How does cold testing a Ford EV truck work? 

In the video above, we see a glimpse of how cold testing in Alaska works. The Ford F-150 Lightning, or whatever vehicle is being tested, is driven in extreme conditions. According to a recent press release from Ford, the engineers can then adjust the calibration of the vehicle’s performance system in real-time while testing. 

What winter driving features does the Ford F-150 Lightning offer? 

The Ford F-150 Lightning is the perfect truck for winter driving. You can see its standard electronic-locking rear differential and its standard dual motors at work in the video above. Here are three other key features for driving in snow that the Ford F-150 Lightning offers. 

  • Selectable drive modes: Use a dial to tell your vehicle what type of environment you’ll be driving in. It will then adjust its performance systems for optimal traction.  
  • Quick torque delivery: Next time you drive in snow, pay attention to how fast your vehicle responds to you. Part of that equation is fast torque delivery, something the Ford F-150 Lightning has because of its front and rear motors and always-on 4×4 drive system. 
  • Low center of gravity: Enjoy more confident handling with the low center of gravity the Ford F-150 Lightning provides. This will make you feel more in control in all driving situations.
