i only have a 10 foot work trailer
and a old pop up camper i haven't used in about 12 years
I don’t know much about towing anything. I just posted after seeing a review. All Trucks (they had 3) had their range halved or less when towing. To me it is impractical especially if your idea was to go out camping with it.
Either way, I don’t do this stuff so what do I know. For me these electric vehicles are still not in the “buy” category. The charging alone is painful.

Yes and then stay stuck up on the hill for a lifetime.
It’s decent. Most malls have charging spots. Some business buildings are also trying to add a charging system. However, those are still rare. Most people charge at home or in the mall.
Interesting, seems like the F-150 Lightning was the most comfortable going uphill (and had loads of torque to spare while the gasser gave up acceleration at one point). On the downhill it sounded like he was just almost able to one pedal it which is amazing giving how much he was towing. I bet if he wasn't towing a thing he'd be able to one pedal it all the way down. A mountain novice wouldn't have to learn a thing in an EV just drive it as usual!
I can't wait til you get yours Bill and confirm some of this stuff you've been posting in videos.
the dealer said ford had shipped 45k Lightnings so far when i was in
no idea where i'm at in the list ford won't tell them till you are close

I drove next to one of these the other day.
It had a very wierd presence to me.
Aside from the fact that it was clearly a Truck....it almost seemed like the truck was a childs toy, scaled up to full size truck duty.
It was all white so it looked plastic compared to any other F150 ive seen on the roads. And it probably was because all the chromey bits and cladding was covered in various shade of white....the headlights (or at least that DRL strip) looked like it was made of the same stuff as fluorescent light....

the extra 45k would buy a lot of gas even at 6 bucks a gal
Saving the environment is way more important than the well being of my family! So we must do everything we can and we can lead the way!
