Pics of Lightning Trucks Doing Truck Things. Post Yours! 📸

Practicing being an excavation contractor. Buddy picked up the new mini X at Ritchie Bros a couple months ago for ~$2K and change. Impressive digger and excellent at finding old telecom cables ?!

Truck things... Here I am using the F-150 Lightning's Pro Power Onboard to charge locomotive starting batteries. A locomotive's low voltage system is 64V and the lead acid starting batteries weigh about 3,500lbs.

Hauling the old hot tub cover to the refuse center along with the pallet and box from the new cover and some other cardboard.
Pallet is 56"+ wide x 96" long. Sits up on one wheel hump a little in the standard F150 bed.

(Would have had to have been loaded on edge if in a Cybertruck)

That's right, Rick! And with on-board scaling, the F-150 Lightning makes sure you're never over capacity on anything you're hauling!

That's awesome! We'd love to see more of that F-150 Lightning you've got tucked away!

Wow! That's incredible, Jamie! We bet you're the talk of the tailgate with that kind of display of the F-150 Lightning's power!

This may be controversial, but I wish that the scale displayed how much over capacity the load is. Right now, it just maxes out. But there is a big difference between being 50lbs over and 1200lbs over and I would like to know that difference.

Also wish they would just display the current load as a number in lbs. The bar graph is not nearly as useful.

I started building a playhouse for our kids in the backyard. Instead of walking back and forth between the garage and backyard I made my Lightning a mobile workshop with the PPO. Worked perfectly and made everything easier and quicker.

And to the ford engineer who thought of the clamping spots on the tailgate - thank you!

Awesome, David. The F-150 Lightning is prepared to take the things you need and bring them anywhere!

That's a beautiful F-150 Lightning, John! We hope the Lightning helped get you a great view!

We're glad you're enjoying the F-150 Lightning! Our teams worked hard to bring thoughtful design choices to life!

Right at 12k. We have towed up to 18k. The ammonia tanks get towed only short distances (they have SMV signs and are *only* supposed to go 30 mph) of 2-5 miles. Its hard to see, but that's a dampered "cushion" hitch to reduce the push/pull that occurs when towing these weights on farm roads that have pot holes etc.

Biggest danger IMO is that over distance, the motors would overheat at these loads. We are traveling slow and short distances. My brother says it performs better than his Silverado 2500 HD, in terms of smooth starts. Since the Lighting weighs as much or more than the Chevy, I'd guess it controls the weight just as well also.

Note the HD F-150 rims with more aggressive tires. Did that due to snow/Ice buildup in winter.

Putting in some trees. First fencing off the areas. Using the power outlet to run my demo hammer with a driving bit to drive the t-posts.

Borrowed a friend's mini for a project.
Only had to tow it 5 miles, so it wasn't much of a test, but neither acceleration nor the regen braking disappointed me, with ~12k in tow.
