After living with my 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning Lariat Extended Range for the long haul—and stacking up thousands of miles of daily driving, errands, towing-capable truck stuff, and real road trips—I’m finally putting everything in one place: what it’s like to own, charge, and travel in a Lightning when the honeymoon phase is long gone. I cover the stuff people actually want to know before buying one (especially used): real-world range, highway efficiency, how the truck behaves when you’re pushing it on long interstate days, and what the charging experience looks like across different networks—including Tesla Superchargers using a NACS-to-CCS adapter, plus the quirks you only learn after you’ve done it a bunch of times (heat, derates, stall variability, and how your strategy changes depending on conditions).

We’ll talk about software/tech, too—what’s improved, what’s still clunky, and what Ford gets right (and wrong) compared to Tesla. I’ll also get into the practical truck advantages that make the Lightning feel like a cheat code sometimes, like Pro Power Onboard, cabin comfort, space, and how it works for normal life. And because the EV world moves fast, I’m also addressing the bigger question floating around right now: Ford’s direction with the Lightning platform going forward, what that means for today’s buyers, and whether the current generation still makes sense—especially at used prices.

If you’re considering a Lightning, cross-shopping against other EVs, or you already own one and want to compare notes, this is the no-fluff, real-owner breakdown—what I love, what I’d change, what surprised me, and the honest answer to “would I buy it again?”
