To make it distinct.

The new Ford F150 Lightning actually looks like the standard gasoline truck it's based on.

    And as it turns out, it wasn't enough to keep it alive.

    Their EV marketing sucks ass, probably intentionally. I own an EV and I loved the Ford Lightning back when it first came out. I had no idea the new Lightning was an EV until I happened to see one in person and even that was luck that I happened to notice it.

    Watch Will Prowse's videos on the Lightning he owned. He was not a fan, and I think he ended up getting a replacement that was just as bad, and he finally unloaded it. And Prowse is a rabid EV-solar guy, but he doesn't put up with shit. Can't say I'd be in a hurry to buy one and I really want an EV pickup.
