the years they were developing the cars they "introduced" this year. 😁
Yes. Helps keep the price pretty much in line with other trucks. Wise move. In the not so distant future all the manufacturers will go the practical route. I can't see my landscaping crew in a Cybertruck. 😂
I'm glad to see the Ford was able to maintain the overall look of the ICE F-150 for the Lightening. The ability to power your home during a power failure is certainly a strong selling point. With the Lightening, they have an F-150 for every need. Now, I'm interested to see the Expedition and Navigator EV.
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. 😂
That thing is incredible...the acceleration is just insane...but what's more impressive is all the other tech and engineering they put into this thing. It's the most important vehicle in Ford's portfolio right now.
I was never a big American truck guy, currently drive an X3. That being said this will be my next vehicle, the fact that you can get a full size truck like this with Zero emissions is nothing short of mind boggling
Great video! I run an oyster farm in Massachusetts and was lucky enough to get an early reservation! Excited to get one this summer and see how it tows and performs!
It's outstanding that we can choose between an efficient new ICE F150 & the EV F150 Lightning version . I won't sell my beloved '22 F150 Tremor crew cab anytime soon but have ordered a '23 F150 Lightning Pro 4wd. Can't wait to get it. Good times! 👍🏻
Finally, Somebody talked about the actual room in the back. NOW I can finally commit to ordering. Tall person w/tall children and a carseat. That is the info I actually needed
Trading in my ‘18 XLT FX4 for the Pro model. Definitely a step up, even with the Pro model, it’s way more equipped than mine now. And for $39k starting!? Looking at like $43k with destination. My XLT is optioned to $52k and still doesn’t have half the stuff the Pro has. Big win for Ford in my book! Take my money!!
Thank you! My base xl 2019 work truck stickered at 34k back in 2019 and adjusted for inflation a similar truck is damn near the lightnings cost. But the lightning at 39k is a smoking awd crew cab full size 450hp deal of a truck. Cool that Palmer claims they now will make 20% of them in pro trim to. Makes me feel I may find a dealer with no markup later this year to swap out for my truck. 👍🏻
This was a great video, mate. Actually, people are still talking about your video on the Mach-E forums as this video has started a conversation about the "Five Second Rule." Check out the Out of Spec videos done on this vehicle in regards to the towing. Ford and Rivian have both done a fantastic job with the towing.
With the current gas prices, these truck will sell like nuts. Its features and performance is just killer. Everyone who's tested it, raves about its performance. And with the low center of gravity they say it doesnt feel nor drive like a truck but more like a sports car. Its just better than the Gas version in every way.
Wow. Gotta give them credit. Nicely done. And the base model is awfully compelling and a great value, as long as you're aren't towing much or going on road trips
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.
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.
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.
I am more and more impressed with the lightning! I am excited to see these affordable EVs. I enjoy the traditional style and utility I do not need or want a truck with a yoke or futuristic crazy style.
The range for this is supposed to be understated so you actually should get the advertised range unlike typically at 70mph. We will see! I’m stoked to see something this awesome!
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.
Thanks for another top notch review. Working my way towards one of these electric beauties. Tomorrow, I take possesion of my new '22 Iconic silver, Lariat Powerboost. I have my name on the reservation list for a personal and business Lightning. Keep up the good work Ford.
Won’t be normal anytime soon, realistically only the one with 300 miles of range is what people will buy. The prices are still almost 20k more than ice.
@@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.
@@thomas735 That's the main thing. EVs will never be a cost saving thing because someone else will just raise the cost. The government is already testing a "mileage" tax instead of gas tax because these EVs will be causing wear on roads and the gov will not have money to fix them. The middle class will always lose
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.
As a former fleet manager with mostly F150 pickup trucks, I would probably want to detune these rocketships for safety reasons. As a former race car driver, I want one!
Wow! This all I been waiting for this one. Also I be praying that I will able to afford one of these All-electric pickup trucks like this someday especially the color on this All-electric pickup truck as well. Overall, excellent job and review sofyan.
Not until 2025 redesign. Then Silvy EV will be out for a year. 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.
I’m picking my lightning up tomorrow- platinum - can’t wait. Sat in it a little bit today in the showroom…I cannot wait….have I mentioned that? Lol I am a 💯 ford guy… this will be added to my 2022 f250 lariat diesel, 2021 f150 3.5 EB lariat and 2022 Toyota 4Runner Limited. Yeah, the last ones a Toyota, but I had to get one before they ruin/change it in a year or so. My first electric vehicle and it’s a ford truck …I can’t wait!! Haha
Love this truck. One of my top picks to have. Next level features & can’t wait to see it in action plus seeing what the longevity outcome will be. Go Ford!!!
I like to get that F150 Lightning but I prefer Chevrolet Silverado EV, because I can wait for 2 years to get paid off saving money *maybe hopefully*. I not saying I hating Ford, I like all of them any cars, suv and trucks.
My dad is thinking about canceling his reserved Lightning because the dealership is marking it up 9 grand for “current market adjustment.” They said it’s the cheapest mark up in the area, if he were to go somewhere else the other dealerships were pricing 10 to 12 grand above sticker price. He’s expected to receive his truck in 3 to 4 weeks, the dealership told him if he doesn’t confirm his pick up in a week they are handing that truck to the next person on the list and don’t expect those truck to be on there lot for even a day.
@@Cargocruiser615 That's a shame. I t would be nice if Ford could help with this situation. Stop sending units to dealerships that do this. It would also be great if more people canceled and refused to pay markup. Just think of the 'buyers remorse' 5 months after purchase when the new car feeling wears off.
Not a truck fan but I can certainly appreciate it’s performance and practicality. Hopefully, Ford will offer a single cab or ext-cab version for all the utility, city, and commercial drivers.
Thanks for the review. All of you journalist are doing an outstanding job of critiquing this truck. What would be also informational, is the availability of the different trim levels. Is the Pro version only available for fleet sales? I am on the reservation list and called my particular designated Ford dealer and they are clueless. No idea about anything. Great job Ford.
So excited for this truck, but mainly because I know the Super Duty is next. As soon as I can replace my 2018 F-350 with an electric version that has similar range, I'm all-in.
@Promotional Inc. cyber truck is ugly af and falls short of towing capacity or payload of a 1 ton truck. Also can’t meet torque of today’s Diesel engines.
BluesClues is available on this model(Lariat) you don’t have to go up a trim. The Twin Panel Moonroof is not optional, it’s standard on the Extended Range Lariat.
If I were shopping for an F150 this electric version would be the one to get. Its a no brainer honestly: Its super fast, much more than the gas version and more refined in every way than the gas version. No way in hell I would get an “eco busted” model with how much maintenance and issues those engines have not to mention how much $$$ you spend filling these up at almost $5 a gallon.
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…

Rear turn signal indicators are so much more beautiful and bold in design than the minuscule boring design at the front. DRL pieces that surround the headlights should have been the front turn signal indicators instead.
Love this truck. Hope I can get a gen 2 in a few years. The entry pricing, packages ect are great for 40k. My ICE F150 of this price range doesn't have anywhere close to these features. I just wish it had a bit more base model range than 220 miles. Because realistically you only have 180-190 miles to keep that 30 as a safety range. No one drives their ICE to empty. A basic day of driving to work, off to the lake after work, getting groceries and getting home will chew up half of that range or more if you are towing a small boat. The price increase for 80 more miles of range is just insane right now.

Welllll….230 from full, but manufacturers don’t recomend charging EVs past 80% unless you need the range….So 180/190 is where you’re going to sit for the most part. That being said, as an EV owner (with a range of 240mi) I can say that it’s enough for most people.
@@blakee9690 for a car or SUV it's fine. For a truck you want to use as a truck, and for those that go fishing, hunting or exploring that drive 2-3 hours in a day trip its a very low range.
@@MannsWoodlandPerspective but that’s not the target market for the standard range model. The target market for the standard range model is the 95% of drivers who do 60 miles or less a day.
Not a Ford fan, but I congratulate them on this home-run. Until we see the Silverado EV and RAM EVolution, this seems to be the most useful and rounded EV pickup. Some of the interior materials are questionable at this price, but overall I think they nailed it. **Imagine a Mustang GT's owner in absolute disbelief being blown away by a "lowly" F150."🤣 6900lbs isn't terrible for such a large EV either. And, this truck qualifies for the $7500 tax credit, so that softens the blow.

@@normt430 yep. The Gen II is already being tested. It will add features like a heat pump and certainly longer range. This truck was likely just a beta tester for Ford to see market reaction and real world usage.

@@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.
Hello Sofyan, may I know which of the competitors offers cold/ Ventilated seats at the rear? On the other hand concerning the speaker option, I will prefer the more/19 speakers to an exhaust sound 😀. Thanks for the nice and unbiased review though 👍🏽
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.
I have the standard range on order. Seeing that it can do 0-60 in 4.4 has me in near tears. I live in the city and didn’t need ER but I was a little bummed thinking I’d be sacrificing a ton of performance.
Great review as always. Pretty cool what if can do to power your house. Down in texas I am using a generator with a backfeed into the house since I cant trust the grid. I imagine if you ahem the connections set up to run power in there are probably cheaper ways to feed power into the house. I look forward to this vehicle in the coming years and how it does.
This is a marvelous truck. Even though it has capabilities to off road and tow, that was never to be it's primary function. Ground clearance to low for good off road. If you want it for long distance towing, you'll be disappointed. However everything else is fantastic. People have been saying it won't deliver the mileage stated. I believe it will but everyone that's been driving it have been trying to see what 0-60 mph in 4.4 seconds feels like. And then instead of just normal driving they are constantly punching it. With all that they say they only got 280 miles with the platinum which is rated at 300 mile with a full charge. You only need to get about 2.3 mile per kWh to achieve that mileage. That's not hard to do as I watch a sensible video where a man drove it around town at 35 mph with stop & starting at the stop signs & lights using the one pedal driving which regenerates the battery the best. He averaged 3.2 miles per kWh which equates to approximately 420 miles per charge if that was all the driving you did. My 2014 F150 got a walloping 10 mpg and when pulling my trailers closer to 6 mpg. Electric vehicles are no difference, expect your mileage range to be cut in half when towing a trailer. Obviously mileage is effected by your driving habits. I always get 50+ mpg with my 2018 hybrid Prius which most people's driving habits wouldn't come close to getting that kind of mileage. I don't wait till the last minute when I'm coming to a stop and no jack rabbit starts when I take off. With my driving habits I expect to get 400+ miles from a full charge because I won't be doing 0-60 in 4.4 seconds. I'll be one pedal driving so regenerative braking immediately when I release the accelerator pedal. No jack rabbit starts. Buts that not the main reason I'm purchasing a platinum. My home runs mainly on solar with nearly 13 kW per hour. So even on a totally cloudy day my batteries get a full charge ever day. Consequently, I not only won't be purchasing any gasoline for my vehicle but I won't be purchasing any electricity to charge it. And since my platinum has 131 kWh of battery I will be able to power everything in my home from my truck if my solar & backup generator both failed. This truck certainly isn't for everyone. And the upper trim levels like the platinum is for even less people. But the lower end Pro is a perfect work truck for anyone working locally. The 10k lbs towing capacity is greater than any other standard F150 pickup. At 230 mile range with standard battery this is an all day workhorse with its own onboard 110 volt inverter. Who drives 230 miles a day in their local area. I'd say no one. So you get home and depending on your kWh charge which is normally 9-13 cents per kilowatt hour. So if you drive sensible and achieve at least 2 miles per kWh then you can divide miles driven by 2 and multiple that figure by your kilowatt charge. Example: Drive 200 miles divided by 2 then multiplied by .13 per/kWh 200 miles would cost you $13 or as little as $9. If I drove 200 miles at 10 mpg it would cost me $100 with fuel costs today.
@@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...

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.
As of May 2022 you can't factory order one due to extremely high demand. My local dealerships are marking up their limited inventory (8 total Lighting trucks) by 10-15%. No base models available
Great review but a few notes/comments. Some trims are pricey but keep in mind for the first few years the full rebates ($7500+) will be available making the high prices a little easier to swallow- also the moon roof is a standard option on the Lariat trim.
Here's an idea for RV manufacturers - make a hookup that also feeds it AC power (not just DC like the current ones), and also make it run the other way - charging the truck FROM the RV. This will be a game changer (especially if you have plenty of solar panes on the RV). With this, the possibilities infinite - like for example - extending the range of the truck when towing.
I dont really know much about what you just said, but I do know that airstream is coming out with a trailer called the “estream” designed to be towed by EV’s which basically doesnt cause the tow vehicle to lose any range. Idk how it works tbh, but it’s a very cool idea
I say add a Battery extender that you can put in the bed that adds an extra 150mi of range. For longer trips. I could drive to Pheonix and back in my Hybrid with a 12 gallon tank in the Lightning I would spend an additional 2 hours in charging

Finally, Somebody talked about the actual room in the back. NOW I can finally commit to ordering. Tall person w/tall children and a carseat. That is the info I actually needed
The interior is huge, and comfortable.
@@heathwirt8919 I really hope so. Im 6'7/2m and fitting in cars is always a crapshoot.
Trading in my ‘18 XLT FX4 for the Pro model. Definitely a step up, even with the Pro model, it’s way more equipped than mine now. And for $39k starting!? Looking at like $43k with destination. My XLT is optioned to $52k and still doesn’t have half the stuff the Pro has. Big win for Ford in my book! Take my money!!
Thank you! My base xl 2019 work truck stickered at 34k back in 2019 and adjusted for inflation a similar truck is damn near the lightnings cost.
But the lightning at 39k is a smoking awd crew cab full size 450hp deal of a truck. Cool that Palmer claims they now will make 20% of them in pro trim to. Makes me feel I may find a dealer with no markup later this year to swap out for my truck. 👍🏻
yeah ,,,big win assuming you can actually get one from dealer without insane markups...
@@Alpha_2288 ^^ this. Scalpel dealerships will have a field day with this
First in my feed of reviewers with this truck. Congrats Redline well done!!
Another great review. Your knowledge of specific specs, including the explanation of the home charging system is second to none.
I wasn't expecting anything less from Ford. This is what truck leadership looks like, smiles for miles built Ford Tough!
Where are they leading with this truck? This is a nice truck but it isn’t leading the segment in specs nor design.
@@mybro727 yours is a matter of opinion!
@@karlhenry2328 You’ve failed to explain how Ford is “leading” with this truck.
@@mybro727 this is the first mass produced full size electric truck at this price point!
I have seen the future and I am loving every minute of it!. Modern things for modern living. Well done Ford..
For the extended battery it’s 10k on the lariat but the XLT is $20k which is messed up
Pricing overall is insane these days
This was a great video, mate. Actually, people are still talking about your video on the Mach-E forums as this video has started a conversation about the "Five Second Rule." Check out the Out of Spec videos done on this vehicle in regards to the towing. Ford and Rivian have both done a fantastic job with the towing.
With the current gas prices, these truck will sell like nuts. Its features and performance is just killer. Everyone who's tested it, raves about its performance. And with the low center of gravity they say it doesnt feel nor drive like a truck but more like a sports car. Its just better than the Gas version in every way.
Wow. Gotta give them credit. Nicely done. And the base model is awfully compelling and a great value, as long as you're aren't towing much or going on road trips
I was thinking it would be a comfortable highway cruiser to work. 30 miles each way in an electric tank.
Great truck as long as it isn't used for what a truck is used for 🤪
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.
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.
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.
I am more and more impressed with the lightning! I am excited to see these affordable EVs. I enjoy the traditional style and utility I do not need or want a truck with a yoke or futuristic crazy style.
Thanks for the review! I’m excited to start seeing these on the road, I bet I’ll start seeing a lot quite quickly.
The range for this is supposed to be understated so you actually should get the advertised range unlike typically at 70mph. We will see! I’m stoked to see something this awesome!
I'm so thankful Ford didn't go crazy with the style like Rivian and Tesla's cyber truck. I love they kept the traditional F150 look.
"Enough with the flooring it" That was the best part, and yes that beast is quick!
Woohoo, filmed in San Antonio, Tx!!! I love your reviews! Keep up the good work.🤘🏼👍🏼👏🏼✌🏼
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.
Really comprehensive review. Best I’ve seen of the lighting so far. Nice job!
All his reviews are like this. He is one of the best.
The white actually looks really good.
Thanks for another top notch review. Working my way towards one of these electric beauties. Tomorrow, I take possesion of my new '22 Iconic silver, Lariat Powerboost. I have my name on the reservation list for a personal and business Lightning. Keep up the good work Ford.
IMO this Ford is going to be more popular than the Cybertruck, but damn, roads are going to be scary with 500hp+ becoming normal
Won’t be normal anytime soon, realistically only the one with 300 miles of range is what people will buy. The prices are still almost 20k more than ice.
@@thomas735 lower running costs and fewer/lower taxes will eventually make the EV more affordable long-term.
@@snakeeyes9246 idk I think power companies will jack up their rates.
@@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.
@@thomas735 That's the main thing. EVs will never be a cost saving thing because someone else will just raise the cost. The government is already testing a "mileage" tax instead of gas tax because these EVs will be causing wear on roads and the gov will not have money to fix them.
The middle class will always lose
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.
I absolutely can not wait. Got ten coming for the biz (Pros w/towing) I so wish id ordered a lariat for myself.
As a former fleet manager with mostly F150 pickup trucks, I would probably want to detune these rocketships for safety reasons. As a former race car driver, I want one!
Ford should incorporate a valet mode that a supervisor could lock that reduces the power to about 1/2 which would still be more than enough.
Thank you for explaining the power output from the truck to house.
Excellent video, very informative.
Wow! This all I been waiting for this one. Also I be praying that I will able to afford one of these All-electric pickup trucks like this someday especially the color on this All-electric pickup truck as well. Overall, excellent job and review sofyan.
Great review. Like always!
This is an absolute game changer.
Not until 2025 redesign. Then Silvy EV will be out for a year.
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.
I’m picking my lightning up tomorrow- platinum - can’t wait. Sat in it a little bit today in the showroom…I cannot wait….have I mentioned that? Lol I am a 💯 ford guy… this will be added to my 2022 f250 lariat diesel, 2021 f150 3.5 EB lariat and 2022 Toyota 4Runner Limited. Yeah, the last ones a Toyota, but I had to get one before they ruin/change it in a year or so. My first electric vehicle and it’s a ford truck …I can’t wait!! Haha
Love this truck. One of my top picks to have. Next level features & can’t wait to see it in action plus seeing what the longevity outcome will be. Go Ford!!!
I like to get that F150 Lightning but I prefer Chevrolet Silverado EV, because I can wait for 2 years to get paid off saving money *maybe hopefully*. I not saying I hating Ford, I like all of them any cars, suv and trucks.
The Ford F150 Lightning is a great first attempt at a mainstream EV Truck. Price and availability is my only concern.
My dad is thinking about canceling his reserved Lightning because the dealership is marking it up 9 grand for “current market adjustment.” They said it’s the cheapest mark up in the area, if he were to go somewhere else the other dealerships were pricing 10 to 12 grand above sticker price. He’s expected to receive his truck in 3 to 4 weeks, the dealership told him if he doesn’t confirm his pick up in a week they are handing that truck to the next person on the list and don’t expect those truck to be on there lot for even a day.
@@Cargocruiser615 That's a shame. I t would be nice if Ford could help with this situation. Stop sending units to dealerships that do this. It would also be great if more people canceled and refused to pay markup. Just think of the 'buyers remorse' 5 months after purchase when the new car feeling wears off.
Not a truck fan but I can certainly appreciate it’s performance and practicality. Hopefully, Ford will offer a single cab or ext-cab version for all the utility, city, and commercial drivers.
Been waiting all week for this lol
Nice one mate!
Great review and impressive truck. Now we need an Expedition
Lightening!
Thanks for the review. All of you journalist are doing an outstanding job of critiquing this truck. What would be also informational, is the availability of the different trim levels. Is the Pro version only available for fleet sales? I am on the reservation list and called my particular designated Ford dealer and they are clueless. No idea about anything. Great job Ford.
I think it suits everyone ! They added almost every missing thing in a regular truck, it’s a really great job.
Another AWESOME review from our favorite guy 😍
So excited for this truck, but mainly because I know the Super Duty is next. As soon as I can replace my 2018 F-350 with an electric version that has similar range, I'm all-in.
@Promotional Inc. cyber truck is ugly af and falls short of towing capacity or payload of a 1 ton truck. Also can’t meet torque of today’s Diesel engines.
BluesClues is available on this model(Lariat) you don’t have to go up a trim. The Twin Panel Moonroof is not optional, it’s standard on the Extended Range Lariat.
Yeap! Except it's blue CRUISE. Blue clues is a childs cartoon😂😂
@@ownedtoomanycars No, it’s Blues Clues and will always be Blues Clues
@@lrod8692 🤣
omg blues clues??
If I were shopping for an F150 this electric version would be the one to get. Its a no brainer honestly: Its super fast, much more than the gas version and more refined in every way than the gas version. No way in hell I would get an “eco busted” model with how much maintenance and issues those engines have not to mention how much $$$ you spend filling these up at almost $5 a gallon.
Just curious how much this thing is actually out the door. You are looking at like 80k lariat hybrids atm where I live. This be around 100k?
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…
Love these consistent truck reviews. You guys might as well get a ram and a Titan just to round things out 😆
@7:01, that 240 volt is a lifesaver for repairmen who have 240Volt tools such as a welder. Ford hits a bullseye. Or the sweet spot.
once companies harness the power of that diamond battery, i think life will be good. :D

Party of Ford F 150 Lighting
Rear turn signal indicators are so much more beautiful and bold in design than the minuscule boring design at the front. DRL pieces that surround the headlights should have been the front turn signal indicators instead.
Love this truck. Hope I can get a gen 2 in a few years.
The entry pricing, packages ect are great for 40k. My ICE F150 of this price range doesn't have anywhere close to these features.
I just wish it had a bit more base model range than 220 miles. Because realistically you only have 180-190 miles to keep that 30 as a safety range. No one drives their ICE to empty.
A basic day of driving to work, off to the lake after work, getting groceries and getting home will chew up half of that range or more if you are towing a small boat.
The price increase for 80 more miles of range is just insane right now.

@@normt430 yeah probably about when it would probably be interested in buying 2025-27 somewhere in there.
Welllll….230 from full, but manufacturers don’t recomend charging EVs past 80% unless you need the range….So 180/190 is where you’re going to sit for the most part.
That being said, as an EV owner (with a range of 240mi) I can say that it’s enough for most people.
@@blakee9690 for a car or SUV it's fine.
For a truck you want to use as a truck, and for those that go fishing, hunting or exploring that drive 2-3 hours in a day trip its a very low range.
@@MannsWoodlandPerspective but that’s not the target market for the standard range model. The target market for the standard range model is the 95% of drivers who do 60 miles or less a day.
I love the all electric ford F 150 it’s very nice! I love all electric cars
Not a Ford fan, but I congratulate them on this home-run. Until we see the Silverado EV and RAM EVolution, this seems to be the most useful and rounded EV pickup. Some of the interior materials are questionable at this price, but overall I think they nailed it. **Imagine a Mustang GT's owner in absolute disbelief being blown away by a "lowly" F150."🤣
6900lbs isn't terrible for such a large EV either. And, this truck qualifies for the $7500 tax credit, so that softens the blow.

@@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.

Hello Sofyan, may I know which of the competitors offers cold/ Ventilated seats at the rear?
On the other hand concerning the speaker option, I will prefer the more/19 speakers to an exhaust sound 😀.
Thanks for the nice and unbiased review though 👍🏽

Great review guys on a game changer truck. How about mic'ing Rob up, sorta hard hearing his comments.
@33.43 That's all I needed to know! No 5 second boost limit! Time to cancel mach e gt order and wait for lightning 2023 order book to open.
You mention it's missing the propulsion sound, but I think it's available on the Platinum trim.
The vent in front is also for battery and motor cooling from an antifreeze radiator under there.
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.
@@rickhamilton620 Wow! Cool! Thank you for the heads up!
Great video! Very informative!
I have the standard range on order. Seeing that it can do 0-60 in 4.4 has me in near tears. I live in the city and didn’t need ER but I was a little bummed thinking I’d be sacrificing a ton of performance.
When are you supposed to receive your EV Ford?
@@freshmantle1876 just got my production date. 7/25
This thing is faster 0-60 than my friend's Raptor. For this, and a host of other reasons, well done Ford.
Great review as always. Pretty cool what if can do to power your house. Down in texas I am using a generator with a backfeed into the house since I cant trust the grid. I imagine if you ahem the connections set up to run power in there are probably cheaper ways to feed power into the house. I look forward to this vehicle in the coming years and how it does.
Wow that is freaking amazing 👏
This is a marvelous truck. Even though it has capabilities to off road and tow, that was never to be it's primary function. Ground clearance to low for good off road. If you want it for long distance towing, you'll be disappointed. However everything else is fantastic. People have been saying it won't deliver the mileage stated. I believe it will but everyone that's been driving it have been trying to see what 0-60 mph in 4.4 seconds feels like. And then instead of just normal driving they are constantly punching it. With all that they say they only got 280 miles with the platinum which is rated at 300 mile with a full charge. You only need to get about 2.3 mile per kWh to achieve that mileage. That's not hard to do as I watch a sensible video where a man drove it around town at 35 mph with stop & starting at the stop signs & lights using the one pedal driving which regenerates the battery the best. He averaged 3.2 miles per kWh which equates to approximately 420 miles per charge if that was all the driving you did. My 2014 F150 got a walloping 10 mpg and when pulling my trailers closer to 6 mpg.
Electric vehicles are no difference, expect your mileage range to be cut in half when towing a trailer. Obviously mileage is effected by your driving habits. I always get 50+ mpg with my 2018 hybrid Prius which most people's driving habits wouldn't come close to getting that kind of mileage. I don't wait till the last minute when I'm coming to a stop and no jack rabbit starts when I take off. With my driving habits I expect to get 400+ miles from a full charge because I won't be doing 0-60 in 4.4 seconds. I'll be one pedal driving so regenerative braking immediately when I release the accelerator pedal. No jack rabbit starts. Buts that not the main reason I'm purchasing a platinum. My home runs mainly on solar with nearly 13 kW per hour. So even on a totally cloudy day my batteries get a full charge ever day. Consequently, I not only won't be purchasing any gasoline for my vehicle but I won't be purchasing any electricity to charge it. And since my platinum has 131 kWh of battery I will be able to power everything in my home from my truck if my solar & backup generator both failed. This truck certainly isn't for everyone. And the upper trim levels like the platinum is for even less people. But the lower end Pro is a perfect work truck for anyone working locally. The 10k lbs towing capacity is greater than any other standard F150 pickup. At 230 mile range with standard battery this is an all day workhorse with its own onboard 110 volt inverter. Who drives 230 miles a day in their local area. I'd say no one. So you get home and depending on your kWh charge which is normally 9-13 cents per kilowatt hour. So if you drive sensible and achieve at least 2 miles per kWh then you can divide miles driven by 2 and multiple that figure by your kilowatt charge. Example: Drive 200 miles divided by 2 then multiplied by .13 per/kWh 200 miles would cost you $13 or as little as $9. If I drove 200 miles at 10 mpg it would cost me $100 with fuel costs today.
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.
I have often wondered how much it would cost to add an additional charge port.
@@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...
This Truck is bad ass!! The Future is here .....

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.
As of May 2022 you can't factory order one due to extremely high demand. My local dealerships are marking up their limited inventory (8 total Lighting trucks) by 10-15%. No base models available
Great review but a few notes/comments. Some trims are pricey but keep in mind for the first few years the full rebates ($7500+) will be available making the high prices a little easier to swallow- also the moon roof is a standard option on the Lariat trim.
Here's an idea for RV manufacturers - make a hookup that also feeds it AC power (not just DC like the current ones), and also make it run the other way - charging the truck FROM the RV. This will be a game changer (especially if you have plenty of solar panes on the RV).
With this, the possibilities infinite - like for example - extending the range of the truck when towing.
I dont really know much about what you just said, but I do know that airstream is coming out with a trailer called the “estream” designed to be towed by EV’s which basically doesnt cause the tow vehicle to lose any range. Idk how it works tbh, but it’s a very cool idea
very nice review I saw another review and they do have the propulsion sound on that particular truck. maybe you need to ask Ford how do you access it.
I say add a Battery extender that you can put in the bed that adds an extra 150mi of range. For longer trips. I could drive to Pheonix and back in my Hybrid with a 12 gallon tank in the Lightning I would spend an additional 2 hours in charging
I'd like to know what the real range is towing heavy trailers and doing real work. Still not sold on this just yet.
Really amazing review!! What color is this one? Oxford or star white?

Nope, guessing this is Oxford tho. Star has more metallic look.
