Pics of Lightning Trucks Doing Truck Things. Post Yours! 📸

that’s awesome! how long did it last? was it a ER battery? what was your starting and ending percentage? i’m curious if I should plan to use mine for my daughter‘s birth party

Just seeing this - remember, no matter what you're powering off your truck, compared to actually driving it the usage will be miniscule.

If you found something that took the full 30 amps continuously the bed-based 240V plug can handle, you'd be pulling approximately 7 kW. So, 7% of your power each hour on a standard range, 5% on an ER. And those inflatables aren't pulling anywhere near that.

I run a full tailgate setup with lights, fans, TV, coffee pot, etc. over a couple hours before football games and don't even notice. The only time I worry at all about something plugged into my truck is if I'm going to be skirting it within a % or two of what I need to get home.

Emergency powering of furnace to heat the house during a blackout that lasted two days ... (and fridge, microwave, TV, etc. more stuff plugged in the back)

Delivering materials to the job. The bed camera is great and the scales are pretty cool

That's a beautiful F-150 Lightning, Mike! And we couldn't agree more, the on-board scales make towing a whole lot safer and easier!

Lighting Vac Truck.

Chasing a leak on a 300’ poly line buried 32”-36” deep. Ugh. The 3” shop vac works great though long arms necessary to cut roots. I clamped my big grinder to the tailgate, locked it on, put a dull point taper on a 1/4” rod to probe for that damned waterline. I’m to old for this. I found like 4 abandon telecom cables in various states of dis-repair. All less than a foot below the surface.

Towing a Cybertruck (apx 6800 lbs payload + ~4000 lbs trailer).

4 tubas, 5 euphoniums, 2 bass clarinets, conga and a Bari sax….

Transporting instruments for our middle school band. The Lightning‘s ability to transport stuff is insane

As a former band geek and player of both tubas and euphoniums, this is amazing.

Hauling maple sap because the Unimog broke down.

do you know how much that thing weighs when it is full?

It's a 1000L (250G) tank, and 1L of water = 1kg, the difference in weight between maple sap and water is negligible, so full it would be 1000kg or 2204lb.

I only have to move it ~800m but even so I probably wouldn't haul it full in the Lightning, but have done so many times on the back of the Unimog.

Did a late night run to the hardware store last night. I just so happen to have browsed through this thread earlier in the day so when I found myself doing "truck stuff" with the Lightning, I figured I'd snap a picture and share!

That's awesome, Nate! And with a network of lights illuminating the perimeter of the F-150 Lightning, you can always keep working or playing into the night!
