2024 Ford F-150 Lightning Flash

The F-150 Lightning is Ford's all-electric take on the country's best-selling pickup, and it's the truck to cross-shop if you're considering a Rivian R1T or a Tesla Cybertruck. With the battery low in the frame, this truck feels planted and stable, and the instant response from the electric motors makes it genuinely quick in everyday driving. The ride is smooth and quiet for a full-size pickup, though you'll feel the extra weight over sharper bumps, which is the trade-off for that low center of gravity. It's still a proper F-150, so you get a roomy crew cab, a usable bed, and the front trunk adds handy covered storage where the engine would normally sit. The Flash trim is the one to pick if you want the long-range battery without stepping up to the Lariat's luxury price. With the extended-range battery, this truck delivers 320 miles of range and the instant torque of the all-wheel drive electric motors makes it feel quick off the line.
