13: F-150 Towing & Hauling

There’s a common misconception that electric trucks are not capable of doing any real work. However, that isn’t the case, as Ford has demonstrated with the towing and hauling capabilities of the Lightning. The truck can tow about 7,700 lbs., which isn’t bad when considering the competition (via Maxim).

The extended range model should haul up to 10,000 lbs. Being able to haul and tow a large amount of weight will attract new buyers to electric pickup trucks. Without the misconception that these vehicles aren’t cut out for work, more buyers will start to embrace the new technology.
