2022 Ford F-150 Lightning Dances in the Snow

Roadshow got an exclusive ridealong in this all-electric truck to experience how it handles frigid temperatures and icy roads.

Craig brought 15 years of automotive journalism experience to the Cars team. A lifelong resident of Michigan, he's as happy with a wrench or welding gun in hand as he is in front of the camera or behind a keyboard. When not hosting videos or cranking out features and reviews, he's probably out in the garage working on one of his project cars. He's fully restored a 1936 Ford V8 sedan and then turned to resurrecting another flathead-powered relic, a '51 Ford Crestliner. Craig has been a proud member of the Automotive Press Association (APA) and the Midwest Automotive Media Association (MAMA).

This engineering mule has been put through the wringer to ensure the Lightning is just as durable as other F-Series trucks.

Thanks to its locking rear differential, the Lightning should be a capable off-roader.
