Four years after Ford bravely electrified its best-selling vehicle, the F-150 Lightning pickup, it seemed ready to drop the model owing to slowing demand. Now, it turns out the company's got other plans.

The move comes as a response to the Trump administration’s waning support for electrification and a weakening consumer market.

Ford says the next generation of the F-150 Lightning pickup truck will transition to a range-extended EV powertrain.

Ford also says the new truck will offer the same clever charging and power tech as the current model. This means a bed full of sockets for powering tools, camping gear, compressors and just about anything else, from the F-150’s massive battery. It’ll even keep your house online during a power cut.

The operating reality has changed, and we are redeploying capital into higher-return growth opportunities,” Ford CEO Jim Farley said.
