After experiencing the Ford Lighting in Park City Utah I can confidently say that I will never own one. Which is actually quite disappointing because I saw huge potential in Fords all electric pick up truck. However, it has less to do with the truck its self and more to do with EV technology as a whole. With poor access to super charger stations, long charge times and battery sapping cold temperatures I felt like our entire schedule was built around keeping the electric truck topped off on power. The range would drop so drastically while snow wheeling that I worried we would become stranded. I have to say that the truck its self was also a bit funky. Everything is run off of the huge screen on the center console which sounds nice in theory but it never seemed to work like we wanted it to and it was a pain to navigate through all the settings to make adjustments or turn on the rear locker. It has no low gear for careful crawling and we kept getting hung up on small mounds of snow due to the trucks independent rear suspension. But despite everything the truck does have incredible torque and power with instant pedal response that left you feeling a bit nauseous after punching it. It was every comfortable and luxurious inside and ford took the time to add awesome features like bed scales, power outlets and a cooler compartment in the frunk for beer. The Ford lightning might make a perfect vehicle for regular folks who commute to work during the week and pack lawn care supplies and groceries home on the weekend, but serious adventurers beware of this truck, keeping it charged is harder than you think!
