And here, it's a bit of a mixed bag for the F-150 Lightning compared to its internal-combustion siblings. While those numbers are significant, more important are what you can do with them. Regardless which battery you get, expect 775 pound-feet of torque applied to all four wheels. Go with the lesser of the two battery packs and you're looking at 452 horsepower, or 580 hp if you step up to the extended-range pack. Fully electric, to be clear, powered by either a 98- or 131-kilowatt-hour battery pack delivering between 230 and 320 miles of range. A really good, really useful, really quick truck that's also electric. Now, less than a year later, the F-150 Lightning is fully in production, and a game-changer it is indeed.įord invited me down to San Antonio, Texas to drive its electric F-150, a suitable place to back up the key thing the company wants to reinforce with the Lightning: It's just a truck.
The F-150 Lightning had all the potential in the world to be a true mass-market game-changer. That fact - the sheer significance of this truck's success to Ford's bottom line - made last May's announcement that the company would build an electric F-150 all the more important. Last year, Ford sold more than 725,000 of the things, and that's despite supply-chain issues and everything else going on in the world. The F-Series is the perennial most popular vehicle on the planet.
