The Ford F-150 Lightning is one of the most anticipated EVs coming in 2022 Along with the Tesla Cybertruck and the Rivian R1T, it is helping to pave a new path for EV trucks

Unfortunately, aside from a test drive by President Joe Biden, we didn't get to see much hands-on with Ford's newest generator on wheels However, Michael S Palmer of Ford Truck Enthusiasts uploaded unedited video footage of Ford's new EVs running on the autocross course with a ride in the new Lightning

To see the unedited circuit run, skip to 14:41

On the autocross course, Lightning can be seen crossing the straightaway What is striking is the relatively low body roll, despite the fact that it is a large car that is quite far off the ground Sure, it's not as tight as a low-floor sports car, but it handles corners nimbly with minimal understeer Well, minimal for a truck of this size and weight We would love to see how the Lightning would perform on the track with stickier sport tires

In addition to the track footage, Palmer also showed off various trims of the Lightning Of the models featured, we feel the Ralliart is the one to get It is the most expensive, but comes with the 12-inch screen found on the Ford Mustang Mach E However, the Lariat would be in the $90,000 range

Ford also prepared a Lightning cutaway to show off what lies beneath the chassis The Lightning's motor can be seen, which is different from the Mach E With an 8-year/100,000-mile warranty, Ford has made it easy to replace the battery if it deteriorates too quickly

Ford can also test the different cells in the battery pack, helping to replace individual cells rather than the entire pack If you opt for the extended range battery, which adds $10,000 to the 70-mile range, you get a dual charging system This means that the power is split when charging, so that an 80-amp charger can charge the Lightning in 10 hours, compared to 8 hours for an 80-amp charger

We are still only scratching the clear coat of the Ford F-150 Lightning As soon as we get it, we will bring you a review
