Ford took a massive gamble. Instead of creating a weird, teardrop-shaped EV that screams "I'm saving the planet," they electrified their two most iconic badges: The Mustang and the F-150. For contractors and traditional truck buyers, the Lightning proves that electric torque and bidirectional power are massive upgrades over gas engines, even if long-distance towing still requires stops.
