It feels just like any other F-150, but quieter and quick.
Press the start button on the dashboard, shift into drive and go. It does pretty much everything any other F-150 does, only better, and looks almost exactly like its gas-powered and hybrid sisters, the best-selling vehicles in America for 40 years running.Īnyone that has ever driven a modern F-150 will instantly feel at home in the Lightning. The Lightning is first and foremost an F-150. The Lightning isn’t the first electric pickup to reach customers, but the Rivian R1T is a smaller and pricier truck targeted at outdoors lifestyle customers and the GMC Hummer is an expensive and heavy toy.
After five years of anticipation, Ford’s first all-electric pickup is finally here and promises to be the vehicle that makes EVs mainstream. But that year plans for a rather pedestrian EV crossover were scrapped, and Dearborn chose to take a deep dive on Mustang Mach-E and F-150 Lightning projects. Until 2017, Ford’s attitude toward electrification had been closer to Toyota’s than Tesla’s, which is to say reluctant. Coming soon to pretty well everywhere near you: the 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning blends EV power seamlessly into the traditional virtues of the F-Series, America’s best-selling vehicle for 40 years running.
