First 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning Pickups Are Now Being Delivered
A day-one reservation holder received their Ford F-150 Lightning this morning, potentially becoming the first owner.www.thedrive.com
That Airstream is at least a 23 foot. Will be interested to see if there is any follow up on his towing. Maybe a circle back from the journalist in one year.Completely unsurprising that the early adopter also has an Airstream.

I'm looking at picking up a 19-20' Airstream in the long run, so I'm interested as well. Another useful data point would be how long can you run the trailer's AC & other systems off it when remote camping.That Airstream is at least a 23 foot.

We used to tow a 23 Airstream International 5000 lbs with propane and batteries. Always found a way for another thousand pounds of stuff in it. With the 10000 towing capacity on the Ford right at 60% is which is good. Would love to know his discharge rate while towing even though I don't tow anymore.
Ford tests the F-150 Lightning towing capacity in extreme conditions, stays mum on the battery discharge rate
Ford F-150 Lightning already proved that its specs are better than they are on paper by covering 20 miles more on the grueling EPA range test than it is officially supposed to. The next test is of its towing capacity in the extreme heat and cold of the Davis Dam and Colorado's Gauntlet.www.notebookcheck.net

all a matter of how much $$$ people are willing to pay. Even with batteries getting cheaper ... the battery size needed for trucks and longer range is still stupid high. the extended range F150 uses a ~130kwh battery ; the 400miles+ rated upcoming R1T needs a whopping 180 kwh battery. That's significantly more capacity than 2x Model Y AWD batteries... A truck with 400+ miles of range (= up to 200 miles of range towing if it's cut in 1/2) will cost north of $100k... and no- there will be no Tesla Cybertruck with 500+ miles of range for less than that... if you tow a lot you're better off with a F250/F350/HD/SuperDuty type of truck and a big Diesel engine.YEP which is why a truck needs more range or some form of range extender.
not sure if you can do ~150 miles with a loaded trailer in 90 minutes... sounds more like 2 hours of driving before charging assuming you are going something like 60-70mph on the highwaySo loaded with passengers towing a trailer will get you around an hour and a half of driving before charging.
So effectively with the extended range battery:Update: First towing report, 50% of rated range

I’ve been curious about this for a long time. What changes to a home is needed to even allow usage of your vehicle as a battery? Just disconnect fromHow sound before others add the truck 'PowerWall'?

Ford dealers in KY are getting the Lightening now. Some dealers are marking them up and some dealers are selling them for MSRP
Ouch!
edited.... it wasn't a real test. The guy hooked up his trailer, drove for a bit, and extrapolated the data.
note: that was probably the most expensive camping trip per mile ever recorded. Truck $90,000, airstream $90,000, 30 mile drive.....priceless!
