Except u dont get ya car at camp because its off at the changing station. QUESTION..... How much did it cost to charge it back up at the shop?

Needs LS6 chev motor and Auto , and full custom retrim in brown leather with sound deadening ,

The oil drinkers comments haha

Firsts off great vid really enjoyed it , interesting test of vehicles but not a true reflection there was a cost of charging the EV as it was charged before hand . Was there any lights on ,aircon ,radio whilst driving .and towing bot would be different from towing a full size caravan due to height . What would be good is to to drive it for a good distance and charging at the charge stations ,and get a time on how long to charge and how much to charge it as I believe it is quite expensive ,that would be good information . You did give an honest answer in relation to what this vehicle is suitable for which is stay close to home or charge stations , Thanks mat unbiased option as always . You’re not bad on the back of the boat well done mate .

I think they are a awesome idea just as you say though they are not there yet for long distance. Unless you have a van and are stopping heaps at powered sites. The best thing about them is if you are at a powerd site you can park up for a few days and change it up. Saving heaps on fuel

My problem it’s going to be worth nothing in resale or once the battery’s are buggered we are already seeing it with teslas

Can’t charge it out in the middle of the Kimberley’s ,2 big to drive around the city ,yeah it would tow good and they are nice trucks I’d prefer the petrol

Last time I was there the creepy manager was spotted by his red light on his body cam watching us at 11pm at night! Forget the car just don't go there

You’re doing a bloody good job pooooooly love the vids man

Already been shown that it’s useless. It never had a 500km range to start with. Ford just says it does. Nice try trying to make it sound good. Hardly an “absolute win”, you forgot the $150k for the privilege

how much are these in Australia

Not going to waste my time watching this elec vehicle's are rubbish will never own one

Its called " decell regen "

Don't do this boys selling out is never the way, EVs are dangerous. I want to be able to open my door regardless of computer signals thanks.

Brilliant video mate. Well covered and spoken on the Lightning test. What beautiful backyard you have there in Queensland.

Priority 1, save the beer.

Not quite sure who's the dope you or the truck

Good EP Mat. Interesting! Unfortunately I won’t ever have issue of needing to know if my $230k Ute will tow my $250k boat to camp. That’s a rich man’s problem.

"thirsty as all buggery"...how thirsty actually is ALL buggery?

WOW, a whole 200km (124 miles) range. That's pathetic. In the US, that isn't enough range to get from my house to one of the major lakes. YES, the Rebel uses a lot of petrol, but how hard is it to refill? I'm sure there are petrol stations fairly conveniently located to refuel and it won't take but a few minutes to do so.

They already quit making them in the US. A city daily driver it would be fine. Towing the range is trash.

Lightning...a towing dream. That about sums it up...EV towing remains nothing but a dream. How much petrol the RAM used is irrelevant because the Lightning cost at least twice as much...and that's before you pay for the home charger, pay for the electricity, and factor in the massive depreciation.

No good EV in WA 22ft boat is a dingy

And how will you be able to charge once a despotic government places you on one of their lists? Gasoline is like cash and they hate not having control.

Saved the beer....... you my friend just earned a life long subscription for that effort!

👍👍👍

Sorry but you come across as a shill for EV’s. You should be honest and call the lightening for what it is, a joke, even the Ford USA CEO was honest enough to say so. Ford's CEO took the company's electric F-150 Lightning vehicle for a ride from Silicon Valley to Las Vegas, documenting his experiences on social media along the way. He admitted in a video posted Aug. 13 to his account on X that “charging has been pretty challenging. Also it seems ford has stopped making them due to an ‘un-disclosed’,quality issue.

Typical EV propaganda, he gave us the figures for the petrol dollars then made zero mention about the cost of recharging the other. Even if it’s substantially less it is far from free.

Most people camp out of there cars so having to park it away from where you want to camp isn’t going to work for most.

I know you have to promote the electric rig and they try to push these cars into the market but let’s be dead honest here… that’s a pile of heavy metal nonsense for Australia…

Jimny or samurai

Do that same test after the battery has been used everyday for 12 months as that will also see how the battery's are and how long they last as I know over time and constant charging batteries start to loose there holding charge. You said yes you can go there and back but no that is wrong as you had to charge it. Next time do it again but do not charge it as you didnt top the fuel up in the ram. Electric will never replace fuel or diesel. Do the same test but with a fully loaded tradies trailer out on the job site all day and used the same as they use it on site for the day and i bet you will not make it to a charging station and if you do you will now get home at midnight from work.

They might drive better but in Australia? Maybe for city commuting where the batteries and car are parked outside.

The idea of a weekend away and having to charge the car over night away from the camp is the most non ausie thing to date

All i can see is don't by a Ram and they drink to much and don't buy the electric Ford as you will be going no where fast

They must have paid you well. I can't get an honest review these days. They is a place for electric cars towing and long distance travelling is not it.

So when you have eight F150 Lightnings all needing that charge station at the lake camp ground on a long weekend - someone isnt getting home are they? Long way to go before EVs are even close to meeting expectations.

What a sell out hahaha

Ev 😅

Put a honda genny in the frunk too charge it in remote areas and compare the fuel used too recharge it Good vid

The RAM didn't need to refuel but you recharged the Ford 35% (1/3 of the tank) just to make it home... hardly a fair comparison.

Cracking Job, Really enjoy.your content!

Would be interesting to see the cost comparison with how much it cost to charge some of those re charge points are apparently quite expensive and then also a 5yr rough servicing cost on standard maintenance especially with the battery replacement cost. Otherwise it's great to see what the EVs r capable off it will be a while till they can compete with the remote accessibility of a good petrol or diesel rig though.

What if 2 electrics show up at the same charger? Just plan a extra day if your second.

Yeah lets go buy an f-150..... In electric form 😂 what kinda goose would even bother 😂🤡 diesel all day ill take the power stroke 250 for similar price

A waste of my time.

Boys! Don't worry about the gas cannisters, I pulled into camp one afternoon & realised I didn't bring the tent! The tarp between two trees it was for me for the next 5 nights. 🤣

So it’s not practical for Australia 😂, and for 250k, it’ll be interesting to see how many they sell. A American UA-cam channel did a comparison with the standard size tyres on the F150 and the range was still horrible haha.

in some ways its the greatest vehicle on earth. its very fast, comfortable, spacious, quiet, not ugly, handles well, can tow, decent offroad, practical, carry a payload, and can power your house. quite the list

That's not a fair comparison at all you had to charge it at the lake otherwise you wouldn't have made it home
