The electric truck market is set for exciting times in 2022, with Ford Motor Co. unleashing its first mass-produced all-electric pickup truck – the F-150 Lightning. The F-150 Lightning electric pickup truck is considered "the smartest, most innovative truck" to roll off the carmaker's assembly line. The electric truck is the first product of Ford's $22 billion war chest dubbed the global electric vehicle plan to turn its popular franchises, including the F-150, into zero-emissions cars.
Super Powers Only Electric Can Deliver
Ford is determined to extend F-Series' reputation as "America's best-selling truck" well into the future. The carmaker has harnessed all the advantages of electrification and technological advancement to transform the F-150 Lightning into a literal powerhouse.
At 775 lb. ft of torque, the Lightening delivers the highest torque in the F-Series family. Couple that with a targeted 563 horsepower, and you're in for the most exhilarating ride of your life. Unlike the gas-powered variety, the F-150 Lightning comes with a high-tech “frunk” to double your storage space.
This electric truck can serve as an emergency generator and power your entire home during a blackout.
Advanced Tech Now – to Guide You into the Future
F-150 Lightning features a dynamic range of intelligent features to supercharge your driving experience. Most notable is the FordPass app that supports the charging system and the remote functions of the truck. The optional Blue Cruise puts you in the same league as Tesla to provide an authentic hand-free driving experience while cruising down the highways. The enhanced Pro Power Onboard delivers ready access to power while on job sites or camping with your loved ones.
No Question: Built Ford Tough Comes Standard
The all-electric F-150 Lightning delivers every ounce of reliability you have come to expect from a Ford F-150, minus the roaring engine. It ships with a standard 4x4, and the two onboard electric motors provide power to glide smoothly and quietly on the road.
It retains the Built Ford Tough capability and durability and will readily meet your off-road needs without missing a beat. The F-150 Lightning ships with a military-grade aluminum alloy chassis and an independent rear suspension system for improved handling and riding comfort.
With its new and improved frame, the strongest ever F-150 in history, the Lightening boasts a 2,000-pound payload capacity and can tow up to 10,000 pounds of payload at cruising speeds.
Ford F-150 Lightning
Aptly named F-150 Lightning, the electric version of the Ford F-150 retains its classic looks and largely resembles the gas-powered half-ton truck. Ford's first mass-produced electric truck preserves its crew-cab body style and 5.5-foot bed but rides on an all-new chassis to accommodate the all-wheel drive and a dual electric motor.
The Lightning also features a new fully independent suspension for additional riding comfort compared to its predecessor's solid leaf springs and live rear axle suspension.
The all-new electric Ford F-150 will come in four trim levels – Pro, XLT, Lariat, and Platinum. The base model, F-150 Lightning Pro, comes with a standard 98 kWh battery pack to provide 426 horsepower and a 230-mile range on a single charge. You can opt for the extended range model, which offers 775 lb-ft of torque, 563 hp, and increases the truck's range to 300 miles.
The F-150 Lightning is a 5-passenger, four-door maverick with one surprising feature. If you opt for the Ford Intelligent Backup Power System and 80-amp Ford Charge Station Pro, the F-150 Lightning can double as an emergency power source. The kit enables the compact truck to generate up to 9.6 kW of energy, enough to power a standard home for three days during a power outage.
An F-150 Lightning comes with a standard battery pack, a 2,000 lbs. payload capacity, the option to extend its towing capacity to 10,000 pounds with the optional Max Trailer Tow Package. The base model retails under $40,000, making it the cheapest electric pickup truck on the market. The automaker is currently accepting reservations for 2022 deliveries.
