Ford is planning to manufacture its own batteries by 2025 and that could help reduce the production costs. Offering higher capacity battery packs will increase the manufacturing cost of the truck and the added weight may not make the truck as efficient as you would think. This isn’t a Ford problem, per se it’s an EV problem. }} In fact, Audi did a test in 2020 that also proved that the range is halved when towing to the full capacity. did some math and came to a conclusion that you’ll get a range of under 100 miles when towing at the max. Car and Driver did some math and came to a conclusion that you’ll get a range of under 100 miles when towing at the max. While the official figures say 230- and 300-mile range, these will be seriously hampered when you use the truck the way it’s supposed to be used. It's funny how Ford didn’t learn from its mistake even now.Ĭoming back to the range, if you aren’t in a hurry to get a new truck, we’d suggest you wait it out a year at the least because, at this point, electric trucks are nowhere as effective as internal combustion engine trucks. So, people using it as a work truck will need it the most and it should’ve been offered on all the trims. Back then, Ford even said the XLT – second from bottom – is the most popular trim. On the standard F-150, it is available on the top-tier trims – King Ranch, Platinum, and Limited. The bottom cushion rises to meet the back one while the upper back support rotates forward up to 10 degrees. These are basically seats that fold flat to nearly 180 degrees. Someone who will use the Lightning as a work truck will need it the most and these folks generally opt for the lower trims.įor the uninitiated, Ford introduced the Max Recline Seats on the 2021 F-150. It can be had only on the top Platinum trim by shelling extra moolah. While this seems fine, I’m a little perplexed as to why Ford didn’t offer Max Recline seats here as standard or optional on all the trims. The driver’s seat is 10-way power-adjustable on the Lariat and the Platinum trims. Step inside and you’ll find Vinyl bucket seats on the Pro model, cloth seats on the XLT, leather-appointed seats on the Lariat, and Premium Nirvana leather seats on the Platinum. The Ford F-150 Lightning is offered in a SuperCrew avatar only with seating for five folks. Do you think it will be a runaway success, or will the loyalists look around at other trucks? From the looks of it, the F-150 Lightning seems to be an all-rounder that offers good power outputs, decent range, and a lot of tech features. With all the subsidies and credits, the F-150 Lightning works out to be the cheapest full-size truck in the market today! (more on this in the ‘Pricing’ section). For now, Ford has launched it in one body style and three basic trims plus an exclusive work truck model, but expect it to grow in the coming years. The Ford truck comes with all the bells and whistles one can ask for, and then some more. But, none of them offer the all-round capability that the F-150 Lightning does. There are a lot of electric trucks launched in recent years, like the Tesla Cybertruck, the Rivian R1T, the Lordstown Endurance, the Bollinger B2, etc. ![]() Ford Motor Company reserves the right to modify the terms of this plan at any time.Ford debuted the F-150 Lightning in 2021, and the electric truck checks almost all the boxes and can be considered as the first mainstream electric pickup truck for the masses.
