The F-150 Lightning Lariat zips from 0 to 60 mph in 3.8 seconds and on through the quarter mile in 12.4 seconds at 106.9 mph, while the Platinum's bests were 4.0 seconds to 60 mph and 12.7 seconds at 105.9 mph. That makes the F-150 Lightning Lariat the quickest F-150 we've ever tested and the third-quickest pickup we've ever tested, just behind the 2022 Rivian R1T (3.1 seconds, 11.6 seconds at 110.8 mph) and 2022 GMC Hummer EV pickup (3.0 seconds, 11.7 seconds at 105.4 mph).

I was reading an article the other day about how hard the Lightning pulls. IIRC it was the owner of a dealership who was taking a friend for a ride in a new one and while his friend was looking at the center screen he punched it. He said his friends head snapped back into the seat and his sunglasses flew into the backseat. lol

There is another video out from a very popular Youtube couple who travel around the country in a travel trailer called Keep Your Daydream. They took out a Lightning on a test run and were also super impressed how hard it pulled. These trucks have some serious torque and I can't wait until the range improves.
