"...the diesels range was around 360ish..." Really? My Dodge 3500 has a range of 620 miles.I bought a Lightning last year and absolutely love it! I went from a 2019 F-250 with the 6.7 diesel to this truck, I was worried I wouldn't like it as much, I was also worried about towing a trailer. The lightning out tows that diesel any day and more surprisingly, it out stops it with a heavy trailer. I'm not saying there aren't limitations, as the mileage range is significantly reduced with a trailer. However I don't plan to tow anything more than 100 miles or so which makes it work for me. I haven't towed any large profile trailers with the lightning such as a camper, so I don't know how it would do in wind with a trailer like that.
The thing I like the most about the lightning is the acceleration! It funny to see the Corvette drivers looking at me dumbfounded as I fly past them in a 7,000# pickup truck
Other big plus is it is cheaper to fill up, for 340-mile range it is around $12 the diesels range was around 360ish if i remember right and around $90 to fill up.
