Owning a Ford F-150 Lightning Electric Truck | 3-Year Review

Uploaded 1 month ago by Edmunds Cars

Video Summary

Here's the requested summary of the YouTube video:

The F-150 Lightning has impressive acceleration and is fun to drive. It's the best F-150 model for towing, providing a quiet and torquey experience. When towing, entering trailer specs into the infotainment screen adjusts the range calculation for better accuracy.  The side mirrors are also better for towing than the Rivian R1T. The long-range battery allows 345 miles on a single charge, exceeding the EPA estimate, although newer competitors offer even more range. The outlets in the truck bed provide extra utility. The center console table is useful, but the tilt could be awkward. The truck's extra weight makes it feel wobbly over bumps at highway speeds and makes it jerky to reverse with one-pedal driving engaged. Towing significantly reduces the range. The truck's overall price is now worth around half its purchase price. With recalls, the F-150 Lightning had a better maintenance and repair experience. It still retains some old school pickup truck character and is not just a lifestyle vehicle. Despite a preference for the hybrid, it's recommended. There were seven recalls for the vehicle, none too costly. The Ford F-150 Lightning is also the Edmonds Best Electric Truck Award recipient.
