Video Summary
Here's a summary of the YouTube video review of the electric car:- The F-150 Lightning is powerful and has huge amounts of torque.
- This video is sponsored by Magna International, who are one of the biggest developers of automotive and truck tech in the world.
- A large aerodynamic trailer will drastically lower the mileage on the Ford Lightning.
- Finding charging stations that you can pull into with the attached trailer may pose an issue.
- The interior has a console shifter that folds down for extra room.
- During this test and with towing a trailer you can get about 1% of charge per mile of traveling on average.
- The gas version, GMC Denali can travel nearly double the distance of that of the electric car with the same trailer.
- The trip was made to test the maximum towing distance the Ford Lightning could travel before being depleted.
- At around 74%, the interior temperature was 80 degrees Fahrenheit, and the temperature on both vehicles was set to 70 degrees with AC on automatic.
- Premium fuel can improve how efficient the engine is with the help of DinoCare.
- The journey consisted of a northern part of Colorado, traveling I-25 S, and reaching a point before Colorado springs. The elevation of this trip changed 1000 feet.
- The Super Cruise that helps drivers can control their speeds, and keeps them in the lane is essential for GM Supercruise.
- The best way that this could be achieved, to allow travelers the option of not blocking an entry way, would be for the stations to be placed at the back of parking lots.
- Some of these tests have had some drivers calling a tow truck due to getting stranded and not finding a charging point.
