    Ford F-150 Lightning

    Latest Model

    2022 Model Redesign Year
    The Lightning is Ford's first fully electric pickup. The standard-range battery has an EPA-estimated range of 240 miles. We got 270 miles during our 70-mph highway-range test of the extended-range-battery truck. The maximum DC fast charging acceptance rate is 150 kilowatts, very slow considering the 131-kilowatt-hour battery pack. The powerful truck delivers quick, whisper-quiet acceleration. The independent rear suspension gives the Lightning a more comfortable ride than the regular F-150, though handling is still lumbering.
    Higher trims have a giant infotainment screen, but it forces some extra steps for common functions and adds to driver distraction. The power-operated hood reveals a large front trunk. The Lightning with the extended-range battery has a 1,952-pound payload capacity and up to 10,000 pounds towing, but for only a short distance.

    2022-Present

    2022 Model Redesign Year
    The Lightning name returns on an electrified F-150 crew cab truck with prodigious power and strong work capabilities. On sale in spring 2022, this pickup is offered in two power configurations, with 426- and 563-hp. The standard-range battery promises 230 miles of range, and the extended-range battery is projected to provide up to 300 miles. Among the benefits for going electric is a large front trunk that can hold two sets of golf clubs. Further, the F-150 Lightning boasts up to a 2,000-pound payload capacity (standard range) and 10,000-pound tow capacity (extended range). Power plugs in the frunk and bed add to the truck’s versatility.
    And familiar innovations carry over from the regular F-150, such as foldaway gear selector and deeply reclining seats. The Ford Co-Pilot 360 2.0 suite is standard, with FCW, AEB with pedestrian detection, BSW, lane keeping assist, parking obstruction warning, and rear automatic braking. BlueCruise is available. Production of the 2025 Lightning has been discontinued. The next-generation Lightning will be an extended-range electric vehicle with an onboard generator, promising a range of up to 700 miles.
