What? It can tow a trailer like....

100 miles before needing a charge....how is that not a truck?

Tow No! The Ford F-150 Lightning Struggled in Our Towing Test

We towed 3100-, 5300-, and 7200-pound travel trailers with Ford’s electric truck and didn’t get very far from home.

Don't have possession yet, but Ford just sent me a picture of my F-150 Lightning

When do you expect it? That will be a fun day.

Within the week. Super stoked.

Not a truck.

Why “not a truck”?

Ktar

Not a "100% useful truck" would be more accurate.

It's use-case dependent. Lightning would be great for a contractor who only does

Maybe, but it's hard to find a contractor that doesn't have the occasional day

I brought this up to a coworker the other day and I've never seen someone get so defensive about anything...

I will say that my 1994 Dodge Ram couldn’t go much further

But how long did it take you to fill your tank and keep driving. For me it is

9/14/22 9:25am

This is the issue. EV and ICE trucks experience the same MPG loss when towing,

Jeremy

I am considering it. I live in the mountains and use my truck for towing

cougarfann888

Its not a truck because it should cost $120 to fill the tank... not $15.

TheLost

Exactly! However, the only difference may be charge time vs fueling time.

Ktar

Hard to say which side is oddly more defensive.

Love the color

So much better looking than the Rivian.

Congrats! Looks great.

So far it’s the only electric truck that looks decent. Even the new Chevy one

Hard to tell but is that Antimatter Blue Metallic?

TheLost

Smoked Quartz. I often confuse the two.

Jeremy

9/14/22 9:37am

My car is antimatter blue. Looks cool in direct sunlight but otherwise it basically just looks black, which I'm

is that a scratch?

Freaking rich CBers.

I will stick with my 5.0 L V8 F150

Loafer

Yep, I love my 5.0 as well.
