I've been thinking about how I will be using my Ford Lightning compared to my current trucks. It certainly won't replace my trip vehicle needed for towing my camper (F-250 Diesel). However I think it will be a fun truck for general commuting, day trips & running errands. How's everyone else plan on using it?

Probably as a daily driver, never have really needed to tow something but having the option would be awesome. It would just be nice to have the space and height of a truck, in an awesome electric package that I can charge at my home overnight.

I plan on using it for my photography business. The big trunk will be perfect for keeping expensive photo gear out of sight and the 4x4 will serve me well in the winter months.

Will be a daily driver for me. I don’t tow or need a truck for my job duties. I tend to buy trucks because they offer the best of both worlds these days: premium interiors and comfort with the capability of hauling more things when needed.
Frunk for the win! That paired with a nice tonneau cover and the back of the cab, and you've got endless amounts of room for gear.

Probably as a daily driver. I have a chevy volt, I have been driving electric for 9 years. I will be trading in a 2019 Ram big horn with only 3,000 miles.

I won't tow either. Simply nothing to tow. Might rent a camper once in a while.
I think it depends on how and what you plan to tow. If you are towing locally to move your toys around, work or haul animals then I think the Lightning will do great. If you're towing a travel trailer more than 600 miles a day more than a couple of times a year, then you might consider a gas or diesel truck.

A daily vehicle commuting, but look forward to eventually getting a RV trailer for camping. This will be my first truck in about 20 years. I'm tired of buying gas and this is the first electric vehicle that has my attention.
This is nice if you have not seen it.

Always had a pickup in the family fleet…want an EV pickup that will accomplish most things an ice version does. Range and towing are critical. After listening to Sandy Munro’s deconstruction of the Mach-E, I am hoping the Lightning will use nylon coolant hoses and since towing reduces range why can’t the truck be designed to be continuously charged from the trailer since many travel trailers have solar panels, batteries, and generators.
