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

Right at 12k. We have towed up to 18k. The ammonia tanks get towed only short distances (they have SMV signs and are *only* supposed to go 30 mph) of 2-5 miles. Its hard to see, but that's a dampered "cushion" hitch to reduce the push/pull that occurs when towing these weights on farm roads that have pot holes etc.

Biggest danger IMO is that over distance, the motors would overheat at these loads. We are traveling slow and short distances. My brother says it performs better than his Silverado 2500 HD, in terms of smooth starts. Since the Lighting weighs as much or more than the Chevy, I'd guess it controls the weight just as well also.

Note the HD F-150 rims with more aggressive tires. Did that due to snow/Ice buildup in winter.

Putting in some trees. First fencing off the areas. Using the power outlet to run my demo hammer with a driving bit to drive the t-posts.

Borrowed a friend's mini for a project.
Only had to tow it 5 miles, so it wasn't much of a test, but neither acceleration nor the regen braking disappointed me, with ~12k in tow.

Towed for the first time this morning. Performed well, range recalculation was comical

Loading up with wood chips for work day distribution at the local disc golf course.

And you might spot The Big Fish

Time to pull the Wakeboat out of storage.

Nautique 210 (fueled) + trailer is ~6000 lbs. Tows easy.
1.0 to 1.1 m/kWh pulling this on the highway at ~65mph.

Stunning picture, Todd! We love to see all the places the Lightning travels to.

Follow up on towing the pontoon this spring. I did a highway test for mileage in prep for a longer road trip planned for later this summer. Got between 0.9 and 1.0 m/kWh towing this boat at 65-70 mph on highway and freeway in a 30 mile test.

Just need my A2Z adapter to arrive and pray the key charging station in Onamia, MN really supports NACS adapter charging as listed. One time I wish I had the ER for a little more headroom on charging in case of unexpected difficulties.

(Not shown in this photo, I had the cover on the boat for the mileage test).

Bad storms south of Austin, TX, so taking a crew to tarp roofs and clear roads and driveways.
