Definition: F-150 Lightning
Ford Motor Company's first electric pickup. The Lightning is a Ford F-150 pickup truck with an electric motor instead of a gas engine. Depending on battery choice, the vehicle's range is from 230 to 300 miles, and towing capacity is 10,000 pounds. A unique feature in a pickup truck, 14.1 cubic feet of storage is under the hood where the gas engine used to be. Of course, in time, a "frunk" (front trunk) will be commonplace.

The primary exterior difference between an F-150 gas model and its electric equivalent is the name plate. Of course, every truck owner would love this fuel economy.
