The competition doesn’t slow down, and the Ford F-150 Lightning electric pickup truck can’t, either.

Raptor has been a boon for the F-150 lineup, boosting sales and image ever since Ford introduced the Baja-inspired truck in 2010. So why wouldn't you take the hot F-150 Lightning and give it the Raptor treatment to keep things sizzling—once Ford catches up with all the orders for the regular Lightning? F-Series is Ford's crown jewel, and even though the Lightning has great performance as is, competition is fierce.

, a gas-burning truck designed to take on the 702-hp, 650-lb-ft Ram 1500 TRX. But a Lightning Raptor will have to ward off a growing number of electric pickups with impressive specs. To wear the Raptor name, the Lightning needs to follow the recipe of the first two generations, which means muscular flared fenders, albeit applied to the Lightning's more aero-focused body.

Ford also has another all-new electric F-Series planned. The company is most likely going smaller—Ford CEO Jim Farley has ruled out an electric F-250, F-350, or F-450 for now., which is in a segment that continues to gain popularity. At some point there will also be an electric version of the Ford Maverick, the car-based small lifestyle pickup available now with a hybrid powertrain.
