5 Things I love About Towing With The F-150 Lightning

Published 2024-06-26
Sure, there's electric truck towing challenges in certain circumstances. But there are a ton of reasons and countless applications where the F150 Lightning tows like a champ! With Hitch Assist, Max Tow Trailer Package, Pro Trailer Assist, and seemingly unlimited torque and power, to overlook this electric pickup as your next camping, RV-ing, daily chore, boat-hauling, base camp go-to might have you missing out on changes already happening in all of those scenarios!

    I just picked up my new Silverado 4WT ev and I can't stop smiling. I haven't towed with it yet, but that's the main job I bought it for. I'm in Port Moody and hoping to visit the Kootenays in the fall. I'll keep you posted on how my new journey is going. It was your video about your Lightning that got me out looking for something other than the CyberTruck, so thank you so much. I love the channel and your outlook on life.

    Live in New Denver and we watched this video. Helped us decide on getting a Lightning. Keep it up

    Hitch assist! I had no idea it would do that! Damn… I guess I’m going to have finally give in and read the manual. ❤
  • That Pro Trailer Assist would really mess with me. 😧 As someone that has been backing up horse trailers (started with a four-horse bumper-pull) since she was 10, that would be a huge retraining. I do not think I would like it, but having seen other people really struggle, I could see the general benefit.
  • I have a 2023 lightning standard range battery I pull a 5000 pound trailer and it basically gets half the mileage which is great because I always have enough battery to get back home… It’s the best Truck ever
  • Recently checked out the Lightnings at our local dealer in Hawkesbury, Ontario. When I pulled in and parked to do a walk around ( without a bothersome sales person), I saw that they had 5 parked in a row .... all presented prominently near the road. I found 1 xlt with a $69,000 price tag on it..... all of the rest were $80,000 and up over $100,000. I went in and found a sales person and talked for a bit. He said that the xlt was sold, but he could find another easily. They had one Pro in awhile ago and it sold in 2 hours. Still too much, but I have the advantage that my current 2012 Ram is still running great.✌.

    That car in Australian dollars here is ...Prices for the Lightning start from $224,990 before on-road costs for the Standard Range, and rise to $254,990 plus on-road costs for the top-spec Extended Range.22 Apr 2024
  • Another great video! Hey, have you heard anything of the ‘24 lightnings being any more efficient or charging any better/worse with the heat pump?
