775ft/lb is incredible, what's not to like about this? Aside from not making noise, if these things can pull a trailer and have decent range, leave the noise and smell to the car on the trailer.
My only gripe is F150 Lightnings weren't 4 doors. Sorta like when Ram slapped a few stickers on a standard 1500 and called it a Warlock.

It won't have range. And charging at home will require special electrical that will suck a lot of amps & be expensive. If your power goes out, you are dead in the water.

That's one Lightning that won't get a second glance like the original does. If I owned a real Lightning I'd be pissed. "Over-the-air updates will keep the Lightning’s software current". Right on, Programmed to Fail worse than things already are now. That'll come in handy when you are in the middle of nowhere and the timer inside it decides to shut down until an "update" is done. Props to Ford for beating Tesla to market with an electric truck.

It is probably the most usefull electric vehicle yet. There is so many contractors that just drive to a jobsite each day and don't leave. They would also have all the power options to run tools etc. My Neighbor is a carpenter and he would buy one these tomorrow I am sure if he didn't just buy a gas F150.

I gotta say I would rather NOT listen to a generator all day.
Don't get me wrong, I am not going to buy one lol but I could see where it would be useful.

The article I read indicated 330 miles of range for the high capacity version. Not bad at all.

The article I read indicated 330 miles of range for the high capacity version. Not bad at all. I saw that but even without driving one I can guarantee that it won't go 330 miles on the freeway at freeway speeds. The mfgs over rate the range by assuming a "mix" of driving. I don't know if any of this stuff is standardized yet like it is with mileage ratings for gas powered cars but I'm sure it will be shortly. From what I can tell by driving electric cars, the quoted range is determined by driving the car at roughly 35 or 40 miles per hour on flat roads. As soon as you get over 65 mph, or start driving up hills, the actual range plummets. My guess is that the range is only good for about 200 miles at 70 mph.

And 50 miles actually using that 775 lb ft towing a trailer??

And 50 miles actually using that 775 lb ft towing a trailer?? My Cummins and Cat in a medium duty would do pretty well empty, the Cummins ~ 20 MPG, the Cat in an FL Freightliner ~ 14 MPG, load 'em up heavy and it dropped to ~ 6.5, 6.8. Watts are watts, there's watt ratings on both those Diesels, I just don't know what they are, use more watts and the range drops badly. The Cummins loaded needed a fill up ~ 200 miles loaded w/ a 35 gallon tank. Kinda bizarre watching the gauge drop a 1/4 every 50 miles. I presume the electric motor range would suffer similarly. Guessing roughly 1/3 the unloaded range? Gonna make a long day towing anything. edit: FWIW, the Cat had 660 torque, the Cummins dyno'd at 800 torque. Yes, the Dodge handily out pulled the Freightliner. But the FL was bulletproof, never broke the trans. I broke the trans and the GearVendors in the Dodge, twisted off the input shaft, broke the case in half on the GV in Kentucky. NOT fun hearing trans pieces skittering down the highway at midnight.

My wife has a 2001 Lightning. The new version is nothing more than a badge on a modern vehicle. Kinda like a Charger, never made a 4 door til they brought the name back. Seems auto makers go back and see what names/models sold in the day and slap that badge on a new design hoping it help sales. I dont think the new one is supposed to have anything to do with the old one, like a 2000's malibu. Just a name that fits the electric thing. Fords performance truck is the raptor these days I also fully expect Dodge to do the same thing with the charger but they'll keep it a performance oriented electric with good styling
