The curb weight of the Lightning seems to be approximately the same as the ICE F150s. 4600-5000lbs. Batteries are heavy, but so are engines and transmissions.

The battery being low should dramatically improve the safety of the vehicle by improving stability.

It's still a huge vehicle, though. It would be nice if we trended smaller, and left vehicles like this to people who actually need it.

The new Lightning comes in around 6500 lbs. Maybe you saw a number for the old Lightning from the 90s, which was around 4600 lbs.

My mistake then. I read a response post to the new vehicle that claimed it would come in at 5000lbs. Can't find anything authoritative, but everyone seems to be speculating more around 6500 as you said.
