Ford F-150 Lightning XLT Extended Range

Why #55

• Familiar F-150 with house backup power; slow charging and Ford ended BEV production.
• Strongest on practicality (71) and market proof (sales) (54); weakest on efficiency (40).
• Sits below #54 Cadillac Lyriq-V V-Series AWD mainly on efficiency (54 vs 40).
• Beats #56 BMW i5 eDrive40 on practicality (71 vs 33).

Heads-up: Ford announced end of Lightning BEV production in late 2025 — buy remaining inventory, check deals.
