Out of Spec Reviews will be testing this F-150 Lightning Platinum for the next 10 days.

Kyle Conner ran their lightning totally dead in his range test lol. Had to push it like 400 feet to the charger

Here's the video of his test.

Two more videos from Kyle.

I find it odd so many people are compelled to pose with the truck with their arms extended wide. 😳

I wonder 🤔 if I'll have that urge whenever I take delivery.

In that first video they are mimicking Doug, he (Doug) doesn't extend up like they are doing but that's what they are saying in the first video "they can't do doug". Even Backroad Driver said "quirks and features" in their Lightning video.

Here's the video of his test.

Does this video help you confirm you wanting of a lightning or make you question it? In the video he goes 260 miles on a full charge at highway speeds. I can't remember the EPA range but I think it was over 330. So because the vehicle is still in a f150 truck shape, and using some a/c and probably some electronics, you only get 20 miles out of 330? I had a hard time coming to grips with this for the Tesla model Y who's range is like 350 but in reality they only get like 290 actual miles, and many factors go into this. Of course being a big guy a 6'6 I'd still love to get the Lightning, but if I get the smaller battery or extended range what am I supposed to expect, 200 usable miles out of 250?

What are you toughts?

Official Ford F-150 Lightning EPA Range And Efficiency...

The EPA finally released an official list of range and efficiency numbers for the F-150 Lightning. https://insideevs.com/news/584918/ford-f150-lightning-epa-range-efficiency/ Highway Range: Standard Range (all trims): 201.6 mi (324.4 km) Extended Range (all trims, except of Platinum): 283.1 mi...

The EPA numbers for all Highway driving is 267. He was only 7 miles off. That's a Platinum model and isn't rated for 330 combined.

Oh I thought he had a long range, well then that makes a HUGE difference. THanks.

The video says it was the long range:

From Full To Absolute Dead! Ford F-150 Lightning 70-MPH Highway Range Test (Extended Range Platinum)

So I guess 287 would be the max?

 

[FM_Jack]

Platinum's max combined is 300 miles. Platinum only comes as an ER.

Highway Range:

• Standard Range (all trims): 201.6 mi (324.4 km)
• Extended Range (all trims, except of Platinum): 283.1 mi (455.5 km)
• Platinum trim: 267.6 mi (430.6 km)

City Range:

• Standard Range (all trims): 253.2 mi (407.4 km)
• Extended Range (all trims, except of Platinum): 350.2 mi (563.5 km)
• Platinum trim: 326.5 mi (525.3 km)

 

[2023 lighting]

Platinum has always been an extended range with less range than lariat extended range. Both use same ER battery. In the video he explains this is due to larger wheels on Platinum.

But yes. The effective range is disappointing none the less. Have to look at this mostly as a local in town vehicle.

I'm glad they were able to do an efficiency test with the R1T. They got 1.9 miles per kWh in the Lightning and 2.15 miles per kWh in the R1T. But even thought they travelled the same distance the trip computers in both trucks were a little off for some reason. Still pretty close.

When they charged the Lightning was receiving 73.3 kW of power from the charger while the R1T was receiving 83 kW

 

[RDale]

Another new video.

 

[FM_Jack]

Another new video.

35 minutes isn't as bad as before. This is the one video I don't like from them cause it seems unedited and a lot of rambling.

 

[RDale]

Another video from Out of Spec testing payload and efficiency.

Interesting the scales not too accurate. Maybe they filled the tank with saltwater on accident..
