I drove the Ford F150 Lightning — and all other EVs are ruined for me

Ford F150 Lightning Platinum Black Edition hands-on first look.

I never gave much thought about electric vehicles. I’ve heard they accelerate really fast, but I was in for a surprise with my first time driving one — which turned out to be a pickup truck of all things. Ford’s F150 Lightning Platinum Black Edition is the kind of thing that can turn heads because it’s covered in this unique matte black wrap. However, I was surprised most by one specific driving mode that I got the chance to try out.

Electric vehicles are nothing new, but what makes this one special is that Ford’s making a limited batch of them. In fact, there will be a total of 2,000 units produced, with each one badged with its respective number. If you can somehow shell out the $97,995 that it costs to snag one, then you should expect delivery sometime in early 2024.
