Maximum available payload is 2,235 pounds (1,014 kg), which includes the 400-pound (180 kg) payload of the front trunk (called a "frunk" by Ford). The Ford F-150 Lightning was also evaluated to reach 62 mph (100 km/h) in 4.5 seconds.

Electrek reported that the range with no load, just a driver and the truck, appeared to be closer to 400 mi (640 km). EPA range estimates of 230–300 mi (370–480 km) produced by Ford in May 2021 were based on 1,000 lb (450 kg) of cargo carried in the truck. This electric truck has a standard battery and can travel 230 mi (370 km) on a single charge. The truck can also supply up to 9.6 kW of power through up to eleven 120V and 240V electrical outlets distributed around the truck.

The F-150 Lightning in some trim packages, in concert with the "80 A Ford Charge Station pro with Ford Intelligent Backup Power capability," can provide household-oriented V2G power, which can meet the electrical needs of a typical American home for three to ten days.

Like Tesla, the Ford F-150 Lightning is announced to include over-the-air software updates, and a significant software driving aids which will allow limited hands-off highway driving, but fall short of full self-driving. The active suspension provides real-time load weighing function. All models have 775 ft⋅lb (1,051 N⋅m) of torque, full-time 4wd, independent rear suspension, and will initially come in a crew-cab configuration only, with a 5.5 ft (1.7 m) bed. The base configuration has 452 hp (337 kW), 230 mi (370 km) range, and its smaller battery supports a 2,000 lb (910 kg) payload. Higher priced Lariat and Platinum models are priced up to US$90,000. Starting price is US$39,974 for the "commercial-grade Lightning Pro" fleet version while the "mid-series" XLT model starts at US$52,974. In June 2022, 2,886 F-150 Lightnings were recalled due to a software issue that could prevent the low tire pressure warning from adequately functioning. The first pickup was manufactured on 18 April 2022, and delivered to a customer on 26 May. įord had received more than 120,000 refundable orders for the Lightning by the end of July, in December 200,000 for a 3-year backlog.

īy late May 2021, Ford had begun discussing other electric trucks beyond the F-series, such as the Expedition and Navigator, which are intended to be underpinned by their full-size EV truck chassis, as well as a smaller chassis which will be used for the Bronco, Explorer, and Aviator. 100,000 $100 reservations were reached by 11 June 2021 and Ford announced that a more official order bank would open later in 2021, as well that the company would offer digital services for subscription revenue that will change car sales from a single-time transaction process. įord received 44,500 refundable-deposit orders in the first two days after the announcement, and a further 25,000 in the next two days after that. įord unveiled the truck, and released the model name on, with production planned for spring of 2022. Chief engineer for the F-150, Linda Zhang, emphasized at the time that Ford intended to take the "built Ford tough durability, capability, and productivity and a whole new arena" of electric trucks. This culminated in a record-setting demonstration test tow of 1,250,000 pounds (570,000 kg) on rails. In July 2019, Ford tested prototype electric test mules on existing F-150 chassis. Ford announced the intention to produce a fully-electric light pickup at the 2019 Detroit Auto Show, in January 2019.
