Instead of designing a new truck from the ground up, Ford modified the company's bestselling F-150 to accept an electric powertrain. Smart. That allowed Ford to beat the competition with a truck that feels conventional and cutting-edge at the same time. And potential buyers have been gobbling them up. The base models now offer 240 miles of range. Not bad. But for many, it makes sense to pony up for the long-range battery pack, which delivers 320 miles. On a typical Level 2 charger at home, the extended-range battery takes 19 hours to go from 15% to 100%. Every F-150 Lightning is four-wheel drive and has a four-wheel independent suspension for a smooth ride.

When it comes to work, the Lightning keeps up with its gas-powered brethren. The long-range Lightning can tow 7,700 pounds and haul 1,952 pounds in its crew cab short bed (the only configuration available). However, towing a heavy trailer will dramatically shorten the Lightning's driving range. If long-distance towing trips are a part of your truck's duties, and you don't want to wait around for the battery to charge, a conventional gas F-150 might be a better choice.

Drive a Lightning, and you'll be shocked at how quick it is. Ford says these trucks can reach 60 mph in a tick over 4 seconds. That's quicker than a Ford Mustang GT. It can be outfitted with the same safety and tech features as any gas-powered F-150. Plus, the Lightning's battery pack can export power to electrical devices and even your house.

New electric trucks are launching every year. We already have the GMC Hummer EV and Rivian R1T. Soon GM will be offering its Chevrolet Silverado EV as well as a second truck from GMC. The Hummer is more expensive than the Lightning. The Rivian is a bit more sophisticated and capable off-road, but it costs more, is hard to get, and has a slightly smaller cargo hold. Right now, the Lightning offers the best combination of traits for most buyers.
