I would have been first to Pre order if this was what Ford gave us.... The model being offered IS NOT a Lightning!

severely disappointed in the Lightning appearance.. Crewcab? No! I could accept a supercab, but thats too much weight for a Lightning... or a real L anyway.

Yea, wish we could of gotten a real Gen 3 Lightning before Farley slapped it on a crewcab EV F-150.

At least the name Lightning makes sense for an EV but I guess this was the nail in the coffin for any gen 3 (real) Lightning from Ford

I think I've seen more pics of that concept. Liked it.

Looks sexy. Still don't like the electric aspect but I could at least respect the truck. The one they're trotting out is a joke to the Lightning name.

Ford Lightning should have been a 760HP Predator V8 bad-ass, period. Electric cars are not cool, in the least.
Oh yeah, that would make a lot of people happy as hell.

I like that rendering as well. Good looking truck!

I wonder if you'd be able to swap the headlights, grill, and hood with a regular cab swb f150 or if they'll be a conversion done by a company for people that want the lightning front end but don't want the electric drivetrain. Be awesome to build one like that with a blown coyote. Can even get the new lightning emblems for the bed.

Ultimately Ford would like for the new lightning to outsell the current ICU F150. Not gonna happen with that rendering. I would expect a sportier spin off though.

Home run hit here by Ford.
300 mile range with a 450-500 range model coming out within a year. Truck looks really good and does not look like your electric cars of today where they look funky. Big interior with a giant 15 in screen and all the safety and comfort creatures of ICE F150, good pay load and towing numbers , this will be a huge hit as the price is not stupid crazy either. I like it!

Being electric i would imagine the grill does not allow air to pass through, especially since its a frunk. That wouldnt work well for a radiator.
