The 2022 F-150 Lightning is at once both futuristic and familiar. It has loads of modern technology features and yet it might be one of the most practical and job site-friendly trucks on sale today. But the Lightning's full-size truck credentials come into question when you want to tow due to modest limits and a severely restricted range.

Overview

The best-selling vehicle in the U.S. for the past 45 years is turning electric. That's right, the 2022 Ford Lightning is here. It starts its life as an F-150 SuperCrew (or crew cab) with a 5.5-foot bed. But instead of a gasoline engine and drivetrain, it has two electric motors and all-wheel drive. The potential benefit of electric power is obvious just from the spec sheet: The Lightning can produce up to 580 horsepower and a massive 775 lb-ft of torque, more torque than any other F-150 currently on sale.

Ford has deliberately designed the Lightning to be recognizable as an F-150, but this hasn't stopped it from using some of the beneficial technology found in other Ford EVs. The 15.5-inch touchscreen on premium models is awash with features, from driving modes to electronic payload scales. The Lightning also offers the F-150's existing Pro Power Onboard feature that consists of household-style electrical plugs that you can use to power tools and other electronic devices. BlueCruise, Ford's hands-free driver assist feature that works on select highways, is offered as well.
Of course, the Lightning is a truck and is expected to do truck things. Properly equipped, the F-150 Lightning has a maximum towing capacity of 10,000 pounds. This is less than the max payload figure for a regular F-150 but still plenty useful. The same could be said for the Lightning's payload figures. You also get a pretty neat front trunk where the regular F-150's engine would normally be.
There are some caveats to utilizing these capacities in real-world situations; check our Expert Rating for our test team's complete evaluation of how the Lightning performs. And there could be reasons for considering the rival Rivian R1T or GMC Hummer EV instead. But overall we're excited about the new F-150 Lighting and think it's a great pick if you want the advantages of an EV combined with pickup truck utility.

8.4
out of 10
We drove the 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.
Performance
8.5/10
How does the F-150 Lightning drive? Of course not every EV, especially a truck, needs to accelerate quicker than many sports cars, but the Lightning does exactly that. We took a Lightning Platinum — this trim comes with the big battery — to our test track and it ripped from 0 to 60 mph in 4 seconds flat and cleared the quarter mile in just 12.7 seconds at a tick over 106 mph. A quad-motor Rivian R1T we tested was a bit quicker than that, but suffice to say the Lightning lives up to its name. We found braking similarly impressive for something so heavy. The Lightning needed only 127 feet to stop from 60 mph, which is about the same as a standard F-150.
Handling isn't the strong suit of any pickup truck, but the Lightning proved friendly and stress-free on both twisty roads and the open highway. We also enjoyed the Lightning's one-pedal driving (a common feature on EVs that allows the driver to both accelerate and brake using only the accelerator pedal). It was both predictable and plenty strong enough that we almost never used the mechanical brakes. As you'd expect, a giant swell of power is just a twitch of your right foot away, but the Lightning never felt jumpy or overpowered and proved just as easy and intuitive to drive as any other EV or any gas-powered F-150.

Comfort
8/10
How comfortable is the F-150 Lightning? The front seats are supportive and can be equipped with heating, ventilation, three-level lumbar adjustment and even a massaging function. The available Max Recline front seats can recline to give you a nearly flat seat to rest or take a nap, but they lack the side bolstering we expect and some of our drivers did find them a bit uncomfortable after a few hours.
The Lightning features a fully independent rear suspension, which delivers a smoother ride and is a definite upgrade from the standard leaf springs on the regular F-150. Road, tire and wind noise is kept to low volumes. Most of the Lightning's electric propulsion sounds are not the least bit obnoxious or overly weird. The climate control system is effective and powerful, requiring little adjustment to maintain your desired temperature.

Interior
9/10
How’s the interior? Much like the standard F-150, the Lightning offers a huge number of available features. Fortunately, the interior layout is intuitive, so you never have to second-guess what you're reaching for. You can adjust most of the truck's big knobs and controls even when you're wearing gloves. We especially like the newest generation of Ford's touchscreen, particularly the 15.5-inch model due to its crisp and uncluttered graphics and quick response times. It also looks great in the cavernous interior of the Lightning.
A wide range of seat, steering wheel and pedal adjustments ensure a fit for drivers of all shapes and sizes. The crew cab's spaciousness means you won't be short on room either. Ample exterior visibility is afforded in part by large windows and a scalloped section in the front door that clears a view around the side mirrors. The optional surround-view camera system provides visibility all the way around too.

The optional surround-view camera system provides visibility all the way around too.
Technology
8.5/10
How’s the tech? The Lightning uses Ford's newest in-car tech to great success. We like the big 15.5-inch center touchscreen that's supported by physical controls, such as a volume knob. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration is present and also wireless (though you can still connect through USB cord). Ford's onboard navigation system is responsive and cleanly designed, but it's not so overly minimalistic like some competitor systems.
The Platinum trim, which is what we tested, includes an excellent 18-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system that creates a rich sound environment. Our test truck also had a comprehensive suite of advanced driver aids including Ford's BlueCruise, a more advanced form of adaptive cruise control, lane centering, blind-spot warning and 360-degree cameras. While BlueCruise isn't available to use on every road, the Lightning's regular adaptive cruise control proved smooth and steady and kept up with traffic flow at all speeds in our testing. And thanks to the Lightning's multitude of high-definition cameras, it's an easy truck to maneuver in tight spaces.
Standard equipment on the Platinum is a host of towing-related features bundled in the Tow Technology package. These features include a built-in scale to help with balancing trailer weight, trailer reversing guidance, and an integrated trailer brake controller, features common to most towing packages on gas- and diesel-powered pickups.

Towing and Storage
8.5/10
How are the towing and storage? Electrifying the venerable F-150 didn't really change how useful it is on a daily basis. Interior storage borders on cavernous, and there's room in both rows for all manner of gear and equipment. The rear seats flip up and feature lockable storage and are bolstered by the Lightning's power-operated front trunk. Boasting 14 cubic feet of storage capacity (that's larger than the trunks of many sedans), including a drain for wet storage, the Lightning might just be the most ideal vehicle for tailgating on sale today. The Rivian R1T might offer more clever storage options but the F-150's are more convenient.
Ford boasts that the Lightning has a maximum towing capacity of 10,000 pounds, but our Platinum test vehicle was limited to just 8,400 pounds thanks to its various options. If you buy a Lightning with the standard battery, that rating drops to 7,700 pounds, which is similar to what you can pull with a midsize truck. It's also worth mentioning that the range of the Lightning drops precipitously when towing and could be as little as 100 miles depending on conditions.
All F-150 Lightnings come with a 5.5-foot bed. You don't have the option of picking a longer bed like on the regular F-150.

Range and Efficiency
7.5/10
How are the range and efficiency? The Ford F-150 Lightning Platinum (which is what we tested) has an EPA-estimated range of 300 miles. The EPA also estimates the truck will use 51 kWh of electricity per 100 miles driven. On paper, these estimates make the Lightning slightly less efficient than the Rivian R1T.
In Edmunds' real-world testing, we managed to drive 332 miles of full charge, easily exceeding the EPA's estimates. During that time our test truck used slightly less electricity than estimated: 45.4 kWh per 100 miles. That bests the results we achieved with a quad-motor Rivian R1T on the same route, which traveled 317 miles and used 46.9 kWh of electricity per 100 miles.
When plugged into a 240-volt home outlet, Ford estimates the Lightning, with its extended-range battery, can be charged from 15% to 100% in 20 hours. When connected to a DC fast charger of around 150 kW, Ford says the Lightning can be charged from 15% to 80% capacity in as little as 41 minutes.

Value
8/10
Is the F-150 Lightning a good value? Our test truck was the top-of-the-line Platinum trim, and it rang in at more than $90,000 as-new. That's definitely a lot of money, but you can spec out a standard F-150 to nearly the same amount. And for added context, it's very easy to option up the smaller Rivian R1T to well over $100K. For all that money, you do get an F-150 Lightning with all the bells and whistles. Build quality and materials are just as good as they are on the standard F-150.
Our only real complaint is the price of the extended-range battery. For non-fleet buyers, the desirable battery pack adds nearly $10K to the price of the XLT and Lariat trims and cannot be had with the base Pro trim. That essentially caps the maximum driving range to around 230 miles and all but negates any reasonable towing range.
Ford’s bumper-to-bumper warranty of three years/36,000 miles and powertrain coverage of five years/60,000 miles are fairly standard. The Rivian R1T offers better coverage, but both the F-150 and R1T offer the same five years/60,000 miles for roadside assistance and eight years/100,000 miles on the battery.

Wildcard
8/10
Excluding the earlier supercharged variant of the same name (hint: you're old if you remember that one), the F-150 Lightning is exactly what you think it is. Free of gimmicks, the Lightning is more or less a fully electrified F-150 and should appeal directly to current F-150 owners looking for a modern interpretation of their favorite truck. The interior is a smidge more modern, but other than the lack of a rumbling truck engine, the F-150 feels, drives and can be used just like any other F-150.
That is perhaps the greatest achievement of the Lightning — it's an electric truck for people who like to drive trucks. The only real trade-off is the somewhat low tow rating (when compared to a conventional F-150) and meager range when towing, but on the flip side you do get a full-size truck capable of powering your house and doing sprints to 60 mph in just 4 seconds flat.

2022 Ford F-150 Lightning trim level differences
The all-electric F-150 Lightning is available in one of four trim levels: Pro, XLT, Lariat and Platinum. All Lightnings come in a four-door crew-cab body style with a 5.5-foot bed and dual electric motors that give the truck all-wheel drive. The Pro, XLT and Lariat all come with a 98-kWh battery pack that enables the truck to produce 452 horsepower and 775 lb-ft of torque and have an EPA-estimated 230 miles of range. A larger 131-kWh extended-range battery pack is optional on the XLT and Lariat and standard on the Platinum. The extended-range battery not only provides up to 320 miles of range but also boosts the truck's output to 580 hp (the 775 lb-ft stays the same). Here's what else you get on the F-150 Lightning:
Which F-150 Lightning trim does Edmunds recommend?
Start your search with the XLT for an affordable yet comfortable package. It upgrades to cloth seats, a staple for traditional truck folks, and power-adjustable seats and pedals are always welcome. The real prize are the front parking sensors and 360-degree camera to protect your investment. Plus, the 12-inch touchscreen is plenty big without needing to shell out extra cash for the mammoth 15.5-inch unit. We would also add the 312A High package primarily for the Pro Power Onboard feature and adaptive cruise control.

Best vehicle I ever owned!

2022 Ford F-150 Lightning XLT 4dr SuperCrew 4WD SB (electric DD)
I acquired my 2022 Lightning xlt in August 2021
It’s October 2023 and 24000Km later and absolutely the best, the quietest, the roomiest, the most trouble free experience of my life. It’s easy to charge at at home and I rarely need to charge it elsewhere and when I have it has become more convenient each passing day ! Charging away from home requires a bit of prep time on the net … planning your charging stops but again easier with every long distance trip.
90% of my charging is done at home and during the low cost hours between 7pm and 7am . A 10 -85% full charge costs about$6.00 but will change in Ontario Nov1 when the rates are mandated by the government to fall from 7.4 cents per KWH to2.4cents per KWH
Then a full charge will cost a max of $2.40. Compared to my wife’s Cadillac XT5 at $100
No oil changes, no antifreeze.. and the savings add up quickly . An Ev lifespan is almost twice that of an ICE vehicle . Ford warranties the battery for 8 years!
My Lightning exceeds my expectations in every way! I love it.
Next Level F-150

2022 Ford F-150 Lightning Lariat 4dr SuperCrew 4WD SB (electric DD)
To be truthful, I would rate it a 4.5. It's an excellent V1 e-truck. It delivers improved stability (due to weight and independent rear suspension), provides a quality trim (but not necessarily best-in-class), the build has a perfect fit & finish, it provides a convenient "Frunk" with comfortable seats, it is super quiet on roads, and a so-so Infotainment system marked by slowness and … lack of multitasking capabilities, Wireless CarPlay is nevertheless a plus. Sadly the 2022 version will not be upgradable to Google Automobile OS (a big miss on Ford's part). A standard range battery is perfect for our use case (99% local driving), and as such, 110V charging is all we need due to the low mileage. The ordering process was relatively painless but not completely frictionless. As this is an F150, accessories options and availability is plentiful, which is a plus. I would have liked: 1) better cooling front seats, an option for massaging seat (non Platinum), heated rear seats (VT winters), a reclinable back seat for more comfort, and a HUD option (once upgraded to Android Car OS). Note that faster-charging capabilities are hampered by the evolving charging network, even if the truck maxes out at < 150 Kwh. In the future, and maybe once Tesla's charging network is opened to all, batteries will need to handle the 250 & 350 Kwh charges to make this truck a fantastic vehicle and worth the Extended range battery option. By the way. I forgot to mention that the F-150 whiplash fast. In conclusion, I love it and am fortunate and proud to own one, as this is our first Ford!
Would be 5 star if I didn’t own a Tesla

2022 Ford F-150 Lightning Lariat 4dr SuperCrew 4WD SB (electric DD)
Everything said by others. No Maintance, Great ride, Low daily cost (about $0.07 per mile charging at home). Had my standard range Lariat for 6 months and 11,000 miles.
As I mentioned I also own a 2023 Tesla Model Y performance. Tesla is 10 years ahead of Ford understanding how to make an everyday electric vehicle. Ease of use not even close. The Tesla screen and menu. 4 hours we had … it. The ford screen/buttons/levers still learning the thing. Way to much useless stuff (like power button and separate buttons and levers for everything; that don’t correspond to control screen. The charge network on road trip better do your homework. I highly suggest you don’t trust the ford charger route. Go to Plugshare (or other similar app) put in real ranges (especially if wet or cold or really hot) I have had two pull over and find a A/C outlet incidents trusting Ford route. Tesla, don’t even think about, hit supercharger and go.
So we pretty much don’t take lightening on road trips. 110ish miles maybe towing anything. But daily commute around farm truck with no maintenance and low drive cost it’s awesome and that’s what we will use it for.
What Ford does do better. Ford Bluecruise is hands down better than Tesla autopilot. Ride and quiet. Way superior to Tesla.
Solid Electric Truck!

2022 Ford F-150 Lightning Lariat 4dr SuperCrew 4WD SB (electric DD)
The reviews are spot on, it’s everything that’s great about the F-150 and it’s got all the benefits of an electric powertrain. In the month I’ve owned the truck, the ONLY downside has been towing range. I don’t do much towing so it’s not a big deal. I’ve taken it on two 300 mile road trips and they’ve been a breeze and much cheaper than normal :)
