2022 FORD F-150 LIGHTNING

After much anticipation, the fully electric, battery-powered ’22 Ford F-150 pickup is finally here and it’s called the Lightning. Ford has been teasing the truck’s existence and giving glimpses into development for quite a few years now. However, the unveiling finally gives us the full rundown on this impressive truck. The F-150 has been America’s best-selling truck for 44 years, something that Ford is immensely proud of, so when approaching how to build a battery-electric version of the pickup Ford knew they needed to get it right the first time.

At first glance, Ford has nailed it with the F-150 Lightning. The Lightning looks like a truck, it does all the things a truck needs to do, and comes in at a price that arguably won’t break the bank. The Lightning is the quickest and most powerful F-150 Ford has offered to date, and the most technologically advanced. Let’s take a look at some of the key features that are sure to turn any traditional pickup enthusiast into an instant fan, while answering some of the important questions along the way.

Addition to the F-150 Family

Truck fans can breathe a heavy sigh of relief as the all-new Lightning EV will not be replacing any models in Ford’s best-selling lineup. Instead, the battery-electric Lightning will be an addition to the family. However, Ford would only confirm that this is currently the case with F-150, and we would expect to see a thinning of the company’s internal combustion engine options as the F-150 Lightning becomes more readily available.

The Lightning Isn’t Ugly … is it?

Ddecades ahead of the '20 four-door Bronco, and even preceding the Ford Explorer and Excursion, came an SUV that could have passed for OEM and was built to answer the call for a three-row people-haulin' off-roader.

JEEP OR BLAZER BUILDING

I was hoping to pick your brain as to a couple of different builds. I have a '19 Jeep Wrangler JL and a '74 Chevy Blazer. I'm a little baffled as to what to focus on. The '74 full convertible Blazer is my dream vehicle. She's been a long build and now I am thinking of focusing my energy on my wife's '19 Jeep JL. I recently joined a Jeep club and have been going off-road with a few guys. I'm shopping around for lift kits. Would you suggest that my time be spent and focused on the Blazer or enjoy the Jeep? I really can't do both.
