Like the truck's exterior, the F-150 Lightning's cabin is much the same as the gasoline-powered F-150 with a few key differences such as an extra-large infotainment display and a voluminous front-trunk cargo bay. For more information about the F-150 Lightning's fuel economy, visit the EPA's website. During our time with the Lightning Platinum, we observed just 54 MPGe. The EPA has rated the F-150 Lightning Extended-Range for up to 78 MPGe city and 63 MPGe highway the Standard-Range models are slightly less efficient at 76 MPGe city and 61 MPGe highway.

Ford also engineered the F-150 Lightning to serve as a backup generator and says a fully-charged truck can supply up to three days of electricity for the average household in the event of a power outage. Buyers will be able to charge their F-150 Lightnings at home via 110- and 220-volt outlets but the truck is also capable of juicing at public DC fast-charging stations, and Ford says it can charge from 15 percent to 80 percent of battery capacity in 44 minutes. During our 75-mph highway range test, the Lightning Platinum managed 230 miles of range.

With the smaller 98.0-kWh battery, Ford claims a driving range of 230 miles per charge upgrading to the larger 131.0-kWh pack boosts the driving range to 320 miles. During our tow test pulling a 6100-pound double-axle camping trailer, the range of our Lightning Platinum dropped to just 100 miles at 70 mph, which was 200 miles short of its unladen EPA estimate. Payload capacity is as high as 2000 pounds for the Standard-Range model and as low as 1800 pounds for the Extended-Range. Standard-Range battery models are limited to a 7700-pound capacity. The official maximum towing capacity of the production model is a mere 10,000 pounds, but only trucks with the optional Extended-Range battery are capable of such feats.

If anything, the Lightning's ride-and-handling are slightly more agreeable, thanks to a lower center of gravity that helps keep body roll in check and independent rear suspension in place of the gas model's less sophisticated solid rear axle. Not only were we pleased with the Lightning's, ahem, lightning-quick acceleration but we were also pleasantly surprised that it managed to maintain the normal F-150's refined road manners.

The Lightning Platinum we tested reached 60 mph in a scant 4.0 seconds and covered a quarter-mile in 12.7 seconds at 107 mph. Performance is impressive for a truck this heavy. With the Standard-Range battery, the motors combine to make 452 horsepower but with the Extended-Range battery the horsepower rating rises to 580 peak torque is an impressive 775 pound-feet with either setup.
