The Worlds *Most* POWERFUL Truck: The F-150 Lightning

So you've officially become the brand ambassador of electric trucks.

Actually way cooler than I thought it would be

I really appreciate a company when they give you /exclusive/ access to their product but don't forbid you from mentioning their competitors. This is the way! Great video Zack!

I appreciate that the Ford looks mostly like a normal truck, there are already plenty of spaceship-looking EVs for people who want that style. I hope they are reliable, because an electric pickup should be super useful. Imagine being able to back into your garage without poisoning yourself, or having instant cabin heat in the early morning without making engine noise or stink.

This is seriously cool

Man I am torn. I love the Rivian but I did preorder the Lightning so I decided to keep it to see when it will actually ship. Thanks for the video!

If you had told me 5 years ago that Ford would be making such smart decisions and helping to pave the way for the future of EV, I would have laughed in your face. The smartest thing they have done was to make it just look like a traditional pickup truck. If they drop the same power plant into a Ranger Lightning, it might just outsell the Tacoma in the mid-sized category.

Like you said, I think THIS truck is a game changer for electric vehicles! It serves an already well establish market segment, and can move many people over to electric with ease. The range, carrying capacity, and towing package are excellent. (RANGE!!!!) The fact that in addition to the large center screen (on the higher trim models), they still also kept all the physical buttons everywhere else that you'd expect is top notch understanding of their buyers! NO ONE wants to have to navigate through on-screen tabs and menus to accomplish something that used to be a no-look single button push!!! (glaring at Tesla) The front trunk storage is awesome! (I wonder if someone will make front trunk tool bins that replace bed tool boxes?) The outlets all around the vehicle, including 240v in the bed are sweet, and the ability to send power back to the home during an outage via the charging cable with some extra hardware installed in the home is a major leap forward!!! Oh, and the charging rate that this truck is capable of is incredible, and nicely future proofed since it exceeds what most charging stations currently offer. Lastly, the Ford Charge Station Pro... WOW, 80 AMPs... (needing a 100 AMP circuit from the panel) that just makes me giddy. (100 AMPs is my whole service panel currently.)

I guess I'll be waiting a year or two to see how it does as far as maintenance and reliability and how well Ford treats it's lightning owners. I like what I've seen here, now I just need the rest and I'll buy it.

“Here let me get your front tire… Oh. JerryRigEverything? Cool. Like the Hummer.” 😂

I’ve always been interested in an F-150. The gas mileage of a truck was always a deterrent to me. This electric pick up will be a game changer to many people who feel the same way I do.

Those tie down point are also bottle openers panoramic sunroof is also 👌

I'm NEVER gonna get a truck but I follow these videos with so much interest

Really wanted one but when my local dealer called and wanted an additional 20k, I told them no thanks. Cancelled my order.

I cannot appreciate enough how unbiased and informational your channel is. Thank you.

I live in North Carolina, and right near the water so hurricanes ruin my home at least once a year. This truck would be a game changer knowing I could pair it with my generator and power my house for quite a long time when the power goes out from Hurricane (Insert name here) ruining the grid. Love it. Great review.

My only concern with Rivian is longevity and part availability, Ford has been here for a very long time and will be here for even longer so I know parts will be available and this truck will just get better and better each year. Tesla has really improved and made a good name for themselves, I hope they make a work truck version of the cybertruck but it will be great I believe.

This is seriously cool, looks like Ford made this thing to be called "cool" by all the ev and truck fans out there

Still wish it had gas backup, that would make it a true generator. The hybrid seems more common sense, especially in actual power outage scenarios.

The home backup battery feature alone makes this extremely competitive against other offerings. Starting at 40k for the pro model that can do all of that and not including tax incentives, it looks promising.
