The Ford F-150 Lightning was named MotorTrend’s 2023 Truck of the Year on Tuesday, making it the second electric pickup in a row to win that award

. MotorTrend’s panel of judges lauded the F-150 Lightning as “the best-riding, best-handling, and best-driving F-150 yet.” Unlike other versions of the F-150, the Lightning has independent rear suspension instead of a solid axle connecting the back wheels. That tends to make for a smoother ride and better handling in curves. The Lightning is also very powerful.

Electric trucks are great for towing because they can easily handle even very heavy trailers, Loh said, but pulling that weight reduces driving range before the truck needs to recharge. “It’s similar to how fuel economy plummets in a gas or diesel pickup when towing a heavy trailer, but the difference is the robust, pervasive fueling infrastructure that supports all gas-powered vehicles,” said Loh.

But it's crap...lol

If you hall around 3200lbs you’ll only get around 1:45 min of drive time. 🤣

Considered electric this year. Changed my mind because the infrastructure doesn’t exist yet. Until charging is as convenient as gas, EVs will remain unpopular in the 90% of America that isn’t a large city. Also, these are next to useless in the back country.

Just don't try to haul with it.

Dang how much can it tow/haul
