I wish I would or ordered one of these instead of an 22 raptor. maybe I would have a truck by now.

I’d be all over this new lightning of towing mileage was better. Eventually it will be.

Such a pretty cool EV. It’s the only EV that excites me.

Is this the test... Against an ICE GMC Sierra?

Ford Lightning Towing Test Shows Serious Problems

It didn’t do well going up against a gas-burning GMC Sierra…

I was just reading that last night. Definitely not a towing truck. They also brought up a good point about how the charging stations aren’t set up for a vehicle that is towing something because of how they are laid out.

Guess it’ll only be good enough for the buyers of the 75% of trucks that never even get a towing ball installed in their lifetime.

shhhhh don't say that they don't want their feelings hurt.

75% is probably pretty low.

75% is probably pretty low.

Even so, you need to account for the people who are dead set on getting a truck just because it could tow if they put a ball in it and wouldn’t buy an EV because it wouldn’t be as good at something they’ll never do.

Like all those non-stop cross country trips people don’t take but claim they could if they wanted to

My Colorado in under 20k miles has probably towed more than thr majority of 1/2 tons will laughably.

Most of these would consider a case of beer a heavy load.

Out of the 98k I put on my ram in 5 years, 680 miles were towing something, that was all ?

But I did road trip the shit out of it.

Trailer Ready​ Unlike most chargers, Rivian Adventure Network sites are designed for bigger vehicles, and many locations will offer pull-throughs so you don’t have to maneuver or unhitch your trailer.​

I was actually surprised to see one of these EV F150s today in traffic, a blue one.

More of a “f u” to ford for the articles complaining about not having the right layout for pulling a trailer and charging.

We skipped this year but typically we do a 2K+ mile RV trip and this one has a couple under its belt at this point. Not to mention the move up to Wisconsin that was a more than a couple trailer runs as well.
