For $39k, the base Lightning seems great to me. I don't mind the obvious cost cutting efforts (lack of signature lighting, etc.) since we're still getting a lot of truck.

Plus at 8:10 we can see how agile it is, a major win over other pickups at the same price point.

Not only is it a lot of truck for the money but it's also a lot of EV for the money. That agility is the beauty of having the batteries so low, that low center of gravity makes such a big difference.

Alex on Autos also does well at highlighting on the strong points here.

Rivian might have the first EV pickup in America, but it looks like Ford will beat everyone to the full-size game and certainly be the first "affordable" full--sized EV if the new Hummer beats it to market. With up to 563 horsepower, max payload of 2,000 pounds and 10,000 pounds of trailering when properly equipped, this should also be one of the most capable trucks in America... As long as you don't need to drive more than 230 miles in the base model, 300 miles in the big-battery model when empty and likely considerably less when fully loaded towing a trailer...
