The Worlds *Most* POWERFUL Truck: The F-150 Lightning
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 พ.ค. 2024
- Ford has taken Electric Vehicles to the next level. Lets hope everyone else can keep up. The new F-150 lightning can power an average home in the USA for THREE WHOLE DAYS. The massive battery pack and electric motors are a beast off road, can tow up to 10,000lbs, while still coming home at night to keep your entire house safe from power outages. Mind blowing. Nice work Ford!

So you've officially become the brand ambassador of electric trucks.
Yessssir!!
i mean he DID build one
Anyone remember leokimvideo and his toy reviews?
A lot of reviews are essentially advertisements and don’t give you the negatives. Lord knows the TH-cam comment section isn’t much better.
Who designated that title officially?
Because he's basically free advertising for these companies
Actually way cooler than I thought it would be
Great truck, it's so handsome 👍 ♥️!
We have to give credit to Ford. All those years of building and selling trucks does give them some idea as to what the consumer wants. At the end of the day, you still have to sell a product that is also desirable and affordable. Otherwise, it doesn't do you any good if you can only offer it to just a select portion of the market.
@Don't read profile photo man you are sick😂😂
Actually NOT the most powerful truck. There’s a handful that have way more power.
except my buddy got rid of his after getting stranded from 2 hours of driving with a trailer, and 580 horse is only impressive when looking at electric vehicles the dodge ram TRX has over 900 horse
I really appreciate a company when they give you /exclusive/ access to their product but don't forbid you from mentioning their competitors. This is the way! Great video Zack!
This is the way!
Rivian isnt competition, ford owns 18% percent of the company. Tesla is a data mining company not a car company. There is no comparison, at least not for electric trucks.
@@Exoticbuttters that’s good to know o- makes sense hmm
Total Garbage the government knows how to play with you lol.
I appreciate that the Ford looks mostly like a normal truck, there are already plenty of spaceship-looking EVs for people who want that style. I hope they are reliable, because an electric pickup should be super useful. Imagine being able to back into your garage without poisoning yourself, or having instant cabin heat in the early morning without making engine noise or stink.
Question is, who tf wants those styles? 😂
The futuristic crap is so tacky
@@user-pn3im5sm7k there’s people out there. But personally the f-150 lightning is the best looking, simply because it’s shares a majority of its design with the normal one.
@@user-pn3im5sm7k I would like a truck that is hard to ding by car doors, shopping carts and errant 2x4's or hammers on a job site. I also hate paint, hate bling and hate plastic. I've leased vehicles and found it incredibly hard to prevent the minor everyday damage. Style is cool if it lasts and isn't subject to damage in a hail storm or a parking lot...
@@user-pn3im5sm7k Would you drive a truck that looks like a horse carriage? Today's trucks were futuristic at one point. I want my Teslorean truck.
@@user-pn3im5sm7k my guess is the same ppl who bought the Pontiac Aztecs ….
“Here let me get your front tire… Oh. JerryRigEverything? Cool. Like the Hummer.” 😂
That was hilarious!
Staight up 😂
Is he that famous in his area?
@@Kytetiger he lives in a small town so I assume everyone knows who he is
Great coverage of power outlets and Intelligent Backup Power feature including $3895 price. Setting the bar that Cybertruck and others should match, indeed.
I guess I'll be waiting a year or two to see how it does as far as maintenance and reliability and how well Ford treats it's lightning owners. I like what I've seen here, now I just need the rest and I'll buy it.
Might as well put in your preorder right now because it's most likely gonna take a year or two on waiting when it arrives to you.
Electric trucks are terrible. The battery will die sooner then later if you put it in a work truck. Pulling, payload, off road. All of that will strain the battery faster. Lose your charge quicker and the battery wont hold charge because of, the excess heating from over use and charging.
@@Phillipnoogen ehh unlike the newer manufacturers Ford already has a lot of equipment and people and such so once the initial wave is done it'll probably just be available on the lots. If I don't have one for 5 years because I am waiting them oh well, I guess I'll just have to drive my perfectly good f150 till then. 🤷
@@user-ph2jg8zx9m Hmmm I'm gonna trust the automotive engineers and not random slouch on the web here. Seeing as you have so many electric trucks to look at for your perspective.
@@JoshDoingLinux not because it's an ev. because ordering a new car takes 12 months😫 welcome in 2022
If you had told me 5 years ago that Ford would be making such smart decisions and helping to pave the way for the future of EV, I would have laughed in your face. The smartest thing they have done was to make it just look like a traditional pickup truck. If they drop the same power plant into a Ranger Lightning, it might just outsell the Tacoma in the mid-sized category.
U think Evs are a SMART decision? It's backwards technology
An EV Ranger will not outsell a Tacoma, the infrastructure for EVs still needs another decade to advance. Until we start allowing more nuclear power plants renewable energy won't be enough
Why would that surprise you? Ford has quite literally been the innovator in trucks consistently for the last 2+ decades. Sure, sometimes it hasn't worked out for them but no other company has been pushing boundaries like they have. The only thing I can name that someone else did first was Dodge with coil rear suspension, other than that basically everything meaningful came from Ford first.
You can thank Elon for that.
@@fakumadda1632 that's right. If there was no Musk, it would never be Tesla and so the electric vehicles therefore we are all still stuck to the internal combustion engines.
I’ve always been interested in an F-150. The gas mileage of a truck was always a deterrent to me. This electric pick up will be a game changer to many people who feel the same way I do.
This is seriously cool, looks like Ford made this thing to be called "cool" by all the ev and truck fans out there
Ford said that about half of the people who already put orders for the truck never had a truck before. Basically people like you who were worried about gas before but not anymore
Same reason I’d order one of these, or a hybrid f150. Poor gas mileage. This thing is incredible. I can’t charge it in my apartment so I won’t be buying one for quite a few years, but damn do I want one
ok
i ama waiting for a plug in hybrid
This is seriously cool
This is coolously serious
Yea seriously when tf has anyone ever needed there truck to power there house 🥴🥴
Super Truck by the way!
I'm NEVER gonna get a truck but I follow these videos with so much interest
@Don't read profile photo I wont

This is the first time I've even considered a truck, thanks to the amazing EV tech inside. What a cool vehicle. Ground clearance is pretty worrisome though, batteries don't like punctures last I heard
Like you said, I think THIS truck is a game changer for electric vehicles! It serves an already well establish market segment, and can move many people over to electric with ease. The range, carrying capacity, and towing package are excellent. (RANGE!!!!) The fact that in addition to the large center screen (on the higher trim models), they still also kept all the physical buttons everywhere else that you'd expect is top notch understanding of their buyers! NO ONE wants to have to navigate through on-screen tabs and menus to accomplish something that used to be a no-look single button push!!! (glaring at Tesla) The front trunk storage is awesome! (I wonder if someone will make front trunk tool bins that replace bed tool boxes?) The outlets all around the vehicle, including 240v in the bed are sweet, and the ability to send power back to the home during an outage via the charging cable with some extra hardware installed in the home is a major leap forward!!! Oh, and the charging rate that this truck is capable of is incredible, and nicely future proofed since it exceeds what most charging stations currently offer. Lastly, the Ford Charge Station Pro... WOW, 80 AMPs... (needing a 100 AMP circuit from the panel) that just makes me giddy. (100 AMPs is my whole service panel currently.)
I didn't even consider the front trunk tool bins omfg.....yesssss I want one with a fold out work bench could you imagine having your tools your cutting table and power all right there in the front.
It has excellent towing capacity, yes. But when using the excellent towing capacity, your range is gonna be dogsh*t.
I live in North Carolina, and right near the water so hurricanes ruin my home at least once a year. This truck would be a game changer knowing I could pair it with my generator and power my house for quite a long time when the power goes out from Hurricane (Insert name here) ruining the grid. Love it. Great review.
The 2021 F-150 hybrid is your best option. See the generator in the tailgate
And then if it's an extended outage you can charge the truck during low power usage that way you could have battery to run through the night without running the generator 24/7
Man I am torn. I love the Rivian but I did preorder the Lightning so I decided to keep it to see when it will actually ship. Thanks for the video!
Sounds like a good problem to have. 😂
They are both pretty amazing. Can't go wrong with either!
Give me your lightning pre-order.
Rivian is worthless as a truck…the bed is way too small.
@@jimdandy9118 that's not what your mom said.
Really wanted one but when my local dealer called and wanted an additional 20k, I told them no thanks. Cancelled my order.
*Stealership
Supply chain problems
Let Ford know, they punish dealers doing that
@@Bengy22 That is true, Ford CEO Jim Farley has put out statements that is dealers are found marking up Lightnings they will lose their yearly allotment
Ford is supposed to be cracking down on dealers doing this with the lightning, as in if they attempt to do it all lightning orders to that dealership will be canceled and the orders transfered to another one near by.
The home backup battery feature alone makes this extremely competitive against other offerings. Starting at 40k for the pro model that can do all of that and not including tax incentives, it looks promising.
The starting at 40k is a lie. If you go to their website it’s actually 46,000. They say you will save 6000 on gas over the life of the truck. So they advertise 40k….. that’s not how prices work Ford.
@@delawarepilot no it wasn’t it actually started at 39,000 the price recently increased
@@delawarepilot even if so, for an ev vehicle that has that kind of capability, my original point still stands. No tesla is capable of doing that yet. A home backup battery is really nifty to have especially in the south during hurricane season lol.
@@delawarepilot I hope that's not the case.. thats the same shady shit tesla does... I would classify that as fraud. Or at bare minimum false advertising, that immediately turns me off of products of companies who do that.... That means they are already trying to con me and I havent even bought anything from them yet... God forbid I do, cant imagine the fun surprises that are in store
I cannot appreciate enough how unbiased and informational your channel is. Thank you.
My only concern with Rivian is longevity and part availability, Ford has been here for a very long time and will be here for even longer so I know parts will be available and this truck will just get better and better each year. Tesla has really improved and made a good name for themselves, I hope they make a work truck version of the cybertruck but it will be great I believe.
Rivian is a play truck. Not a work truck. Cyber is both. I'll wait for the Cyber.
@@edgewood99 I really have high hopes for the Cybertruck also, Elon and team make amazing designs, top of my list for a truck but price is not reasonable for me for any of them and I wonder if companies will invest to get lower fuel costs.
@@edgewood99 cyber isn't a practical work truck. you can't buy a lumber rack the same day, slap it on and be back to work the next day. a lumber rack would look amazingly disgusting on the cyber and probably wouldn't be too functional{too tall to reach without ladders). this electric f-150 can slap on a lumber rack right away and be working the same day, if needed. cyber is novelty truck. no hard working guy who actually uses their trucks can afford one. just like the ev hummer, cyber is a novelty truck for rich people.
ok
Ford has retrofitted a battery to an existing model, so they can use existing assembly lines.
I like the Rivian, but I have my order in for the F150. For me, living in a rural area, I need the ability to haul it to the dealership when I break it, and I don't know anywhere around here that will handle a Rivian. The accessories part is also big for me, a lot of existing items should just work, and with the sales volumes they are looking at, I expect more will appear. But, all that said, I'm still waiting on the F150 for a while yet, so I have a Q4 e-tron showing up next month to tide me over.
How the hell do you get the money for two trucks? Not taking a loan I'm hoping?
@@matthijskkr No, bad phrasing on my part, I don't have a Rivian, and probably won't.
@@JCLoony Ah I see.
I think the ford is a great choice, seems like a good truck.
I'm also an investor in ford
Glad to see *some* rural folks have gotten away from feeling like their dick size is directly related to how much gasoline their truck consumes. Enjoy your new truck when it arrives!
@@justinreynolds6318 Ha, yeah, that is not an issue for me, but I know those people. I expect some amusing conversations with the local truck enthusiasts when this things starts to show up. The FUD is strong out here.
I'm a HUGE self-confessed Teslateer but I still think that apart from range, the F150 leaves the CYBRTRK in the dust in terms of overall functionality; when it comes down to it, functionality is the whole point of a Ute.
it's not even out yet (cyber) and god knows when it will come out, but whenever it does come out it will probably out sell the others just for the uniqueness of it.
- My guess
@@shahan484 Agreed. Despite all my reservations about it, I wish Tesla all the very best with their upcoming new product. The fact that it's electric, serving as a direct replacement for its ICE equivalent for every unit sold is the important thing.
@@shahan484 Highly unlikely it will out sell others. Ford sold 800,000 F150 in 2019 vs Tesla's model 3 with 200,000. People who use trucks will likely stick with the Big 3. People who want Cyber Truck and willing to pay premium will be less. Tesla is premium priced and has the build of the old Avalanche and Ridgeline. Reason both company's dropped that box design.
I’m still waiting for my Cybertruck but the Lightning’s styling appeals to middle America. BEV pickups are the future and the S curve is almost ready to start.
@@xcSTRIKERxc Tesla will make around 1,5mln vehicles this year. Ford wanted to make 1milion EVs in 2025? There is something wrong with that stat and its probably battery limitation of ford. When tesla is right now making new battery factory Ford does not. Until they sped up making batteries it will be super hard to make more cars than purely ev company. Thats also why Rivian is having hard time. As ev conversion progresses probably EV trucks are going to be split to few Ford models and Cybertuck. As they both arent fully possible to buy its hard to compare but I'm thinking it will be 50/50 Tesla/Ford(in trucks) in next few years.
I love the fact that he fully understands how important this particular truck is to future of the industry.
One small thing you missed 4:34 (it's a thing my dad really likes about his F-250) is that, the bed step actually has a handle you can grasp onto when you're stepping up. That little yellow circle knob thing pulls out and folds up to actually create a handy dandy handle. It's pretty nice, especially if you're a bit older. Allows you to use your arms to heave yourself up there instead of all leg power.
Yeah my dad has a 21 f150 and he uses that cause he has bad legs
I thoroughly appreciate this truck, especially because the F-150 is the highest selling VEHICLE in the U.S. so it will push the country's transition to more sustainable transportation. But that Zero-waste facility piece is HUGE to me. Implementing sustainability on multiple levels like this is big in my eyes
Ford F-150's are not the highest selling trucks in the US.. Maybe in your state but not the whole of USA.. Might want to check your facts by state.. FORD = Found On Roadside Dead..
so where do you think all the electricity will come from?
@@kellyyoung1665 solar & wind. Similar to gigafactories. But that’s an assumption
@@kellyyoung1665 Solar panels on your roof that provide more energy than what your house actually uses? Hell, you could probably rig up a solar panel on the roof of the truck to help with charging and increasing range.
@@wildfire5181 Europe went Green energy with windmills and solar…..all last summer the wind didn’t blow and it’s always cloudy so they were Fucked….just like Texas during the big Ice storm. Solar and wind are fools gold.
Those tie down point are also bottle openers panoramic sunroof is also 👌
My Favorite is your Electric Hummer, then comes the F150 Lightning - man, I had no idea the F150L existed. You are absolutely right this is a GAME CHANGER. I'm heading over to the Ford site to price one for myself.
I was sceptical about electric vehicles but you have put my mind at ease. I shall end up owning one in the future for sure. Thank you, Zack.
Hold on, if you have a trailer you have to unhitch it to charge up your truck. Hopefully you don't plan on trailering long distance
@@BLOPS2ps3 mostly city drive. But in some cases, I would have to travel a bit far. But by then Im sure they'd have placed plenty of charging ports around
@@harisrakovic559 Yeah hopefully they start making pass through charging stations but I would be hesitant to buy one now. I move alot and bring a trailer to haul my stuff
@@BLOPS2ps3 fair point, I'll just wait until they have sort of perfected the electrical lifestyle
when telsa gets its eletric semi ready for road. i think most truck gas station will have good charging set up for trailers vehicles
so you're telling me it doesn't require blinker fluid, sounds too good to be true.
I refuse to believe Ford found a way to get rid of blinker fluid
Thanks for showing all these vehicles. The tech is really cool.
Thankyou Jerry for your great reports and postings.
This is seriously cool, looks like Ford made this thing to be called "cool" by all the ev and truck fans out there
I would say. More “traditional” And those who like traditional would say. It’s cool
@@daddystired true
Looks very traditional to me. The CONTRACTORS are going love this truck No gensets anymore on the job site etc !!

Repent to Jesus Christ
““Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.”
Matthew 6:19 NIV
I like the F-150 for the low frunk opening. In every other you need to do a high lift.
Would love one of these. Would like to know more about charging station availability, range when towing a travel trailer, how long it takes to charge when away from home, and it’s use when Boondocking.
Love it. Thanks Buddy!
This, and all the other electric trucks, never fail to impress me
This is the only electric truck so far
@@aaronwestley3239 not really a truck, pretty much an electric ridgeline. It's an suv with a bed. Ford built an actual body on frame truck with all the work horse capabilities
@Don't read profile photo
report this bot.
I have no use for a truck, I have never wanted a truck, but these electric trucks are pretty cool and do kinda make me want one.
Granted I still have no use for a truck, so a regular electric car would still be more efficient than an electric truck.
Now if only the supply chains could get back to normal so cars were available. And if the housing market would get back to normal so houses at which to charge an electric car were affordable.
Hebrews
12:14 Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.

3:17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
3:19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.
I must say that I love the idea of your vehicle having the ability to become a home scale battery bank. When combined with solar, your vehicle is saving you money just by being sat in the garage.
Honestly I was waiting for the bend test.
Love the videos mate.
The simple and classic design + all the workhorse features + especially the off-the-grid config is what makes EVs unique. Fashy luxury is riduculous. This is classic luxury with brains. Well played, Ford!
I have been watching things I can't afford on your channel for years and am still going 😂😂😂😂😂
It's really disappointing that this ford comes with a 5.5 bed . No 6.5 bed options available for this huge price.
Still wish it had gas backup, that would make it a true generator. The hybrid seems more common sense, especially in actual power outage scenarios.
It will be interesting to see what kind of range Ford will get when they design an aerodynamic truck vs F150. it's been fun seeing the different reviews. Haven't seen anyone talk about the tech of aerodynamic they have used in the F150 underneath the vehicle....why it's important not to have it in any other mode but offroad when going off road (aerodynamic plates underneath opening and closing) and vice versa (off road mode on the highway will greatly reduce range). So much engineering tech here....congrats Ford.
I'm impressed. Ford do produce good vehicles but they rarely stand out - kind of like the base model but then you choose another manufacturer if you want more. This really does seem like it's been designed for the customer, not as competition to it's rivals but really looking at what it's customers want.
Love everything about this, except for 2 things that have no place in an electric vehicle.
1) Why have a start/stop button when there is keyless operation and there is no danger from asphyxiation of a running engine’s exhaust?
2) Why have a bulky shifter when there is no transmission? The fact that there is another button to articulate the shifter out the way highlights the silliness of that design. Just use small buttons to select P, D, N and R as well as to offer motor braking adjustment to maximize interior space and simplify the design. Each drive you spend about 1 second selecting selecting ‘gears’.
You need the shifter to rest your right hand while steering with the left hand on top of the wheel.
@@StefanNoack What’s interesting is that the original shifter (for manual transmissions) is not something you’d want to continuously apply load to in between shifts as that’s not good for the transmission.
But then of course came the electro-mechanical shifters in automatics (and some EVs) where this habit doesn’t matter. It’s just too bulky to have without adding more value than a hand rest. 😆
Love the song and scene at the start, classic Ford f150 stuff
Great video. I just purchased the Lariat, and I just love it. Lightning 🌩 all the way. Hoo-ah!
This is the first EV I’ve actually wanted. As a filmmaker being able to drive this thing to remote set and power all my led lighting and accessories would be a game changer! I like buying new cameras more though so I guess I’m stuck with my Prius 😂
Don’t ever tell anyone you drive a Prius. Only old ladies drive them not men.
@@jimdandy9118 well good for you for being rich and having a nice car. You seem to have forgotten most people don’t have as much money as you do.
@@WestonNey The Prius is not cheap.
@@jimdandy9118 mine was, it was $2500 used on FB marketplace
@@WestonNey Good luck with that. Sorry.
7:00 Minor correction, but I believe you mean people with limited vision can still hear the vehicles, not folks who have limited hearing.
Loving all the EV content lately.
Electric Vehicles are silent especially at low speeds as the tire noise isn't that loud. I think he meant hearing. The sound is supposed to be louder than the tire noise at lower speeds.
@@Lovin_NY93 I think Matt is right, its definitely for people with limited vision. The sounds these EVs make are not loud enough for someone who is "Hard of hearing" to hear.
I ride a bike, and I can tell you you’re gonna hear the engine roar before you see anything.
I’d like to see how cyclists and pedestrians will react to basically silent things that go 60 miles an hour.
@@AndrewWellsPlus it's definitely louder than tire noise at or below 30 or 35 mph, there's a rav4 hybrid in my neighborhood that runs in EV mode, and I always hear it coming from farther than other cars.
Excellent video, good details.
Love you positive outlook and focusing on the positive brought to the table instead of dogging on the competition. All EV automotive roads lead to a brighter future. Great Review!
Would love to see a farmer or union welder or someone give their take on it. Or even someone more obscure like a fish tank stocking person. Can it run a water pump for light dust control while also driving slowly? Can it give the amperage for a TiG machine? Etc
I am a dairy farmer and I'm waiting to see the Cybertruck. If it doesn't live up to expectations, the Ford will be my next choice. Currently I own an 07 F250 diesel, so electric is looking very attractive right now with $5.50 fuel.
The F150 lightning does have the amperage to run a tig welder. TFL did a review on the Powerboost F150 and it handled it without issue. The lightning output is the same.
@@gregkelly2145 this truck will probably be great if you never leave the farm and, able to use the 40-90k dollar as a tax write off.

Has a 30amp 240v plug in the bed through pro power onboard. So it should be able to run anything which can run off a 30amp 240v plug.
Electric trucks are terrible. The battery will die sooner then later if you put it in a work truck. Pulling, payload, off road. All of that will strain the battery faster. Lose your charge quicker and the battery wont hold charge because of, the excess heating from over use and charging.
Based on 20 yrs of battery construction tools and machine usage.
This is the coolest electric truck ever! There are so many features. I’m excited to see all the new electric vehicles there will be in the future!
Nope GMC Hummer ev is the coolest of them all inside-out but is sold-out too expensive, then Rivian is second cooler so since i already did order it, so..i'll keep my reservation for the R1T i just learn from presentation that the Ford is more affordable yes but that is about it because inside-out Rivian has better quality which is a strong decision factor in my case since i will spend a good amount of time in it daily..
True, the EV Hummer is pretty cool! I’d love to get an EV but I don’t currently have the money for one. Hope you like your Rivian!
@@tacomakid3533 I don't have the money either so making my own ev.
My current F150 is 9 years old and I'm in construction. Other than air conditioning I've never had an issue.
I'm very interested in making the Lighting my next truck.
I am blown away by all the usable technology. Very cool.
I was a Tesla guy myself. But after i watched your Rivian videos, I loved it. Than after i watched your Hummer EV video, i want it desperately too. And now this F-150 Lightning. I can't watch this, i'm afraid.
I’m still on board with the CyberTruck, but Ford was definitely pretty on point with this truck - I think they’re going to sell a crap ton of them and nothing could be better for the market than that. Well done, Ford!
Is the cybertruck ever going to materialize? And ford was on point because ford had been building trucks for around a century, and they know what people want unlike Tesla and Rivian (and don’t get me wrong I do like both companies) have more of an approach of this is what we think people want, your comment makes it seem as though ford built something completely new but in reality they just stuck electric motors into what has been their best seller for decades, this is one reason why I think the traditional car companies are going to dominate the market in the long run because they already know how to make cars where as Rivian and Tesla and the other EV exclusive companies basically had to learn to build a car first and it shows, your traditional companies are what is going to bring electric vehicles mainstream
Looks like a fantastic truck! When are they coming to the UK!
This is the truck I have been waiting for. I love my 05 Ram. The power, the capability, the sheer fun of a v8, the taking $175 out of my pocket every week I can do without.
If the Cybertruck could actually deliver 500 miles a charge I might still go with the Ford. I know I can get a plow for winter, a grill guard and every other accessory I want on it, since it is just a “normal” truck. Can’t say the same for the Tesla.
For the price it falls where the normal trucks do which is amazing.
6:33 AND! this is why dealerships HATEEEEEE electric car customers.
Great overview of the truck! I can't wait for my reservation to be available.
one wheel looses traction it would stop spinning. Rear lock on and the tire won't stop and just mimic the opposite tire.
Again! Another awesome review.
New to the channel, very cool. Ground clearence looks really tight though.
I personally really enjoy this EV truck, I do not want to imply other manufacturers do not do this...but ford really nailed creating an EV truck that keeps its original design, adds cool factors and provides a ton of practicality and real world use scenarios. And competitively priced. well done ford.
Why? Over 70% of the initial reservations are from non Ford or f series owner's. That means it's selling because it's a full size ev truck and NOT because it's a full size ev truck that also looks just like the current f-150s do. 🤔
I compare this to my 2019 f-150 and wish it had more to differentiate it visually tbh. Maybe once the next gen ground up lightning coming in 2025 from the new blue oval city in TN arrives(farley claimed that one could be considered as controversial in appearance.
That one could be the 15th new Ford I've owned since 2010 and my first ever Ford ev. I want a regular cab rwd with 250+miles of range for around 35k with a 6.5' bed please Ford. 😁
They didn't nail the reliablity part 🤣
They killed it with the Frunk. As someone who swears by the Cybertruck, the F150L is an amazing vehicle
It needs a small APU on board to charge the battery pack. Ford did a great job applying all that technology and engineering, looks like a pretty cool package.
As a current 2018 F150 owner, this is truly my dream truck. I love my 3.5L EcoBoost, but I’d trade it in a heartbeat.
My favorite thing about the F-150 lightning is that it is a truck, that just so happens to be an EV.
I don't even like such trucks, but this is a multi tasking beast!!! So awesome!
And great video love all the electric vehicle videos
After everything i've seen I'd have to give it Ford, under 40k with all those features, they definitely dominate the the e-truck segment at the moment.
That rear tailgate step has that yellow pole to the left of it so you can use it as a handle to step up btw!
Awesome review for an awesome truck. I purchased a 2021 F350 with the 7.3. I may switch to the lightning since the range is pretty close.
I'm honestly impressed by the time and effort you put into these videos, Keep it up!💛
It is cool to see this stuff coming out but there is deffinatly a lot of questions to be answered. Like what is the range when towing, or worse driving or towing in cold weather? I live in Canada and -20 c is a normal winter thing and towns 100 or more KM's apart is normal. Also where is the power to charge coming from? Solar works great in some places but not everywhere and I see substantial upgrades to our power infrastructure being required to make EV's a reality. And a 20k solar array to charge an 90k truck would buy a lot of gasoline for a regular truck. Also being capable of recycling batteries at end of life and being financially viable are two different things. I am not trying to discount the benefits or be a stick in the mud, like I said I really like the idea however I still see many questions to be really thoroughly answered still...
I share your concerns. The range that is given by Ford is under optimum conditions with the biggest battery upgrade. The cold weather will really cut into the range without question. If you are regularly towing, usually a half ton isn't what you are going to need anyway, unless the trailer is smaller. In the long run, they are going to have to really increase the capacity of the electrical grid as well as public charging stations if these are going to be practical. That is for EVs in general. The one final red flag for this vehicle is the amount of energy it requires to charge. It is really cool that you could power your house for 3 days on a charge, but that also means it will require 3 days worth of household electricity use to charge this unit up! If you are driving a lot and require daily overnight charging, that is a lot of power! If half of the people on your block started to do this, there is no way the electrical grid could accommodate it. I don't doubt that this is an amazing machine, and would love to try one, but I just still see a lot of potential problems.
@@JC-vy1bo Unfortunately these issues will start to become more prevalent as we move in this direction. Battery range, charging and cold weather performance will *probably* be resolved or at least vastly improved with new tech such as solid state batteries though in what timeframe is anyones guess. However infrastructure upgrades are a much more costly and long term. It is totally doable I just don't think on the timescale people are expecting (well not at any price they would be willing to pay anyway... almost anything is possible with enough money) And generating the electricity is another problem all on it's own especially when people want to get an electric car AND move to heat pumps in their house and electric hot water... That is a lot of demand especially in areas that already have problems with brown outs and black outs due to insufficient grid power available...
Another feature of the step at the tailgate is the integrated pole that pops out and up to give you something to hold on to while you climb in the back.
Sinceramente os tengo envidia sana a los norteamericanos por producir y poder vender estos vehículos tan impresionantes. Si yo viviera allá, lo compraria sin dudar. Aquí nuestros gobernantes regulan, fiscalizan o directamente prohíben toda innovación.
Greetings from Spain 🇪🇸! Nice vid!
Theoretically, if you can drive to a nearby city/town that does still have power, you could charge the truck there and have power at home every day.
Yes. But it is unlikely that a power outage will be that strongly isolated. But hypothetically, yes
@@elliotolson5335 not during the nor easter storms we have all winter in Maine. ;) Our grid is very segregated. We have streets where opposite sides of the street are fed by different lines.
@@MagentaRV and yet somehow, I always seem to live on the wrong side...
@@MagentaRV huh. That is interesting. As for charging. You would need to have neighbors or charging stations in town that have the compatible chargers. Which may not be as accessible as Tesla superchargers are
@@elliotolson5335 But Tesla is opening up their network to other EVs. Impressive.
Yes, Ford can ramp up production of the truck. But what remains to be seen for Ford, GM, Rivian, etc. Is whether they can ramp battery production. This would include raw material availability. As I understand it, Tesla has a lock on much of the raw materials and they are fully manufacturing their new cells in-house. There is a lot of catch up to do, I'm afraid.
Ford claims to have locked up contacts for the batterys for the next few years to produce 150k a year, and in 2025 ford's new battery plants in Tennessee and Kentucky are supposed to come online and be able to produce enough for 2 million EVs by 2026. We'll see if they hit those numbers but if they do they should be in great shape
Rivian will not suffer since all brand batteries stacks along with other electrical components are made in china thru the brand partnerships (it was explained by none other than Sandy Munro he was working in his youth at Ford as quality inspector also since he has just got a Rivian for himself since last year so he definitely knows everything about it inside-out..)
"Yes, Ford can ramp up production of the truck."
No. They can't. These complainace "trucks" use 1,700 chips (while a proper ICE F-150 uses about 200). Ford is already parking these fake Lightnings at the Dearborn test track because of lack of chips.
Wonderful report
when I start driving, I plan to get an EV as my daily driver and a mustang(because gas powered cars are good and something that still will be here for a long time), and I'm thinking this f-150 lightning might be it, especially with how much better future models will be in 2 years when I am old enough to get my license, I appreciate your review Zack
Important note:
Fast, faster, fastest - describes speed, (top speed, higher end speed.)
Quick, quicker, quickest - describes acceleration, (reaching a speed in a time)
When you say "fastest truck" it means it has highest top speed.
"Quickest truck" it means it goes to speed X (ie: 60mph) in the shortest time
bruh stop
very impressive, love that idea for backup household power
Texas 2021 V-Day approved. 😀
amigo te sigo hace un par de años y te felicito por tu trabajo, admiro lo que haces y la forma de explicarlo, esta en ingles pero trato de entenderlo, lamentablemente el sistema de youtube no me deja traducirlo ojala puedas ver la forma de que podamos verlo en español ya que seguramente obtendrás más seguidores😉👌
As a add on , just some other cool things on the F150 , back seat like a couch massive wide , massive legroom , loads of light into back seat area for high visibility. Pass thru window im back window , for a variety of uses , pets , long items , communication with passengers in the bed. Cool camera system for reversing , blended images . Fold down completely flat front seats cool for napping on overnight jobs/adventures/courting. Surround lights to illuminate the outside of the truck as you work around it preventing injury or the need to carry a torch. A simple thing but a super useful feature the powered tailgate up and down saving time and being convenient.
You have shown us all related to different terrain but river crossing and ability to stand the water you havent mentioned.
How this truck can stand floods and how can they be repaired after…
We need this peace of trial from Ford
I probably won’t buy an EV for another 5 years or so, due to living in an apartment with no chargers, but I absolutely LOVE this truck and want one so bad. The fact that this looks like a regular F150 makes it infinitely better than any other EV.
Hopefully by the time I’m ready to buy one, they’ll figure out how to get more range and faster charging speeds for the battery. I actually have money for one saved up, and if I had a house that I could charge in my driveway, I’d no doubt have pre ordered one.
I was gonna order a regular F150 with the hybrid engine, the max recline seats and the foldable work space to hold me over for a few years, but ford ridiculously omitted the max recline seats option for anything lower than the platinum/king ranch trims, which is trash.
You cannot speed charge the batteries at this time .The batteries at this time are not able to be fast charged they will exploide
That is fantastic thanks
Beautiful and amazing engineering
Back in the day we drove Beastie trucks and maneuvered them like Champs. No Garbage...we needed nothing but Skill.
Rivian: "look at our truck"
Ford: "b*tch please"
Zack: "hold my beer.."
Ford (years ago) "buy into Rivian!.... See what tech we can "borrow" then pull out!"
Absolutely love the recent electronic vehicle space competition
SUVs and trucks are the perfect platform for hybrid and BEV technology. They already can handle the extra weight of EV components, no interference with interior space or cabin configuration, much better weight distribution, and electric only range is similar to V-8 versions. Being able to charge at home and have the ability to use the Ford as a whole house battery back up would be my #1 reason for getting this vehicle when I need to replace my hybrid SUV or hybrid sedan.
The one thing I see as an issue with the charge port location is that scrub rails will need to be, well, heavily modified or just not added. See quite a few here in Australia running Tuff 5 post bullbars and dual 3" scrub rails down the side.
Edit: Spelling
Edit: The reason why scrub rails are big here isn't actually scrub. It's Kangaroos, they're more nimble than deer, and they either hit dead centre at the front, or jump into the front guards.
Yeah, the only rails you see in the US are on hardcore, highly modified 4x4s.
@@gzahnd cool story 🤷♂️
So literally no one ever puts them on to protect from deer or other wildlife?
Or the wayward offspring of a Karen opening her door into your car?
@@chris_scott Yeah mate. Scrub bars are super common in Oz, and you almost never see them here - super rare. Not sure why that is.
@@gzahnd yeah right, I think mine have done more for protecting my car in carparks than they've done anything else.
As well as Deer and Kangaroos.
@@chris_scott haha, makes sense. My modded 200 Series has bull bar, rock sliders, and rear a rear bar, and that keeps most Karens at bay. And deer, elk, moose, and all the other giant animals we have here in Colorado.
After watching your videos on all three trucks I have to say I like the Ford the best. The Rivian was a front runner until I saw what ford did. For me it's the fact that the Ford tier is still under the truck. That allows us to still mount a fifth wheel hook up. I also like that it looks like every other F-150. But the Final thing that made it my got to truck is that it is full size. I'm a large man and I no longer like compact vehicles.
Same, full sized all the way.
Wow brother Thank You . Now I want one
Because I appreciate the technical side of this channel, I would like to recommend not to use the 12V battery for jumpstart (4:12). In hybrid and electric cars, the 12V battery is usually small and the peak current not suitable for jumpstarting an ICE only handling the low voltage systems. This would damage the battery and shorten its lifespan. Also the inverter that generates the 12V from the big battery is not design for jumpstart peak current and it has a current limit fuse that can fail.
Since you appreciate technical details...is not an inverter it is a buck converter that takes 400v DC to 12v DC- also called an accessory power module.
Im just waiting on the re-match between ford and tesla's cyber truck once tesla gets to deliver one.
Tesla is way to much behind!Its game over for Tesla!
I pray everyday ford will sell this truck in Australia. Number 1 truck of all electric trucks for sure, it does everything without being most powerful etc ford is a honest company they seem they care bout there customers.
This vid makes me want the Lightning even more. I've been on the reservation list since last year and keep wishing that some-day I will get the call.
I would like to see which truck holds up the best. All the fancy motor to lift the tailgate and steering column seems like a issue waiting to happen. I would love to see a more barebones vehicle that is electric to bring the price down. Like take the basic F150 and electrify it. I think this would bring down the cost. Same thing with a barebones Tesla. Do we really need to go 0-60 in under 4 secs for a base model. I like the look of the Rivian, but the lack of tech it brings is concerning. especially for the price. Tesla's self driving is way more advanced than anyone's out there, so even though the truck is ugly (subjective), the tech is way above par. I would really like to see Honda or Toyota to make an Electric truck since they are known for their reliability. Even a Hybrid truck at this state would be entertaining to see.
Overall I think many, (if not most) truck owned have the need/want for towing. and if the idea that to tow something will deplete the range closed to half, then they are no interested. A hybrid would allow for this extended range. Just my 2 cents.
The base pro doesn't have the powered tailgate and is essentially the base f150 xl but with a nicer XLT interior. The base pro starts at 40k but the base ICE XL with 4x4 fx4 (which Ford says every lightning has) and crew cab costs 46770, and the lightning is even cheaper when you factor in the 7500 tax credit
@@mikefarino4368 Thanks, good to know. I wonder what the time frame on delivering the lower end version will be? I know the Model 3 was promoted to be a ~$30K car but the only ones that were being delivered/built was the $60k ones.( at least at first). I just hope that they can emphasis on both higher and lower tiered models and not just promote that they have a lower model but will not be able to deliver it in a timely fashion.
@@chrisarnone7896 Ford is supposedly starting delivery with the pro, but it's going to be less than 10% of the production. Unfortunately with battery costs being so high currently Ford is probably losing a bit or just barely breaking even on the pro model.
Sweet truck! Great video! I like the Hummer most (price aside) but the price of the F-150 is much more affordable!
the 9" clearance is a little bit of a concern for me....great vid.
