    Ford Lightning towing.

    This article the F150 all electric pickup is having some issues towing stuff more far enough to get to the lake and back.

    Hey, how would you feel if you had bought an $80,000 pickup truck rated to tow your 500 pound boat and left home with a fully charged truck only to have it die with no juice left on the launching ramp.

    I guess they will have to build some charging stations for those Ford Trucks on the Launch ramp parking lot. I don't have to worry about that as I won't be buying any new truck that cost that much.

    I'm all for going electric if it works. It is a good thing for the air quality and our environment. We need to figure out how to get off fossil fuels.

    I agree if we can make it work and make an orderly transition.

    I think to get the ball rolling, fed out offer rebates for self contained hybrids as that cuts gas use in half or better. Right now rebates are full full electric or plug in hybrids only.
