#CoupleCarReview
This is a Motormouth couple car review of the new Ford F-150 Lightning full electric pickup truck. The Ford F-150 Lightning with a whopping 775 lb-ft of torque. All models of the Ford F-150 Lightning come with dual electric motors, standard range models have a 98 kWh battery with 370 km/240 miles, a combined 462 horsepower. Extended Range models a 131 kWh battery with 515 km/320 miles, a combined 580 horsepower. The Ford F-150 Lightning offers 8.4” of ground clearance, it has unique signature front lighting that wraps around the headlamps and extends across the entire front of the hood. It comes standard with LED headlights and LED taillights, a grey satin metallic grille, black or a tinted chrome grille depending on the trim you choose, 18” wheels in the US, 20” in Canada, available 22”. The F-150 Lightning is only offered as a crew cab with a 5.5-foot bed and payload varies depending on the vehicle configuration, maximum payload 2200 pounds. The Lightning can tow up to 10,000 pounds but it varies with each model. The interior cabin space of the F-150 Lightning is spacious and comfortable and has unique stow away shifter. The available work surface folds directly from the centre console creating a mobile office. The Lightning has lots of storage including a front trunk that offers 14.1 cubic feet of space or 400 litres. The frunk has four 120-volt outlets so you can run things like a laptop, microwave or even power tools. The Ford F-150 Lightning comes standard with a 12” touchscreen with Sync4, wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto and a 12” digital driver display. The Lariat adds the larger 15.5” touchscreen which you see in our test model. In Canada, the F-150 Lightning SR starts at $79,000, Lariat SR $90,000, XLT ER $95,000, Lariat ER $108,600, Platinum ER $121,000. In the US, Pro SR $55,974, XLT SR $63,474, XLT ER $80,974, Lariat SR $74,474, Lariat ER $85,974, Platinum ER $96,874.

My husband loves your review but he wants to say that this truck is perfect for him. He's an electrician and loves that it comes with a generator feature and all the other features he can use on different job sites. It has great torque for towing to sites around town he says he won't need to tow further than 50 miles. It has a good load capacity he says he can carry all his tools in that awesome frunk.

@frankdovi4223 Год назад

I always find it amusing when people are upset when someone buys a light-duty pickup truck and doesn't do "Truck Things". They don't have anything to say when someone buys a 700hp Shelby Mustang and never takes it to the track. When someone buys a fullsize SUV like the new Cadillac Escalade V with 600 plus horsepower to drop off the kids at school. Lol People will buy what they like and what they can afford and the automakers know that. The Lightening is just another option for F150 customers to choose from and the reality is Ford can't build enough of them to satisfy demand.

Form a driving expense I derived this from the video. 60-90% charge on a DC charger was $21. Standard range 370km x 30% = 111kms. F150 Hybrid 3.5 ecoboost rated at 9.8L/100km combined. Therefore 9.8 x 1.11 = 10.9L - regular gas in Alberta is around $1.25/L or less, $1.25x10.9L = $13.63. That is 37% less $ per KM with the hybrid. And... no towing limitations, no range limitation, you can run your tools, run your house. Hybrids are by far the better solution for a working truck at this time in my opinion.

@MrDomestosWC Год назад

Correct, that’s assuming your ford has a relatively good kWh usage during winter months and trust me as an EV owner I’ll tell you that kWh usage below -20 is outrageous. Charging at home would be cheaper but you won’t be able to charge to 100% overnight and nevertheless EV trucks are a total nonsense. I own a Tesla and ram 1500 and each one of those have their own purpose and place on the market. Check hummer EV it costs twice as much to drive than it’s ICE cousin.

@kirklins8411 Год назад

I think the big advantage would be if you can charge at home. At 12 cents/kw and a 98kw battery that would only be $11.76 to charge the whole battery to full.

buying an EV with the intention of primarily charging it using public fast chargers is for people that are too stuck in their own ways. Public charging should really only be done sparingly

I've owned a 2017 F-150 Supercrew for about 3 years now. XLT, 4×4 and base (non-turbo) V-6. That engine even has more HP and TQ than a V-8 truck back when I was a young man in the '90's. I'm happy with it, but would like one of these if I could afford it. Living and working in the city, most of my driving is supposed and go, so extended range EV a charge would last me a couple of weeks. For a homeowner like myself that only occasionally uses the truck for dump or Home Depot runs this would be fine. That almost $100K pricetag is just too much. Great review folks, thanks!

I've driven an F150 for years and love it. I tow on rare occasions but for the most part it's my daily driver from work and back. I have hobbies that I use the truck for on a regular basis and would be lost without my truck bed. The lightning would suit my needs just fine. All the benefits of a gas light duty full size pick up without the massive cost of filling the gas tank. If the lightning was the same price as a gas powered F150. The lightning would be my choice.

I love mine. It hauls hay when I need and my surfboards most of the time. Like most people who buy a crew cab short box truck I am not using it for “work” stuff. For that I have my 2500 HD. The Lightning is amazing and I wouldn’t drive any other vehicle as my daily driver.

@genericreference6969 Год назад

Yup. This seems exactly to be the use case scenario - short haul daily driving. I commented earlier that a PHEV pickup truck would seem to make more sense for most. Your situation seems to achieve the functional equivalent of a PHEV. :)

@greenne Год назад

Its crazy everyone gets so caught up on towing long distances. Only a small portion of towing is long distances. A lot of people tow local and the Lightning tows great. If you need to simply tow your boat to the Lake or a contractor around town the Lightning tows better than any gas/diesel truck. Everyone gets upset over the one use case it does not work, but Ford sell 900,000 f150s a year with various uses. The f150 Lightning knocks it out of the park for most uses. I own one and its a fantastic vehicle.

A practical plug-in hybrid should have been Ford's priority with decent cold weather and towing range. 40 to 60kms of battery range for short commutes and daily activities with a 4 cylinder ICE to tow and when the mercury dips.

Today my buddy drove me from New york to Syracuse. On the way we stopped near the end of NJ at the Penn state border. There was a row of people yawning in their teslas with umbilical cords to their creepy chargers. As we sat down and pulled away, I said No thanks, this joke's on you. The range is great but we had to get somewhere by a certain time and the snow was falling hard. The last thing I need is a battery charging time upwards of 40 minutes, alarms going off because we're using too much heat and it's cold outside, and then hunting to go to a charging station where 50% of the plugs don't work.

I was fortunate enough to be an early reservation holder and got the first Lightning (Lariat ER) in Western NY early June 2022. I have 18,600 miles already (trouble free) and love the utility and versatility. I'll only towed 5k or less locally and towing performance is great but obviously as with all EV, aerodynamics is the deciding factor on how far you go. Pricing is high but I was in early when an every option Lariat ER was under $80k. One key feature vs a traditional half ton is the independent rear suspension. The ride is more full size body on frame SUV than pick up. Great road tripper as 270 miles at 70 mpg is doable and 320 around town. Charging curve is solid and will hold 170 kw for 10-15 mins and is always in triple figures until 80%. Overall, my far the most impressive vehicle I've owned and we've owned 40+ in our family since the mid 1980s. P. S. Max towing is 10,000 lbs with the Max Tow pkg

Yeah I was going to bring up something similar. There was a study down on how often truck owners tow or use the bed, and the vast majority didn't. They liked the fact that they had the ability too, but very rarely did. The Lightning will serve these people perfectly and if you are in the minority, you are already looking at something more capable than an F150

Hauling and towing is great if used locally. Not for long distance traveling or towing because the charging infrastructure just isn't ready for them yet. Once there's as many charging stations as there are gas stations, range won't be an issue

@Skotty64081 5 месяцев назад

Trucks are not just for hauling long range. Granted, you don't want it if hauling long range until they have longer range batteries and more pull through charging locations. But there are tons of truck things this truck can do, and Ford did a nice job with it. A list of "truck things" I've done with a pickup truck in the last couple of years that didn't include any long range towing: towing a dump trailer in town, towing a pull behind auger in town, hauling large gravel, hauling pea gravel, hauling mulch, hauling scrap concrete to the dump, hauling generic garbage to the dump, hauling rentable equipment like compacters, hauling concrete sacks, hauling construction supplies from home improvement stores, moving furniture. That is a ton of stuff, most of which could not have been done without a pickup truck.

Perhaps EVs should state hot and cold battery ranges? Probably would better inform customers what to expect in various temperature scenarios.

Drove peterborough to east of ottawa... 320km ... battery went from 85% to 9% in a minus 7 to minus 10 weather. Anything not on the highway is better gets better mileage. Confident i will be getting over 500km range in the summer weather. Also have to say that the truck cabin goes from dead cold to fully hot within 3 minutes. There is no waiting for the heart.

I think the hybrid version is the best powertrain for the people who go on longer trips or tow loads any distance. It can save gas innthe city and that mobile power pack may be appealing. For the full ev. People who have their cottage/cabin fairly close to home. It should be able to do most daily driver duties with out a trailer no problem. If it had a stripped down work truck model it could be a good companion to a gas model on work sites. Work sites that don't require long hauls.

@richardwagner8837 Год назад

My partner and I have a 2022 Mach-E (and a 2023 Kona EV) and love it. However, we will definitely be investing in a Ford Lightning this year as we live in rural Canada and need to regularly power through lots of snow and ice and generally rough terrain - as well as move/haul heavy items that simply won't fit in a car or SUV. This is pretty typical with rural living (we currently use a Dodge Ram for this kind of stuff). Ford Lighting is perfectly suited to a rural lifestyle so I believe that's the main market.

I think this truck will appeal to a small segment of the population. Those who are: 1. tech nerds 2. have a household income of at least $300K 3. have a husband that spends a good deal of time doing projects around the house and is therefore in the big box stores very often 4. doesn't tow very often and when they do, again, it's power equipment from a big box store, less than 20 miles from their house I personally don't think there are enough people such as this, which is why this will always be a niche truck. Now since Ford produces so many other cars, this isn't an issue. There are companies like Rivian and Lucid, however, who are having major issues with sales. Simply put, not enough people are buying their incredibly expensive cars.

Great review you hit the nail on the head, too expensive for the quality you get. Lightening's on fire at Dearborn Assembly did create a "Stop Build" order until the battery issues can be investigated. Also in Oregon one of these was "bricked" at a charger and they have no idea what happened after taking it to a dealership. As a Ford owner for the last 5 vehicles Im exhausted with all the recalls on my 2021 Explorer ST, its at 5 now and counting. Ford's SYNC3 and SYNC4 is the most poorly executed automotive software available, their mobile App FordPass barely works 60% of the time. Time to look elsewhere for quality at these prices.

PHEV really seems to be the answer here, for those who need to preserve occasional towing capacity

@lplt 11 месяцев назад

can you two revisit this as they just slashed the price to 69K and qualifies for 9K rebates in BC!

@Zera823 Год назад

I have a 22' XLT SR that was $69k CAD. Unfortunate how the prices spiked 10k in 2023.

@michaelsylvester7272 Год назад

Hey there! Great review yet this a great question who is this made for? Too expensive for my taste.

@josemanuellopezlopez27 Год назад

Prettty good!!

@bobcabot Год назад

ja a funny phenomenon kicks in already: the more you see of them trucks look almost alike the more they look like any...

@berthogendoorn2133 Год назад

Contractor towing, in town where it all happens, cannot do better, the towing issue is only high speed highway with large high and wide trailers with lots of drag, such as a RV not a good choice.

@garrylarose1506 6 месяцев назад

Im a plumbing contractor, few things to consider such as with an incorporated business I can only write off $35k of a work vehicle unless its full electric then I can write off 100%. Also Im seeing these lightnings for sale for $69000 CAD, and you get a $9000 givernment incentive. So now were looking at $60,000 truck I can write off 100% of the cost of. 300km a day range with apparently the payload not having a detrimental affect on the range, unlike towing. Few reasons Im considering a lightning over another diesel.

A great honest review, no one who truly needs a full size pickup would buy a full EV lighting. It's a status symbol.

So half the light duty market lol

Is getting the extended range battery pack justified for an extra 16k? My normal total to and back work daily drive is under 100 kilometers from South Surrey to Downtown Vancouver. I work 4 days in a week with occasional extra 1 day if extra day is needed. I'm thinking of getting XLT standard range, please suggest me otherwise. Thanks in advance.

Rain Man was an excellent driver.

@timondelacruz9654 17 дней назад

how long does the battery last till you need to replace them and how much? or the car is disposable after 5 to 10yrs?

@J_S_246 Год назад

Wow!

@frumpd63 Год назад

BEVs make the most sense as smaller, more efficient vehicles. IMO there should be a "mineral guzzler tax" over 85 kwh that discourages manufacturers from building massive vehicles that demand equally massive batteries. Hybrid and maybe PHEV makes the most sense for pickups.

@clearcut6818 Год назад

Silly

@MarioDallaRiva Год назад

Thanks, Andrea & Zack. Interesting that you mentioned the hybrid. Andre, TFL Truck’s main man for Roman recently sold his F150 hybrid. Personal vehicle and he absolutely loved it. A great compromise as he tows a boat regularly fairly long distance for recreation with his family. Onboard powerbed capability another plus. I think he even charged a friend’s Model 3 while at the lake where they go if I recall. I always wonder how many of the full sized pickups sold annually are used for serious work/towing/hauling 🤷🏻‍♂️

@myt-bird8100 Год назад

For my purposes (I was an Electrical Contractor) it wouldn't work for me as I always was towing a trailer or hauling large loads and always required an 8 foot bed as our conduit is 10 feet in length.

@really9025 Год назад

The fact that Ford has halted production of the Lightening for several weeks due to battery fire issues is not a good indicator they have figured everything out yet despite the cute design features. Seems they are still several years away from solving the main issues. Looks good though!

Hi guys please make a video on Audi s3 please

@lenm2857 Год назад

Towing range is mostly determined by the aerodynamics of the trailer, not so much the weight. Edmunds did a towing test with a 7,000 lb trailer and got 170 miles. In my case I tow 7,000-8000 lbs 25-30 times a year (at harvest time), but I only go around 40 miles (and back empty), so I could charge it over night and it would work perfectly (and cost a LOT less than gas). Now if they could just reduce the eye watering purchase price....

@bradhaines3142 10 месяцев назад

every pickup has insane prices though

@ranolfojr.boholst8780 Год назад

I'll buy it in a heartbeat 😊if I had the money 😁

@cujoyyc4453 Год назад

Much like the Mustang, the F-150 Lightning is a statement vehicle for Ford. Ford is saying "We're here for the EV revolution and to prove it we're electrifying a legendary and iconic model (Mustang) and the best selling North American truck for decades."

@vancity2349 Год назад

Kudos to Ford for being an early EV truck builder, but it has lots of bugs to fix, its pricey, and dealers are playing games with them over charging and manipulating buyers…

@tomdrummy4984 Год назад

Expensive toy 🙂

@tbone9405 10 месяцев назад

I have a 22 lightning, a few small issues have been taking care of with over the air updates. Gotten use to the guess o meter. Rides is very comfortable, enjoyable every time. So quiet. Using my existing wall mount charger in my garage, so nice to fill up over night! My get the larger 80 amp wall charger later. I tow 2 to 4 times a year. It’s works for me! For people that need more towing you can look elsewhere, don’t knock it for people like me.

@sentryion3106 Год назад

I do agree that people are overly harsh on one manufacturers over the other. Tesla do have a pretty good list of combustion but somehow it has never caused a big enough splash to investigate why (or perhaps all investigation points to a one off occurrence?) Hyundai and Kia is deserved though since iihs wrote a study and it confirmed that on average Kia and Hyundai car are significantly more likely to gets fire claim from 2011-2016 and it increases with time,

@josemanuellopezlopez27 Год назад

Is it bigger?

@markymarc136 Год назад

This is what Ford did: They build an all-electric truck to show the others(Chevy & Ram & Rivian) that they could. It doesn't matter that it can't work like a gas truck because it is not designed to do that. And Ford knew it all along. This is not a surprise to them.

@michaelguilfoyle3847 Год назад

hmmm..who will by this...someone who has to have the latest and greatest tech...and 150k with taxes burning a hole in their pocket...nobody who is going to be towing or using as a work truck for sure....to me it is kinda a gimicky lifestyle choice item...but hey..its the trend going forward..just hope the engineers for the internal combustion engines do not put away their calculators just yet.nice review,,enjoy😊

@jeanwong647 Год назад

It’s 2023. Why does truck still have antenna mast on the front fender?

@gs98999 Год назад

To warn you that you’re too high in a parkade. If antenna hits, means you probably need to stop and back out.

@kevinbiggs1 Год назад

$90K+ is a lot to spend on a family mover truck that you can only use to tow occasionally. Plenty of other hybrids out there that do (almost) the same things for a lot less.

@erniearruda8861 Год назад

Problem now that ford has recalled their lightening and cancelled sale and put a stop order preduction from the factory due to battery issues and fire

@garthbrown5725 7 месяцев назад

I think this city folks will like electric trucks

@lskit Год назад

I had a reservation for over a year. However, when the promise of a relatively reasonably priced electric truck was devoured by Ford’s greedy bait and switch tactics, I bailed. We bought a BMW X5 45e PHEV for much less than the truck would have cost. I’ll keep driving my old truck for a few more years until competition can temper some of the greed in the truck market.
