I like the Lightning but as a practical matter it's a little bit of a tough sell. Pickups are so terribly inefficient to begin with that it needs a boatload of battery just to have acceptable range. That's expensive, and also increases the time it takes to charge. I commend Ford for the ambition to make an electric version of their best selling vehicle, but I think that segment will be stronger when 200+ kWh batteries are affordable and flattish 350kW charge rates are the norm.
