There’s one big problem. A 150kwh battery, by definition, can generate 200 hp for one hour only. The internal combustion equipped F-150’s have between 250 and 400 hp and can operate all day, every day

All of your comments are valid. Message received: Don't expect to use an F-150 Lightning to pull your Fifth Wheel cross country.

But let me ask you this: What percentage of pickup trucks that are purchased each year really do max capacity towing over long distances on a daily or even weekly basis, and what percentage perform only occasional light duty towing/hauling, and are used the rest of the time as a one passenger daily driver?

The F-150 Lighting has a niche purpose (one that doesn't suit me, btw,) but identifying the worst case scenario then declaring the entire exercise moot is being disingenuous.
