Video Summary
Okay, here is the summary of the YouTube video review about the 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning:- The model in this review is a 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning Lariat equipped with an extended-range battery and 20-inch tires.
- The extended-range battery pack was at 100 percent.
- For standardized range tests, follow the same highway course to compare electric vehicles "trip to trip," and that's what the presenter is doing.
- There are some factors outside of my control, such as temperatures.
- In the Rivian R1T 70-mph highway range test, the wind was 14 to 15 mph, which impacted the range, so a low-wind environment is desirable.
- Starting temperature for the F-150 70-mph highway test was 73 degrees (F), in the lower 70's.
- At 75% state of charge we drove 73 miles, which was further than expected.
- At the 50% state of charge, we drove 142 miles.
- The reviewer's long 70 mph test concluded at a .1mi/kwh.
- The reviewer drove at a constant 70 mph.
- The end results of this 70mph highway range test: The average of 2.1 mile per kilowatt-hour and, in the highway configuration, it got around 270 miles overall.
- This is more than usual than the rivian R1T.
- This model has a combined EPA range rating of 320 miles.
- The EPA broke out the city and highway EPA range rating. City has a 350 miles. The highway rating is 283 miles.
- In this specific car, to be sure there is great ranger: the tire pressure set to manufacture specified pressure. This is 42 pounds per square inch. The Climate controls set between 68 and 70. And closing the panoramic roof's sunshade.
- The reviewer found that It just feels that its super comfortable, quite and is a great highway cruiser with handfree.
- For these trucks with extended range batteries, they come standard with the 80 amp "Ford Pro" charging station ($1310 if you purchase separately).
- The owner will use Qmerit to do the install for the 80 amp Pro Charge station.
- He wants folks to know that it can be expensive to install and highly encourages everyone who has never done it before to ask around for multiple quotes.
- At the end, this one had to be push but with this review its still fantastic.
- The depleted battery indicator appears when it is at 0 miles and with two-mile buffer, asking you to "stop safely now."
