Team Cybertruck or team F‑150 Lightning?
Why do they need to overly brand everything with pro and Ford. If you bought a Ford you know the feature is a Ford. It cheapens everything to artificially complicate it. Why not just one drive mode. The right one.
Why mess up the lightning name. It support to have a big supercharger motor.. And yall messed up the mustangs name too suv Really SMH. I guess they ran out of names.
worked for a ford dealer in the 70’s “Fix Or Repair Daily” never have recovered from how crummy their “cars” were back then .. Pinto . Granada , Mustang 2 ..
I want to ad Tom leykis
40K USD, crazy
So how do I get my complimentary vehicle?
It’s good Ford is developing EVs including this truck as alternative vehicle options. It will be interesting to see how they handle the efficiency of these vehicles as the are further developed.
Chesus, I am impressed Ford! This might yet be my first electric vehicle purchase.
Never owned a Truck… this could be it, going to mine more Ethereum
Think I will find a old spark and gap. A lest gas will be cheaper.
They HAVE got to make a Fast single cab version for the Old school Lighting fans out there! More Torque and More POWER.… Huhh Huhhh Huhhh
Once again Ford is bringing something to the market that’s well thought out and obtainable,and GM went the overpriced Hummer route. Btw I currently drive a GM truck and have done for the last 25 years. This truck maybe my next truck.……color me impressed.
When will we get to drive these amazing vehicles in India. I wish Ford unleashes its range of vehicles in India
Investing in crypto is the only big chance of making money
Cybertruck blows this out the water.
Im keeping my 1999 ranger ext 4x4. It does the job and has a 6.5ft bed.
Ford is out of touch with their contractor costomers if they imagine it takes two people to hook up a trailer. This lady should know better than to try and sell a feature by insulting their costomers.
In an emergency, can I power my truck with my dewalt 20v batteries? Surely the flex fuel 60v will work!
That name somewhat reminded me of Conan making a joke of sonna’s old car “white lighting” 🤣
before, i’d say there’s no way i’d be getting a full sized pickup. now i’m starting to change my mind a little.
Ummm.… I’ve seen that $100 deposit somewhere else? ( copy cats)
Largest charging network, thanks for Ford? Which network?
l can’t believe they avoided to mention the range. Good price though.
Get this with Cybertruck, let me see, who pulls whom.
I don’t like it because it looks boring
look at all the concept cars these companies make but never release make a future looking car or retro the f150/ chevy Silverado ‚Dodge Ram, Nissan Titan all look the same that’s why I like the Tesla truck its new its different
The royal cultivator cytochemically pour because target definitely interest up a common eye. flowery, highfalutin xylophone
Range if you are using it???? It’s a truck, gotta haul and tow more than 50 miles. What is “really fast” charging?
Seems pretty low off the ground — what the marketing people charitably call a “low center of gravity” — which will make this difficult for driving in rugged terrain.
Ford for the win!!!
1:45 Did she just say “standard full sized bed”?!
People will be kicking themselves in few weeks if they miss the opportunity to buy and invest in bitcoin
the top end is as powerful as a low end tessla
They sound like Apple executives.
Tesla an G.M. their past the 200k cut off point.…
We will see how well they are made when boaters back up the trucks into the water to launch there boats. Let’s see how well they waterproofed the battery’s and electric motors??????
I wonder how we are going to keep all these work trucks charged , we are currently having rolling power outages all over so imagine all these cars and work trucks plugged in . Also most of the electric cars now have somewhere besides the homes to charge them most office parking lots are getting charging stations but for the work trucks I don’t see how they are getting any charging station out in the middle of a job site , maybe I should start investing in a portable charging business for those who will need a charge when they have a rolling black out or simply forget to do it at home
Ford will find long-term success with this truck, but I worry that the majority of F‑150 customers will reject it for the foreseeable future. Farmers love their diesel. As of now, the sentiment of rural America is very much anti-EV. Although the Lightning seems that it will be superior by nearly every metric, convincing generations of diesel truck owners to switch to an EV (something they likely see as the antithesis to their identity) will be a serious hurdle. Hopefully I am wrong.
That F150 Lighting won’t be the cleanest after I use it to haul mud and sand to and fro I’ll tell ya that much
Cool vid!
It’s always good to have alternative. Consumers are the winners!
Waiting for the direct competitor from Hyundai. It’s rolling out soon.
Such vehicles are absolute beasts. Pickup trucks should gain more popularity in India as well.
Marques Brownlee does the best comercial for this truck on his YouTube…..please learn from this guy so you morons don’t ruin how great that truck is
My dad would be so proud.
