 This is XUX I'm going to cover the Ford F-150 Lightning Pro the fleet truck versus the Endurance here We're going to go over handling interior exterior and then we're going to go over some specs and compare them all I Hope you guys like the video. Let's get going. This is them XUX. I'm going to go through different segments on this video This is a From Town and Country car dealers Put a link in the description This is the first walk around of the fleet model of the Endurance. I'm sorry of the Ford Lightning the pro model So I'm going to start and stop this and I have the specs for the Endurance on the right here and Let's just get started What's up guys? I'm going to watch a Town and Country TV and today is an epic day because I have got my hands on the new brand new 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning. I'm so excited because we're going to do a very quick very fast walk around on this particular lightning The reason I'm so excited about it is because this is the pro version So this is the work truck version. So you've got the Apple they they call their pro series the high-end series Well Ford's doing it a little bit differently This is designed for that pro who's going to be using this vehicle in their company in their business And so there's a lot of epic things going on on this particular vehicle Obviously, as you can see this is the base model because you've got basically a And before we start I do want to let you know this is a very early pre-production model Not long ago. I was told this vehicle was wearing full set of camo, but nonetheless because this is Okay, just to go over this this is a pre-production model I Believe the endurance is farther along We don't know how How much of this is going to be the same here But let's move forward a a pro version You'll notice that it doesn't have the signature LED light bar that runs it across the top It's designed to save on cost. That's the reason this vehicle. We know it doesn't have the light $199 us and as you can see it's basically just a work series on the bumper as well Now I do want to showcase a couple of different things to you You do have your charging port located on this particular side of the vehicle And yeah, it literally is a base version, but I'm going to show you on the inside You still get a lot of creature comforts But as you can see these are a set of Michelin P 275 65 18 Michelin tires and they are wrapped around Okay, these are really skinny tires and he mentions there for rolling resistance and they're 18 inch and they 18 inch wheels so endurance has 20 inch wheels, but that's because the weight is So different on these two cars But you know The Ford this is the Not the regular range battery Pro-Ford supposedly has a hundred and thirteen kilowatt our battery and the endurance has a hundred nine, so that's Four kilowatts worth the weight there, but I do believe these narrow tires are going to be a problem with the F-150 Let's just move forward here around a very specific set of wheels Now we're told that these F-150 lightning wheels are dedicated and designed specifically for aerodynamics and these tires are actually Specifically designed for low rolling resistance and why do they do that? So that way they can narrow there are miles of estimated range on this particular F-150 lighting This is the extended range version. You've got a standard range in the extended range. This is the extended range You can see here The standard range is right here Under thirteen kilowatts the extended range is a hundred ninety two kilowatts. Oh my goodness That is a really big battery and I believe that'll give up 300 miles range And That is not very efficient if you go by two two miles per kilowatt hour that should be giving them You know two hundred three eighty almost four hundred miles of range, and they're only getting three hundred This is one thirteen times two is two twenty Two twenty six So two thirty they're getting out of this I say they're going to be getting 226 out of the standard range and by the way he mentions later They're not going to be selling the pro model with the large battery you got to upgrade to the XL So the standard everyday Joe is not going to get this Now this is the charge times This is the mobile charger the 110 charger that nobody's going to use this is the house charger For the standard range to charge is ten hours for the extended range to get a full charge. It's 13 hours but You can't get the Extended range for this truck, so you're going to be going to this one and It's going to take eight hours Okay, and you do the math on this because I can't figure it out Eight hours to charge on this 80 amp, which is a very big That's 240 amp breakers. That's Possibly six grade wire Six gauge wire. This is what a standard house would have so 13 hours on it on a standard charge station And this is probably a standard fleet station too So this is where they run into trouble with the extended range not only the cost in the in the weight but the charge time is long but this 10 hour charge time is pretty much comparable to the Endurance now where where they're different is the endurance Has a much smaller battery All a smaller battery and it's a lighter vehicle More charger and that that basically allows you to charge it faster than even the normal range battery And so I think that is absolutely so cool and because it is the extended range battery You also get breakers and a charge station that come with the vehicle that way you have the ability to power your house Again, he's talking about this But the word is that this is not going to be available to the public on the pro model to charge your house You're going to have to upgrade to the XL model to get the big battery the you know 192 kilowatt battery so This is going to be a watt waster on my opinion With the vehicle so bi-directional charging is basically what Ford Motor Company is calling that you have the ability to charge your house for Three days over three days on this particular vehicle and if you ration it out You can actually make that thing last ten days on that single charge That's great, but again the word is as of today that Ford is not selling this model to the public with the extended range battery so and by the way the price is 39.9 on this truck the pro model with the regular battery and With the Government incentives and state incentives it drops down 10 grand before 29 but then it goes back up to 50 grand with the big battery so it's a there's a whole bunch of stuff going on so At this point we can say it is cheap the tires are smaller Than the endurance the batteries bigger, but the range is less This range is 230 on this truck The range on the endurance is 250 plus and if we add 10 miles this is for the torque steering and torque vectoring to learn how the driver drives So if we add 10 miles for that, it's got 30 miles more range, which I Don't know. I think it sounds like it would be a lot to me if I had the truck But that's where we are. Let's go forward I think that is absolutely so cool now once again This is a very early pre-production model But I do want to showcase to you a couple things going on you've already seen the wheels That's whatever but you have a set of independent rear suspension, which is something you've never seen in the Ford F-150 beforehand That's what you got on this particular setup. Now as I mentioned to you just like an okay, so this has dual motors The endurance has four motors true four-wheel drive The endurance has a straight rear axle, which is a truck axle. This is SUV suspension. I Don't think it's going to do a good job towing You do that Sandy Monroe Let's move forward. That's another major difference between the two trucks in the front They have the the signature LED light bar on the front for the higher trim levels The same thing goes for the pro model in the rear there It would normally be a signature LED light bar But not so on this particular trim because it is that pro version now I think it is so cool that Ford is also incorporating the American flag and lightning logo specifically on the back as well Well, we've got the rear bumper But what I want to do now is the body inside of the vehicle and show you what you've got on the pro series All right on the inside of this particular vehicle one would easily mistake this for an XLT of some sort Now this is the vinyl seating and once again if something now He does go over the vinyl seating which it's comparable to the endurance seating One thing he keeps stating is that this is a prototype and that this may change So this is all subject to change. I don't know. It's a rough approximation This is much farther behind on the development scale than the endurance It doesn't look right compared to what comes out maybe in the next few months or what actually gets put into production The reason for this is this is a very early pre-production model So just keep remembering that throughout this video But nonetheless, you have a set of vinyl seating from Ford Motor Company, but it looks really nice It actually looks more like leather than it does that traditional vinyl look to it Now I want to call your attention to the center console here As you can see you do have a normal center console setup You don't have this one's not equipped with the interior the interior work surface But you do have the folding center console which is carried over into this vehicle Now the other thing is is I love the fact that one of these F-150 lightnings come with the big touchscreen that you see right here So, um, uh, yep, they left the key with me. So hey, hey, hey, don't worry forward I'm not going to be driving off and stealing your F-150 light. I like to touch some time with the vehicle itself But notice this is a bigger touchscreen I say same it is a different version, but the very similar 12 inch touchscreen that is found in the 2021 F-150 But this may not appear Really XLT the 302a and up they don't know is automatically in the very most base version of the F-150 lightning I think that it is epic that they've included that in this particular vehicle Now let's talk a little bit about towing since I see it right there on the screen Okay, I just want to stop this If you can see this right here towing sway control on Okay, that's because it's got suv suspension. They got the sway control on Also why they have the scale built in scale because they do not want to overload this suspension. They can't Uh, I think this is a tell on the performance of this truck and it's the tell on the towing capabilities This sway control and also this this on board scale, which they're preaching as a big feature. I think this is You know, these guys are going to overload these trucks. They're going to break the rear end Ford's going to look at the telemetry or the Save computer data on the truck and they can say well We look at your on board scale here. You overloaded it. No wonder it broke. So that's my opinion I I think uh endurance wins this especially with the fleets on the solid axle It can help you with the range of the battery I know that's one thing that a lot of people are concerned with like I don't want to drive electric vehicles. I don't know how much range I've got on the vehicle itself So what Ford has done is they've given you the ability to actually focus in on the range and it is a smart range detection So they can tell you basically how many miles you're going to get on this charge based on uh, not just your How you drive but also the temperature that it is outside the temperature of the batteries And also with the smart scale. So there is a scale located in the mega power frunk And also scales located in the bed of the vehicle. They will automatically And instantly recalculate the range based on what you're doing So again with the scales double-edged sword, I think this is to protect the rear suspension personally It I mean the technology This is something that should have come out years ago Why didn't they have it before because they never needed it because they had a solid rear axle But it didn't didn't and you know, I just think it's fantastic that Ford has given us that ability to right now So it's weird the vehicle's on and uh, yeah, nothing's running. Hey, check this out This pre-production model only has 183,000 miles or 183 miles on it rather and uh, as you um We'll see here in just a second from what everybody's telling me the acceleration feels fantastic Note this one does have dual climate control on both sides Um, there is no heated seats in the vinyl and the the base model But you know, just keep that in mind and then also you've got this is comparable to the endurance as well So, I mean, look at this. This is this is incredibly. This is the base model and you're over here rocking Uh, your apple carplay wireless apple carplay and android auto. This is All right now, let's take a look at the back For the rest of these riding rides which we're gonna hop into here I think these back seats are comparable this seating arrangement is completely into our sleep Final mats are comfortable and your vinyl seating as well as plenty of power outlets located just like a normal f-150 What I love about this setup is you're not having to sacrifice truck and truck space to have this f-150 lighting So without further ado, let's go ahead and take this thing for a quick spin. All right. Are you ready? If you are Now this I just want to point out Uh Lordstown has had the Goodyear executives drive the endurance. It's been in the hands of evaluated Companies. There's all kind of third parties have driven it Ford will not let anyone drive this truck Anyone but their designated drivers I think that's a red flag um, now this is this this guy here is going to show the handling And I'll see if I can drop in a clip of uh, of uh The Lordstown week endurance handling which puts this handling the shame, but just to give you an idea They're ooing it on Looks pretty slow to me. Check it out Here's what we got here. So we know this thing's going to fly based on the numbers, right? It's going to accelerate but the handling is super impressive in this thing We got a lot of things working for us. We got low center of gravity We got the batteries down there. We got the motors down there. It's evenly distributed wait, right? We got four-wheel drive working for us. We got independent rear suspension, which we don't normally have in these trucks So all of those put together make a very nice package as far as handling and acceleration um And you'll see very little body roll. I mean those things 6400 pounds and I'll ask you at the end if I felt like we just went through there. Okay. I don't know if you heard that Now this has got the extended range battery in it, but it's 6400 pounds the endurance is 4 000 pounds. So the endurance is 2 000 pounds a ton lighter than this truck and I don't know it with the the other range battery would would take that down Quite a bit, but still um This thing is heavy much heavier than the endurance And that's physics and that's rolling resistance and that's In effect range and everything else. So I think these weights this is this is a forward f150 that was built Without regard to weight At all to be strong with an electric motor strapped on it So it's heavy and and it looks heavy. Check it out 6400 pounds. Yeah, it's it. Where is it? Well, though? Yeah, that's 6400 pounds Guys good with a little bit of speed. I'm good with it more speed standard range battery, but the battery is not available Louie, okay. Yeah, that baby's I don't know. I'm not impressed. Let's go Hear them tires squealing. You didn't hear that on the endurance And this is the work truck Those tires are just straining under that weight. They're groaning Anyway, I think the endurance It's much better Oh my goodness See this way They're getting a lot. I think your body rolled there. I'll get your job Scrubbing the tires screaming. It's like I started to be in high trap or so Man, that's awesome. Thank you so much for an hour. Absolutely And there you have it that is our very first look at the pro series of the new forward f150 lightning I hope you enjoyed this video If you did and you're feeling like being awesome make sure to smash that thumbs up button Huge thanks to forward motor company for having us at this event and also giving me dedicated time with the vehicle I very very much appreciate you guys. Thank you so much for watching this video If you haven't already done so make sure you are subscribed to the channel with that bell notification turned on So you don't miss a single video. Peace Okay, I just want to show this information Uh They were very happy with the uh with the way this truck performed Uh, this is this is town and country Um And uh, they do a they do a lot of uh of great stuff. This guy's a great presenter And uh, anyway, uh, let's see if we can give him his thoughts Mitchell s watts, he's great And he does the regular f150 here too. Anyway, I just wanted to go over that and I'm going to recap here in a minute Okay, this is mxux. I'm going to try to run these side by side without the sound This is the handling of the two trucks And uh, they're raring to go here. Let's hold back a little bit. They're talking about the 6300 pound weight of this truck on those tiny tires And uh, come on buddy. Let's go. Let's get this thing on the road. Hey He's always Blabber blabber. All right. Let's try and move this ahead a little bit Okay, now they're gonna All right, there they go now Wait a minute. Let's just see. We got him in a slalom there. Now. Let's get the Lordstone Truck in a slalom here There's that Lordstone dash, which I like a lot better actually I think it makes for a more modern and cooler cleaner truck interior with more visual space And uh, let's see here I think they're going in a straight line now All right, there they go. They're they're they're turning And you see I don't know if you can tell here, but There they are side by side going through a slalom I think that uh, the four driver is struggling seems to be struggling a little bit there to Move that thing around Let's just pause it a second Let's see if we can move the Lordstone ahead a little bit till it where it's going through its paces And uh, okay All right now I think this demonstrates it fairly well All right, let's hit this guy And let's hit this guy And you see the Lordstone you see How much smoother it is and uh, I think it's better. I think this guy on the left is uh That truck swaying and everything I I think the Lordstone has better better performance. I think the guy's having less problems, uh steering and um Let's see if we could replay that a little bit They don't really they don't really go on very long with the old Ford Let's we got a chance to see the endurance. Let's see if we can uh There you go See him. He's He's not having such a good time pops there with the old steering wheel he's kind of He really thrown a truck around. He's being kind of careful and kind of taking it nice and slow the endurance is like, uh Hey, let's go for a roller coaster ride soon. I'm saying see how much See how much smoother the That's in my opinion Okay, and why why beat a dead duck here? Let me know in the comments what you think. I think the endurance is uh, is a better handling vehicle. I think that this Kind of shows it. Let's let it play out a little bit here See the endurance is just Hi, this is I'm extra. So I hope you guys like the video I think the endurance Is going to be the only available EV pickup for fleets Next year. I don't think the Ford f 150 is ready I think overall The endurance is a better truck even with the large price difference. I think once these fleet managers Get their spreadsheets out start plugging in numbers. They're going to see the endurance is the better choice And uh, I hope you guys like the video Thanks for watching. Uh, if you could please subscribe Hit a like make a comment. I hate asking for this stuff But uh, I got to get support if I'm going to uh, continue doing these videos because guess what? There aren't there ain't a lot of lords town. Uh, there ain't a lot of the lords town army out there just yet We're coming on strong, but uh, I got to get the word out. All right. Thanks guys
