2026 Ford F-150 Lightning review
Ford F-150 Lightning: capability first, comfort close behind. Illustrative review
8.6/10 OffLot expert score
The 2026 Ford F-150 Lightning sits near the top of its class. Strong tow and payload ratings for the class; cab is quiet at highway speed. Fuel economy drops sharply when towing and tall step-in height, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $60,000, it lines up with most direct rivals.

Bought it for the weekend hauling and a daily commute and it has handled everything so far. Fuel economy has been close to the sticker in mixed driving.
