Why Go Electric With the Ford F-150 Lightning
When it comes to electric vehicles, you don’t have to change. With the new Ford F-150 Lightning, you’re upgrading. That’s because the F-150 Lightning is everything you love about America’s favorite full-size pickup — powerful, capable, and a lot of fun to drive — just without an engine under the hood. But with cool tools like Intelligent Backup Power, it’s all of those things you love and so much more.
Built Ford Tough® above all else
It wouldn’t have mattered if Ford had given the F-150 Lightning excellent range, quick charging capabilities, and cutting-edge tech but left out the core characteristics of the F-Series. But Ford isn’t about to deliver anything less than awesome, and that’s just what it’s done with the award-winning F-150 Lightning.
When you think of the Ford F-150, you think of a truck that delivers a lot of power and can use it for everything from going off-road to pulling a trailer. The Ford F-150 Lightning puts out as much as 580 horsepower and 775 lb-ft of torque — that’s more than the F-150 Raptor on both counts — and accelerates faster than any other F-150 ever built.[1]
Want a truck that can tow and haul? This electric truck is excellent. When properly equipped, your Ford F-150 Lightning can tow up to 10,000 pounds[2] or haul 2,235 pounds of payload.[3] For most truck owners, that’s more than enough to get things done without breaking a sweat — or using a drop of gasoline.
The cure for range anxiety
One of the first questions we get at Shults Ford Harmarville about EVs is whether they’re a good choice if you do a lot of driving. And the fact is that the new Ford F-150 Lightning isn’t a good choice — it’s a great choice. That’s because the F-150 Lightning can get 320 miles of range on a full charge with its extended-range battery, which means you could drive to Cleveland and back without having to stop once to charge.[4]
And when you do need to stop off and top up, the Ford F-150 Lightning makes it easy with Intelligent Range and Power My Trip, which tell you when you’ll need to stop and where the nearest charging station is. You’ll have no shortage of options thanks to the BlueOval™ Charge Network, North America’s largest public charging network. Not only are there more than 350 charging stations within 60 miles of Pittsburgh, but there are around 106,000 in-network chargers across the continent.
Another incentive to go electric? Saving green. By switching from gas to electricity, you could stand to save thousands of dollars in fuel costs and maintenance within the first five years of ownership.[5]
One smart truck
The new Ford F-150 Lightning also just so happens to be the most advanced pickup truck that Ford has ever built. One of the coolest features it offers, which you won’t find on any other vehicle in the Ford lineup, is Intelligent Backup Power. This feature allows you to power your home in an outage, keeping you warm and safe even when the weather outside is quite frightful.[6]
