Ford F150 Lightning: Is This The Best Truck Ever Made?

The F150 has been America's best-selling vehicle every year for the past four decades - so it would be no understatement to call the new all-electric version the most important new American car of the decade. But does it live up to the hype? Is it a good truck? A good EV? Ricky and Jack investigate.

Little disappointed that the drain hole in the frunk wasn't mentioned, as an Aussie that is one of my fav features as you can fill it up with ice and beer. Hellishly important :D Cheers for the vid.

For the UK market it could do with a vertical plough on each front wing to widen the average UK country lane.

Jack in the gear tunnel would have been funny no matter what...but his silent disgruntled look at the camera...and him going completely unacknowledged....PRICELESS 🤣🤣🤣

[DavidMcCalister]

I don't know why but it warms my heart when different Youtubers come together to make videos that are better than regular tv. Maybe its that fact that its the little guy doing well and seeing their work grow.... good on you guys for working together. You should do a videos with the "have a think" guy and the "undecided" guy :)

Also, put shade over the freaking chargers ! The ones in Arizona are melting, handles burning hot, screens faded, and Texas thunderstorms are not fun to try to figure out charger errors for ten minutes outside.

The EA maintenance explanation shows why things are regularly broken. They send someone twice a month to look (and then later fix) rather than having the software/analytics to report immediately when things need a remote reboot or to send a repair person.

15:39 😂😂😂 perfect use of space. I love how he does not move.

[marcsimmonds]

"...a country where cars are the correct size." Or, depending on your viewpoint, unnecessarily enormous.

[Roamor]

Thank you, not my type of car, but an important gamechanger in its segment.

[Ianmundo]

Silent, comfortable, more practical, and it absolutely shreds Raptors. So long as towing isn’t your priority, this is the best truck for the money.

Hey, Electrify America, improve your uptime. I drove my Mach-E from Cleveland, OH to Destin, FL. Then from Destin to Orland . . . then back home to Cleveland. Every single stop had at least one station down. One stop had only one plug going full speed. I mean, I was able to charge at each stop, but it's neve-wracking seeing so many downed stations. Yes, my trip was actually fairly painless, but given the fact that most of these stations were pretty new, and already having so many problems, it makes me worry about future trips.

Love how the culture and icon of this truck is getting so many people interested and excited when they may not have been before. I might not get American Size Vehicles but this truck is meeting people were they are at and getting people excited and talking about something they otherwise might have been less interested in. Electric is still electric at the end of the day, efficiency might come later, but I’m glad it seems like it’ll help a lot of people get started or at least interested in the EV journeying and taking a second look when they otherwise might not have. It’s appealing to a different people than previous electric cars and glad to think of the number of interested people and buyers growing or simply the trucks raising awareness of just what is available and possible in the EV world.

Ricky! Good to see 2 of my favorite YouTube shows merge. Two Bit da Vinci & Fully Charged!🙌
Hope to see you in San Diego in September.😊

[SuperBacchus]

Check the price Bro ... this truck is EXPENSIVE!

[regaldridge]

Unchallenged BS from EA regarding availability ….. come on Jack, you need call it out, even if they are giving Fully Charged buckets of dollars for the San Diego event next month. Fully Charged need to protect their historic values ….. that is why we watch you!

As a person living in a really big city with a one-stall garage built for a Model T or A in the 1920s, I'm not a potential customer. You have made a really compelling argument for why North Americans who need pickups will eventually gravitate to this vehicle. But only glanced off some important things (Transport Evolved covered those in depth, so everybody go watch their recent vids about their Lightning if you need more details), and that's reasonable. All in all, a great initial scan of the truck. Thanks for doing this episode. I know that people looking at electric for their next car are definitely looking at Fully Charged (and in the US, Consumer Reports) to obtain objective information.

[Atupas]

Fully charged staffs are intelligent and organize. This is the best video documentary of Ford F150 Truck. It really makes me to buy one.

[ShortVersion]

Glad to see Ricky Boy out here killing it on Fully Charged!

[Well_Earned_Siesta]

This channel, and this episode in particular, is remarkable in how it is so informative and also leaves me filled with such optimism for the future!

[NeilBlanchard]

Great video, and great to see Ricky co-presenting!
