    Somehow this feels way worse than "Mustang Mach E" felt to me...

    Oh the name makes more sense, just feels more sacrilegious.

    ^Yep, both names are a complete betrayal to the once-great performance vehicles of SVT...I’m sure John Coletti does not approve.
    Lightning makes sense I agree, but because if it’s heritage that name should be reserved for a performance variant, not just a tree-hugger version of the pickup.

    After he left ford O. John Coletti went on to found EcoMotors which is an alternative fuel engine company...so maybe?

    I have no issue with electric and no doubt this thing will be fast and objectively cool, I just feel like without the thunder its not really a "lightning" so to speak.

    I was behind a black Mach E a few weeks ago on the 401 at 140K/h it didn't seem too comfortable at that speed- almost looked like it was beginning to float and looked a little unstable on the lane changes - doesn't interest me at all - can't see the F150 being electric and towing curious to know how that works out

    ^Would be great for towing and carrying heavy loads, instant torque, and lots of it.....problem is it the range and heat, can’t take too much for too long.

    ^^^ I suspect the range would be extremely shortened when towing - it's interesting you mention heat because I think down the road electric/hydrogen hybrids will overcome the range issue for payloads and range for vehicles period - I'm assuming this trucks range as a passenger vehicle might be in the range of a Tesla at conservative performance and 2 wheel drive... it will be interesting to see the standoff between this and the Sierra... I think for practicality it might be premature like the F150 with the 2.3ltr, a grocery getter for the city and maybe haul hockey equipment and sticks to the game. Looking forward to seeing it tho

    I like the idea. It’s the price I’m afraid of.
