The truck Ford F-150 Lightning was seen doing a Test jump and trailer on the highway.
Ford F-Lightning test
The Ford F-150 Lightning It is fast and capable of towing a large load. After some range and towing tests the last video of Chillin’ with Chet not only tests the towing range of the lightning in the real world, but it allows you to appreciate how well you can jump on the pavement.

When vehicles are gas-powered, range isn’t the biggest concern, yet most electric car owners don’t count on their unit’s cruising range, whether it changes with the weather or how much it’s affected by passengers, cargo, and the trailer.
When we talk about electric cars, we know more about autonomy, since it is slower to charge than to fill a tank of gasoline. Based on the number of stations, recharging should be planned on time.
Chet explains that his Ford F-150 Lightning has the battery pack extended range and about 300 miles from EPA estimated range. It can be seen towing a boat to see if it will lose too much range. Between the boat and the trailer they weigh 4,500 pounds. the electric van lightning It has the ability to tow up to 10,000 pounds when equipped.
Based on the test, the electric vans and the SUV they lose about half their range when towing. Although there are variables such as the weight of what is towed, the style of the trailer, the weather and others to consider.
Chet indicated that the F-150 Lightning It tows pretty well, though he didn’t recommend doing backcountry road trips while carrying a load. Towing is easy but if you want to haul cargo on the road you will have to stop several times to recharge.
Chet Towed the boat about 150 miles, though you’ll need to do some math to see if an electric model is right for this. If your use will be little with this weight when towing, there is no problem, if you will not spend a lot on recharges, in time and money.
Chet He did blow up the truck to add to the fun, but it’s not recommended because of a lot of factors at play.
Due to the battery pack, the van is too heavy to jump successfully. Even if it gets flight it won’t jump like the General Lee either Ram TRX.
