    the Lightning makes an excellent work truck for those who actually need work trucks

    yeah…no

    the non-electric F-150 has multiple bed lengths (5.5’, 6.5’, and 8’)

    the Lightning only offered the 5.5’ “short bed” length

    if you actually need a work truck, the Lightning is deficient in the #1 thing that makes a work truck a work truck.

    for another comparison - the “short bed” option on the F-250 is 6.75’ long, in addition to the 8’ “long bed”.

      The “#1 thing” depends on the application. It can be power, towing capacity, payload capacity, just a bed in general, the massive amount of electrical power available to power tools, passenger capacity, cost of ownership, etc. etc.
