The 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning Platinum may look like your regular F-150 on the surface, but its electric heart sets it apart in the pickup truck market. Its familiar exterior and interior design mask an entirely different beast under the hood – two potent electric motors powered by either of two battery packs.

With the Extended-Range battery, this powerhouse can produce a staggering 580 horsepower, launching the truck from zero to sixty miles per hour in just four seconds at our testing facility. Depending on which battery pack you choose, you could be looking at an EPA-estimated range between 230 to 320 miles.

However, one should keep in mind that towing heavy loads will likely require more frequent charging stops – a common drawback for all EV trucks. But for those who only tow occasionally or over short distances, this is unlikely to be a major concern.

The F-150 Lightning Platinum’s versatility is one of its key strengths; it can be adapted to fit a wide variety of needs with minimal compromises compared to traditional gasoline-powered versions. So whether you’re cranking up the music or enjoying the quietness of the ride, one thing is clear – this isn’t your average F-150. It’s an electric workhorse designed to redefine what an EV truck can do.
