In the all-electric arena two champions emerge - the 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning and the 2023 Rivian R1T. Both trucks promise superior mid-size performance and advanced battery responses; but only one offers the tech options Lloydminster drivers crave.Anchoring the new Lightning line-up is the SYNC 4 infotainment console. This system blends Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capabilities with SiriusXM streaming. A 12-inch touchscreen affords seamless engagements, boasting advanced voice-recognition software and crisp pixels; while the FordPass Connect suite delivers integrated 4G LTE hot-spots into the cabin, allowing passengers to power up to 10 devices simultaneously.

While the new Rivian does offer a dual-display touchscreen, it fails to deliver the connectivity options drivers need - lacking Apple CarPlay or Android Auto compatibility. This will compromise content options, with only Alexa integration available. The difference will be clearly felt on every adventure.
