The 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning

The best truck in America has just changed the future of pickup trucks forever. The all-new 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning has struck, and it’s here to change the way you think of electric vehicles.

This is a 100% electric pickup truck that is also 100% Ford, so you know it’s built to perform. The 2022 F-150 Lightning was made to handle any job you throw at it, and it’s packing some serious power. It’s planned to launch with a maximum towing capacity of 10,000 lbs. when properly equipped. That’s power to compete with many trucks on the road without a drop of gas! You can also expect a max payload of 2,000 lbs., so if you need something moved, the F-150 Lightning can get you there. One definite advantage the Lightning has over gas or diesel trucks is torque. Electric vehicles are renowned for their torque, and the F-150 Lightning is packing a whopping 775 pound-feet of torque backed by 563 horsepower! Now that’s some real get-up-and-go!

That’s all very impressive, but you probably expect a truck to move heavy things. What really separates the 2022 F-150 Lightning from the competition is the advanced technology packed into every inch. It’s 100% battery powered, with separate engines for the front and back wheels. These two engines work in concert to provide superior handling and performance with standard four-wheel drive. The standard battery will carry you up to 230 miles on a single charge, and the available extended battery can go the distance with up to 300 miles on a full charge.

Not only will the electric engines save you money on gas, they’re also extremely handy if you need a little juice while camping or on the job site. The F-150 Lightning comes with 11 power outlets that can power tools, lights, or whatever else you need to plug in. It can even light up your house with Ford Intelligent Backup Power! That’s right, in the event that you house loses power you can use the 2022 F-150 Lightning as a backup generator that can power a home for up to 10 days if you are properly rationing.

If that all seems like space-age tech, you haven’t seen anything yet! The 2022 F-150 Lightning will offer an available BlueCruise system* that can actually drive for you! It utilizes a driver-facing camera with radar-sensing technologies to enable hands-free driving on many stretches of highway. These Hands-Free Blue Zones cover up to 100,000 miles of North American roads and could make your commute a lot easier. The available Phone as a Key feature allows you to access your F-150 Lightning right from your phone, and Intelligent Range will give you an accurate battery range based on a number of variables like weather, route, grade, traffic, payload, and more! It will even adjust your range on the fly as conditions change.
