The F-150 Lightning is fast, fun, and comfortable — and you probably don't need one

• I lived with a $98,000 Ford F-150 Lightning for a week. 
• The experience showed me why people love trucks.  
• But it also gave me a front-row seat to America's silly obsession with huge vehicles. 

Recently I got the opportunity to live with Ford's electric pickup truck, the F-150 Lightning, for a week.

Having spent most of my life in New York City as a member of the dainty, transit-loving coastal elite, this was my first time cosplaying as a truck owner for any extended period. And I've got to admit, I kind of loved it.
