They'll need readings from both axles and motors, and there's no way to turn off one or the other.

Texas Truck Channel explains that the dual-motor all-wheel-drive F-150 Lightning is different from a 'normal' truck. The company's proprietary setup is designed to accommodate EVs, and it's one of the few options readily available for testing the Lightning. They headed to Dynocom in Fort Worth, Texas, to put the Lightning up on the Dynocom DC 6000. With that said, it was time to get the electric Ford F-150 onto the dyno. It's safe to say the guys are impressed with the F-150 Lightning, and we've included their previous review of the truck at the bottom of the page. In short, Texas Truck Channel rates vehicles on its 'Hipster Scale.' They help people decide if a vehicle might be right for them by providing their opinions on each vehicle's Interior, Exterior, Powertrain, and Dynamics.

The channel has already published multiple videos about various electric SUVs, as well as at least one other video covering the Ford F-150 Lightning, which it calls the 'The Next Best Seller.' However, it finally has some electric trucks to cover, and there are more on the way. More affordable options are coming, but for now, it costs a lot to be an early adopter.As you probably assumed, Texas Truck Channel isn't an EV channel. That is not a small number for a truck, but consider that the Rivian R1T can be optioned well over the $90,000 mark and the Hummer EV starts at just under $85,000. With its optional red paint, Max Trailer Towing pack, and spray-in bed liner, the total cost came out to $81,124 including the destination charge. The test truck for this review was a Lariat trim, with the $10,000 Extended Range Battery. If you’re interested in the improved range, the bigger battery starts at the XLT level and costs $74,269.

Ford currently offers the best value in the game with the Lightning Pro and its $41,669 starting price (including destination charge, but excluding incentives – 2023 models will cost more). Like their gas-powered counterparts, electric pickup trucks cover a huge MSRP range. That said, the Rivian R1T can tow up to 11,000 pounds, making it the best in the class (for now). This will reduce the range by varying amounts depending on circumstances, but for short hauls, the EV truck puts in the work. On the all-important matter of towing capacity, Ford says this truck will tow up to 10,000 pounds when equipped with the $865 Max Trailer Package. Even with those similarities, the Lightning has some obvious unique qualities in that it can do one-pedal driving and stroll along in near silence. What’s more interesting to me is how Ford engineers kept the rest of the Lightning’s character in line with the regular F-150. But try not to pay too close of attention to that – if you’re trading in a combustion F-150 for this truck you will be thrilled with its straight-line capability. It’s just no match for the Rivian’s mighty 840 hp, nor the Hummer’s 1,000 hp. With 580 horsepower and 775 pound-feet to play with, the Lightning is of course plenty quick. But up against new-world competition, it’s actually the least performance-oriented of the bunch. Output: 580 Horsepower / 775 Pound-Feetīy the metrics of traditional full-size trucks, the F-150 Lightning is a star athlete.Motors: Two Permananet Magnet AC Motors.
