Quieter but more capable, quicker but more efficient, clever yet familiar, the 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning eases the transition from gas and diesel to electric simply by being a damn good truck. Review --

The 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning strikes at the core of what a pickup truck has been and what it can become. The battery electric version of America’s longtime bestselling vehicle doesn’t reinvent the truck. Yet it makes the truck better in every way.

The latest motor calibrations boosted power from 563 to 580 hp with the big pack, and from 426 to 452 hp with the standard pack. Regardless of pack, torque remains a whopping 775 lb-ft, more than any other F-150. It’s inconceivably quick, shooting from 0-60 mph in an estimated mid-four second range despite its boxy F-150 proportions and an estimated 6,590-lb curb weight. That’s lighter than the smaller Rivian R1T, and a featherweight compared to the 9,000+ lb GMC Hummer EV heavyweight.

Oh, the frunk. Every Ford rep referencing the Mega Power frunk sounded like they attended a master class in Mega Power branding. It’s pretty cool in real life, too. Because the hood dips down to the bumper, loading or unloading it with items from a Costco run or the worksite is easier than putting it in the bed or the cab. And it’s secure, so no need to fret over a tonneau cover. It can store 14.1 cubic feet—wide enough to house two sets of golf clubs—and carry 400 lb.
