See the many quirks that set the electric F-150 Lightning apart from Ford's gas trucks
We got an early look at Ford's upcoming electric pickup truck: the F-150 Lightning.
The e-truck has a lot in common with the gas F-150. But there are some key differences.
The Lightning has a big touchscreen, a frunk, new bodywork, and power outlets everywhere.
Across a crowded parking lot, you might mistake the upcoming F-150 Lightning for just another gas-drinking Ford truck.
But once you dig deeper, the traits that set apart Ford's electric pickup become clearer.
Up front, you've got a textured black panel instead of a grille — a tell-tale sign that there's no engine under that hood.
The headlights and taillights have been redesigned with a more angular look.
The Lightning also gets an LED light bar spanning the entire width of the truck in front.
There's a matching LED strip running across the rear.
Lightning badging can be found on the sides of the bed…
Along with a more subtle logo out back.
The charging port is under this little door on the front fender.
Ford redesigned the front fenders, hood, bed sides, and running boards for aerodynamics and to fit the new lights and charging door.
But that's pretty much it for exterior changes.
Under the hood, the F-150 Lightning has a roomy front trunk dubbed the Mega Power Frunk.
