I’m driving down a quiet highway in Ford’s 2025 F-150 Lightning with the windows down, snacks in the frunk, a clear view of cattle across acres of ranches and what seems like no other people for miles.
Well, I should clarify that the truck is actually driving itself. And maybe a $82,000 electric ride sounds a little delicate for the dusty grandeur of North Central Texas. But after spending a few days with the F-150 Lightning, it turned out to be the thing that empowered this city girl to go off grid and embrace cowboy core for a night.
