America's plugging in to its favourite vehicle: the F-150 truck. We drive the Blue Oval's new all-electric Lightning pick-up in the States ⚡️
Americans just can’t quit their Ford pick-up trucks. The Blue Oval has moved over 26 million F-150s in the States, making it the top-selling vehicle in the land of the free for nearly a half-century. It’s no wonder Ford hustled to offer an electrified version of its full-size best-seller, modifying the well-worn platform for the huddled masses yearning to breathe free. Quick – give ’em a zero-emissions option before they fall for that new Chevy EV. Or a Rivian.
Some of the Lightning’s easy road demeanour comes because of, not in spite of, its weight. Cruise along a gently winding road at a vaguely frisky pace, and the truck can hang with your requests. But try to tackle the technical bits with a heavy right foot, and you might feel like William ‘The Refrigerator’ Perry attempting to dance a soft-shoe.For all the pleasantly squishy aspects of the Lightning’s ride and handling, 775lb ft of twist on tap makes this dual-motor truck the torquiest F-150 yet.
The sensation is liberating for those familiar with pulling significant loads under straining conditions – up hills, across varying speeds, and any time there has been a modicum of mechanical sympathy extended to the strains of a heavily taxed valvetrain or transmission temperature.
