A contractor or construction worker working a city wouldn't need to travel long distances between job sites.


City contractors also spend a lot of time stuck in traffic.

Doing errands between jobs sites to bring materials.

Would of loved to have this on the fleet of trucks.

If you can charge through towing one day, then all your gear continues to charge while on the road, that's another neat feature.


They shouldn’t be driving more than 5 hours a day.


My point was that a contractor or construction worker probably wouldn’t be driving an f150 lightning as it’s not really practical but it sure is fun (see the F150 SVT with its single digit city mileage as a previous example)


Sure it’s not practical for a lot of existing owners but Ford has to start somewhere and I think it’s a pretty good place to start

The tech simply isn’t there yet for your ask but if Ford waited for the day the tech arrived, they wouldn’t even be in the game


COrrect. The SVT raptor puts out 500+ ponies. No construction worker needed that, but it did pave the way for more efficient ecoboost engines (mustang has a lovely 2.5L EB engine) which power the entire ford lineup
