Ford Lightning range is 210 miles with 1400lbs.
Car and Driver found that towing a 6100 lb trailer dropped the range to 100 miles. Unloaded highway range was 230 miles. This was with the Platinum trim and extended range battery. The EPA range is supposed to be 320 miles.
I can’t speak for 1400 pounds, but my F-150 3.5L twin turbo has a range of over 700 miles on a tank of gas. Granted, it’s a big tank, but that’s hard to beat.
That said, I generally take my 3 cylinder Escape for long trips. Something about 33-34 mpg versus 20-22 with the truck.
#47 The makers of electric cars lie and lie about how great they are.

Electric vehicle manufacturers have exaggerating the driving range of their vehicles by more than twice as much as advertised in some cases, according to a study by SAE International.
On average, electric vehicles (EV) fall short of their advertised range by 12.5%, according to a study by SAE International. The study included 21 different brands, and revealed that EV manufacturers as a whole inflate the range of their vehicles far beyond their actual capabilities.
Tesla seems to be inflating the numbers far more than other brands. SAE International revealed that the range displayed on Tesla vehicle’s dashboard is 26% lower than the car’s ability.
Ford Lightning range is 210 miles with 1400lbs = joke.
