Full Screen is not supported on this browser version.Sitting in the cab at the wheel for the first time, all the sensory inputs are that you are sitting in an F-150 pickup truck. Until you press the accelerator.
Back on the pavement, and depending on the battery pack, zero-to-100-km/h sprints are in the four- to five-second range.There is no manual regenerative braking system, and the only way the regen gets set is depending on which drive mode is selected: Normal, Sport, Tow, or Off-Road. Regen is most pronounced in Tow mode.
One interesting bit of towing tech is the available Onboard Scales, which use the truck’s sensors to estimate payload and tell you how much you’re hauling. The F-150 Lightning also debuts available Pro Trailer Hitch Assist, which automatically controls steering, throttle, and brake inputs to assist in hitching a trailer. Onboard Scales is integrated with Intelligent Range to help ensure F-150 Lightning gives an accurate estimate of how far you can go.
Which leads us back to that opening reference to the tragic events during a winter storm in Texas last year. Power was out for hundreds of thousands of people for seven days, resulting in hundreds of deaths and billions of dollars in damages. If that happens again, and you own an extended-range Lightning and the Home Integration System, you’ll be able to draw power from your truck to power your home.
