Editor's Analysis & Field Notes
The Ford F-150 Lightning preserves everything truck buyers expect from the legendary F-Series while leveraging electric propulsion to create unique advantages. Dual-motor all-wheel drive is standard, pumping out up to 580 horsepower and 775 lb-ft of torque for a 0-60 sprint of 4.0 seconds. With the Extended Range battery, it earns an EPA rating of 320 miles. Where the Lightning truly shines is utility. Its lockable 400-liter front trunk (Mega Power Frunk) holds two sets of golf clubs and includes four 120-volt electrical outlets with 2.4 kW output. In the bed, Ford's Pro Power Onboard delivers up to 9.6 kW of 120V and 240V electricity, capable of powering an entire residential home during grid outages. It remains the most sensible electric truck on sale.
