I have no affiliation wit this site. Actually I had never been to or heard of this site. I just thought this article included a lot of pictures I had not seen before.

Like most reviews, they haven't told us anything we don't know yet. We really need them to get a truck and test it to disclose what they are really getting for mileage.

Excellent review, guy seems to know his stuff, love how he just started scooting around under the demo chassis towards the end of the video too. :)

The Autopian is a great new site. It's made up of all the good people that left Jalopnik, including David Tracy who wrote that article.

Good point about the torque steer. I did not see that mentioned in the other reviews I've watched (Kyle, TFL, Doug).

You weren't kidding - great photos of components "under the hood," suspension, and frame. This is awesome. Thank you!
I second this, I felt like I was 100% going to be disappointed based on OPs title, but it's actually good stuff.

I’ll second this. Long time jalopnik appreciator, but honestly over the last few years David and Torch were really the ones I enjoyed reading. The Autopian is just getting going, but so far it’s really great. Today’s review is an excellent representation of their style.

Yes, it is VERY good to know how much torque steer is present with the new Lightning as I heard the same remark by nerdy reviewer: Kyle on Out of Spec Review.

I am hopeful that Ford can adjust or make available a user setting to change the amount of motor drive from front to rear to counteract torque steer.

No one should be surprised it has torque steer as it has almost 800 foot lbs of torque and nearly 600HP!
