Ford has made a leap in electric vehicle technology and capability. The new all electric F-150 Lightning truck demonstrates innovation with the “Built Ford Tough” endurance you have come to expect. Finally an electric vehicle that is practical for the rest of us.
It’s New and It’s All Electric
This new electric truck is by no means a watered down version of the F-150 truck. The F-150 Lightning is the quickest and most powerful F-150 ever built. That’s right. This electric truck is even more capable than its gasoline powered predecessors. With an estimated 775 pound feet of instant torque, we think you will love it. Unlike gas powered engine, electric motors provide instantaneous torque. The power band is immediate and flat. Zero emissions and more power than you can shake a stick at, the F-150 Lightning truck has it all.
This truck even has a frunk that is large enough to hold up to 400 lbs. It might even change tailgate parties to frunking parties. It could happen. The F-150 Lightning is the truck you saw on the news with the power failures in Texas. It’s intelligent backup power can keep an entire house powered. What other truck can do that?
Performance
The new all electric F-150 Lightning truck is packed with power. On each axle there are dual electric motors that provide that instant torque we talked about above. They also provide 563 horsepower on the extended range model Lightning trucks. That equals heart pounding throw you back in the seat kind of acceleration only provided by performance cars in the past. Your mid-life crisis can now look much more practical with the all new and electric F-150 Lighting. The independent front suspension includes heavy duty shock absorbers standard. The rear suspension includes a rear semi-trailing arm that proves a smooth ride you will appreciate. We are a long way from the jolting ride of the early 1990’s Ford trucks.
Comfort Meets Performance
Stabilizer bars in the front and rear are also standard equipment now. This provides more control when hauling and towing. Making you more comfortable and safer are just a few of the side benefits to the F-150 leap in innovation and technology the F-150 Lightning brings to the truck market.
The battery has been placed in the F-150 with the intention of optimizing the center of gravity and front to rear balance. This attention to detail will again improve your handling and comfort overall. With up to 300 miles of range both the standard range and extended range battery options provide the performance you expect from Ford.
Like other Ford vehicles, the F-150 Lightning also includes selectable driving modes that include: normal, sport, tow/haul, and off-road modes. These modes provide different tuning and control features that optimize your driving performance under these widely differing environments.
