That looks like it was a great course for testing the capabilities of the truck. Well done Ford.
I’m hoping the AMP power running boards will work on the lightning so they can retract easily. I would guess factory running boards are 8-10 bolts and maybe a wire if they are lit. Probably not difficult but definitely not something I’d wanna fo every week.
I remember seeing something saying that the running boards were designed for better aero.
And as a component of the 360 Lightning package.
I am pretty sure we will see third party sliders come out. If truth be told, most Lightnings will be pavement princesses, like 90% of trucks are. With only 9" of clearance I am not certain that the lightning is a real offroad star, like a Raptor or a Rivian. Granted, there will probably be kits out there to turn the lightning into a Raptor fairly soon.
Yup - mine will be a pavement princess. Still need a truck to haul things though.
. Nothing serious, but maybe just to get to a cool camp site or location otherwise inaccessible to a standard crossover.My theory is the Lightning didn't get retractable running boards because the battery pack hangs down below the body line anyway, so there's no/not much benefit to retractable steps (and the steps do a nice job of hiding the battery pack).
Very possible. Best to wait until the truck is in hand for many aftermarket changes.My theory is the Lightning didn't get retractable running boards because the battery pack hangs down below the body line anyway, so there's no/not much benefit to retractable steps (and the steps do a nice job of hiding the battery pack).
