That's awesome! The F-150 Lightning is built for adventures like these!Minus tide beach day at the Padre Island National Seashore, 20 miles from pavement. Can anyone see how the truck is cooking our dinner?

Pics of Lightning Trucks Doing Truck Things. Post Yours! 📸
Back it up, weigh it, hitch it, and guide it — whatever it is — the Tow Technology Package of the F-150 Lightning makes it easier than ever! We love to see it in action!
Towed the tractor 120-130 miles, and then spent the week digging trenches, running various power tools, and taking many meetings (with the AC on!--100+ degrees outside) in the truck. Just about the perfect work truck.
Love to see the F-150 Lightning the perfect fit for everyday errands, work plans, or weekend excursions! Thanks for sharing, Ryan!

Our small town had a car show on the 4th and I decided to introduce some of the Lightning's interesting capabilities to the crowd. I filled the lower compartment of the frunk with Otter Pops and set up a welding table with welder, grinder and air compressor in the back. I brought my other two cars, the Corvette and Galaxie and put a 0-60 and 1/4 mile time chart out to show how fast the Lightning is (like 2.5 seconds faster than the Corvette in 0-60). It got quite a bit of attention and really no negative responses. Since we are an ag based area a lot of younger people weld and they thought that was really cool. All and all it was a great day with a lot of friendly people.
P.S. It took me three wash sessions over 2 days to get all the ranch crud off the Lightning.

Soooo the California Vehicle Code, as I understand it, says you can have loads extend no further than 2/3rds your wheelbase length beyond the vehicle, or in our case about 97". The kayaks are 14'- 10". As long as the "vehicle" includes the tailgate in the down position, I'm good, I think.

We have no opinion on that, but we do have opinions on just how stunning that F-150 Lightning is! Wow!Soooo the California Vehicle Code, as I understand it, says you can have loads extend no further than 2/3rds your wheelbase length beyond the vehicle, or in our case about 97".

That's awesome, Victor! We love to see the F-150 Lightning's Pro Power Onboard system in action. We'd love to let you know about all the other features and systems on your F-150 Lightning that you may not be aware of with a guided virtual tour. Please send us a DM if you're interested.

A creative, fun and interactive way to show off the capabilities of the Lightning at a car show.
Love the 'Vette and the Galaxy too, Really Nice Cars!

300’ feet of 1.25” conduit for future telecom upgrade (likely fiber optic) as easy to put in an open trench now then dig another later.
