Boron Extrication An in-depth look into vehicle extrication and rescues involving today's automobiles
Ford F-150 Lightning
Like anything else, supply and demand. The F-150 Lightning EV Truck is hard to find at a dealer, but that doesn’t mean you will not see these vehicles on the road.

This is extremely important when using struts on a side-resting vehicle. However, the underside of this truck still leaves plenty of options for strut use.
