The segment remains small for the moment, but the F-150 Lightning has the qualities to fend off those electric pickups coming down the pike. For now, it’s the king of a small hill, what with its relatively reasonable price point, oodles of advanced tech, decent range and, yes, practicality.

What KBB liked:

  • Obviously, lots of advanced tech
  • Also obviously, incredible acceleration from the electric powertrain
  • Also, also obviously, zero monthly fuel bills
  • Plenty of range for a pickup
  • Pricing is not outrageous
  • A decent-sized frunk
