Last month, on the coldest day recorded in Boulder, CO in 123 years, the new F-150 Lightning set out to prove that it tows just fine.
) Ford F-150 Lightning pickup is, Ford hasn’t decided to play up its green credentials or astonishing 0-60 mph performance as much as many thought they would. Instead, Ford’s electric and hybrid trucks are presented as work trucks, with electrification allowing them to out-work their internal-combustion stablemates on the jobsite. And now, Ford is proving that its electric pickup can outwork its gas trucks on the road, too. Especially when it comes to towing.
Between the two locations, their steep continuous inclines, expressway speeds, and trailers in tow – in this case the truck’s targeted maximum 10,000 lbs. – makes them extremely grueling for gas, diesel, and electric trucks alike. The two testing trips are examples of the hundreds of hours of rigorous towing testing the all-new F-150 Lightning has endured during development, and speak to one of the most commonly uttered “objections” to electric vehicles.
