Sports car fans are already showing they are willing to give up the ROAR of internal combustion in return for higher performance.F-150 Lightning targets 563 horsepower, 775 lb.-ft. of near instantaneous torque4 – more than any F-150 ever – and a 0-60 mph time in the mid-4-second range when equipped with an extended-range battery, based on typical industry methodology. F-150 Lightning targets a maximum 2,000 pounds of payload in the standard-range model with 18-inch wheels, and a maximum 10,000 pounds of available towing capacity on XLT and Lariat trucks with the extended-range battery and Max Trailer Tow Package. The low center of gravity brings even more confident handling whether traveling along rain-slicked roads or through sand.
Except it's a Ford
And the appointed POTUS pretends to drive it because he's naturally fake.
My Tundra does all that F-150, though maybe 0-60 in under 6. It cost me 23K, and it has something that doesn't, which is dual exhaust that sounds bitchen as fuck and there's no substitute. The original batteries last maybe 7 years, replacement is $180. The gas pump doesn't bother me, and I only visit a station 2-3 times a month any way. I don't have to plug it in using fossil fuels anyway..................No competition, the Tundra wins.
Cool how they build "half tons" now. Really they're 3/4 tons by comparison former. My old 2005 double cab was real nice, reliable as fuck, but not intended to tow more than say 4200 pounds, and even then the brakes leave lots to be desired.
Lamborghini is even going electric.
