But if you're a truck owner who tows infrequently or only for short distances, the F-150 Lightning will serve your needs well. That drawback is common among EV pickup trucks, and rivals such as the GMC Hummer EV SUT and the Rivian R1T don't fare any better. The EPA-estimated driving range varies between 230 miles with the base battery to 320 miles with the larger one, but towing a trailer quickly depletes the battery and requires frequent stops to charge. With the larger Extended-Range battery, the powertrain makes a whopping 580 horsepower, and with it the Lightning blasted to 60 mph in just 4.0 seconds at our test track. All models come with two electric motors juiced by either of two battery packs. Inside and out, the Lightning looks like other F-150s-though it's totally different underneath, of course.
Otherwise, the Lightning delivers just about everything the regular F-150 does in a package that is close to a mirror image. But floor the accelerator and you'll know that the Lightning is not your standard gasoline-powered F-150 the electric motors' instant, massive torque slams you into the seat as if you got run into from behind by a Peterbilt. With the tunes pounding you wouldn't notice the absence of the gasoline engine's sound. Turn the volume up on the 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning's audio system and you might well miss that this pickup truck is powered by electricity.
