2022 Ford Lightning

Looks to be purely a street truck or limited all around type of truck. Travel looks short and nothing for serious off roading. I guess I’m time more models will surely be produced.

Looks to be. Sucks though but that’s how electric cars work I guess is all IFS. Still will be cool either way. Stuff will definitely get developed

So GM and Tesla prefer to use air suspension in there all around vehicle. I think the biggest reason they do this is to give them that adjustability for the ride and ride height and tie it into the electronic wizardry onboard and say it gives you this and that. Questions about its multi purpose use remain to be seen and how will it actually perform and hold up. For the average Joe pickup owner, probably pretty good.

230 miles of range base.. 300 miles of range extended. Not good at all

We will still have to wait from test reports how real world towing does on the battery. I thought Ford may have announced some trickery they came up with to extend life. Farley only mentioned dual charging converters on board for rapid charging. Not that we have details about it. This 300 range is sounding like the best everyone can do at this point. The EV hummer has a huge battery to do this and imagine the Tesla will need that as well. They will be super heavy, but tri motors put out the power to make up the difference. Overall looks interesting in many ways.

I guess I am still choosing between the tdi-motor cybertruck or the new raptor.

I think is pretty smart for specifically targeting fleet sales with the lightening by having a commercial trim. it just makes more sense. At $40k, rebates, and lower cost of maintenance and fuel/energy, it's a good investment. Depending on the job, you're not towing or taking this out of town, so who cares about the range? Ford also gets more of these on the road and more 'truck guys' open to the possibility of having an EV truck themselves. And none of the competition is targeting this segment of the market.

And I think I saw in one of the vids that it can equipped with some tracking data. So an employer not only knows where the truck is at all times, but the speed, energy consumed, etc. Might be something an employer is interested in.

I'm not saying that they don't care about selling the more lux version, as they clearly do, I just think they see potential beyond the young hipsters who need to feel like they are saving the planet.

Put a reservation in. I'm not a luddite like some people are and this thing is awesome. Can power my house AND I can take it with me and power other peoples houses in a pinch? Yes please. Also, the 300 mile range is plenty enough for most purposes.

I love bleeding edge tech and this is part of that with Fords backing.

Using the lightning name means it should have at least had an OPTION for sport package, lowered, on 20" thick meats, 700hp, 1000torque, 10's in the quarter stock., instead it's a boring body, 300 mile range, 4.6second 0-60 utility truck

lol. This truck does 1 second quicker 0-60, some that have drove it say it handles like a sports car and this is your take?

Jesus, this thing will smoke in order, the Gen 1, 2 and 3 (to include the Raptor R), the TRX and your precious SVT Lightning.

Your take is bad and you should feel bad.
