The 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning full-size all-electric pickup is a thunderbolt that strikes at the heart of a market speeding towards fostering of electrical cars. That heart is formed like, well, the American full-size pickup market.



The F-150 has been the best-selling vehicle for 44 years running, as well as Ford has actually damaged it big time to generate the brand-new electric Lightning. (Ford made use of the name formerly on its SVT-branded efficiency pick-up discontinued after the 2004 version year.) The F-150's burning engine is replaced with batteries and also electric motors, usually a trivial, regulation-satisfying pivot in today's vehicle market, however on a high-volume vehicle such as the F-150, it potentially represents a seismic change-- not just for Ford but likewise for the market and also its total fostering of EVs. And also with the base work truck carrying a starting rate of $41,669 (the MSRP minus the required destination charges is simply under $40,000, and it gets approved for Federal and also state EV tax obligation rewards), Ford sends a strong message that you don't need deep pockets to go electrical.

The Lightning does not change the "routine" F-150. It instead expands the truck family members with a smoother, much more wind resistant electrical version with cool lighting and also wheels. It comes just with the four-door SuperCrew cab and a 5.5-foot bed. The look is distinct, with traces of Mustang Mach-E, but continues to be instantaneously well-known as an F-150. Ford leadership told the truck's designers it didn't desire the 2022 Lightning to resemble a scientific research experiment.



Why should a devoted pickup truck customer take into consideration the 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning when it goes on sale in May 2022? Because it flaunts few concessions yet provides different outstanding functions that may make the conventional truck appear like a straight-out Luddite.

A couple of essential F-150 Lightning specifications:



The 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning is a five-passenger SuperCrew taxi with a 5.5-foot bed. These are the same dimensions as its traditional counterpart, meaning typical accessories as well as equipment will work and fit all the same.

Optimum payload of 2,000 pounds, of which 400 pounds can go in the frunk where the engine made use of to be.

It can tow up to 10,000 extra pounds.

With prolonged battery: 563 horsepower, 775 lb-ft of torque, and also a driving range of about 300 miles on a single fee.

With conventional battery: 426 hp, 775 lb-ft, and a range of about 230 miles.

Front and also back electric motors supply typical four-wheel drive, and skidplates shield the underbody while off-roading.

It retains the full-size spare tire in the back.



Just as sudden as an actual lightning strike, the F-150 Lightning becomes the quickest and most effective F-150 in the lineup. Ford estimates it can increase from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 4.4 seconds. The quickest Ford F-150 MotorTrend has tested was the previous-generation off-road Raptor model, with an ideal time of 5.2 seconds.



One more key point: The 2022 Ford Lightning ends up being the initial F-150 to get an independent back suspension-- necessary for packaging the rear electric motor-- along with its corresponding benefits to ride and dealing with. The vehicle does not have air suspension.



In other words, the Lightning not only goes electric yet also addresses usual grievances people have of a lot of vehicles: gas economic climate, ride, as well as handling.

Just how Else Does The Lightning Differ From The Typical F-150?

Riding on a brand-new EV system, with the latest electrical architecture as well as fourth-generation electronics, the F-150 Lightning ends up being the smartest and most connected truck in Ford's schedule, offering a brand-new wealth of attributes and also apps, in addition to a giant 15.5-inch touchscreen to access a number of them.



It additionally makes it easier to receive over-the-air software program updates throughout its lifetime to attend to potential problems as well as to likewise upgrade and also add new functions, such as better maps, smooth billing and also settlement, or enhanced BlueCruise, Ford's hands-free highway-driving aid system.



Please Repeat That Starting MSRP Again ...

Maybe one of the most shocking Lightning feature is its starting cost. As stated, the base job truck starts at $41,669 and also is available for both retail and fleet consumers. It is one of four trims; the others are the popular XLT (which starts at $54,669), Lariat (beginning cost forthcoming), as well as Platinum (concerning $90,000).



For contrast, the 2022 GMC Hummer EV electric pickup launches this autumn with the totally loaded Version 1, which starts at $112,595. The lowest trim, the EV2, runs $79,995 as well as won't be offered till 2024. You can acquire 2 Lightning XLTs for the cost of a Hummer Version 1. An additional rival, the 2021 Rivian R1T that takes place sale next month, begins at $67,500. Tesla continues to develop the Cybertruck, which it wants to sell for $39,900, but past experience suggests it will certainly sticker label for far more, and also the launch day, potentially by year end, may be fluid going on late.



Ford is taking bookings for the Lightning now, needing a $100 deposit to hop on the checklist. Officials won't claim the number of orders will certainly constitute a sold-out very first design year, but the business anticipates solid demand. Concerning 2,300 of Ford's 3,000 U.S. suppliers are accredited to offer as well as service EVs, and the Lightning at first will just be readily available in North America.



Meet Ford's New Skateboard (And Also Battery).

The 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning has actually remained in the help regarding three years, and also it is the initial car on a new dedicated electric-vehicle platform. The skateboard was designed from scratch with a new framework placing the battery pack between the rails, extending in between the front and also rear motors. There are no strategies to include a third electric motor for performance. An exoskeleton, water resistant casing, and also full-body steel skidplates secure the battery.



Ford did not disclose the dimension of the Lightning's pouch-style lithium-ion battery loads. The high-energy-density cells use a nickel-manganese-cobalt cathode chemistry with specifically low cobalt loading. They will certainly originate from the new SK Development battery plant in Georgia. For repair services, specialists will have the ability to remove suitcase-sized areas of the battery.



The skateboard is flat as well as low, which makes packing items into the front trunk (frunk) simpler. The front suspension was also boosted to give the frunk a haul of 400 pounds.



Batteries are heavy, as well as the vehicle weighs about 6,500 extra pounds, roughly 1,000 more than the exact same associate the 3.5-liter engine. The batteries alone consider about 1,800 extra pounds, Ford officials informed President Joe Biden throughout an excursion of the Rouge Facility in Dearborn, Michigan, where the vehicle will be constructed. Biden later on took one of the Lightnings for a spin in an empty great deal, with an U.S. Secret Service agent in the traveler seat. "This fool's fast," the u.s. president said afterward.

At a DC quickly charger, the extended-range Lightning can get 54 miles of array in 10 minutes and also charge from 15 to 80 percent in concerning 41 minutes.

The Lightning makes use of 400-volt billing, as compared to 800-volt billing for the Hummer.

Looks Issue.

Ford opted for one of the most prominent configuration for the Lightning-- SuperCrew-- and also it does not prepare to add others. The additional freight space in the frunk somewhat negates the need for a longer bed.



Lighting is key to the look. Light bars extend the lorry's width front as well as back, making it look a bit extra futuristic. Fronts lights as well as taillamps have their own trademark form, and exterior zone lights encloses the automobile. There are likewise lights in the frunk and also in the bed.



The blacked-out chrome grille (which matches the chrome on the beltline) is connected to the hood; they open as a device to access the frunk. The wheels have an aerodynamic diagonal design and also can be found in 18-, 20-, and also 22-inch sizes. The F-150 Lightning likewise sports a brand-new, lengthened, aerodynamic running board.



The word "Lightning" is in manuscript on the sides of the bed, as well as the tailgate displays a Lightning badge with an American flag badge. The latter concept seems popular; it can be located on Jeeps and also on the new Hummers.



Interior, Tailgate, As Well As Box.

The taxi is greatly the like the traditional F-150, with a huge exemption: Ford revamped the control panel to suit a 15.5-inch vertical touchscreen for Lariat and Platinum trims, comparable to the one in the Mustang Mach-E EV, with some alterations. It has a significant "volume" ring installed in the display at the bottom-- rather a wonder-- and also it uses Ford's most recent Sync 4A infomercial system. Some of the materials as well as colors are additionally unique to the Lightning.



The Lightning has the regular F-150's 180-degree reclining pole positions for a snooze as well as a console that flips over to create a workspace when the gearshift is folded up out of the way. The tailgate opens up the same way, and the job surface and also bottle screw are undamaged-- something clients wanted. The freight box keeps the very same measurements to alleviate the shift for previous vehicle owners, who can easily transfer their devices as well as tools to the new vehicle. Greater than 95 percent of accessories carry over from the typical F-150 to the Lightning.

Since's A Frunk.

Ford states the 2022 F-150 Lightning has the greatest and also most powerful frunk in the industry. It has a much deeper subfrunk level under the detachable and also relatively easy to fix nonskid mat. The grille opens as a single piece with the adjustable-height hood, and also LED lights are embedded on the bottom of the grille to illuminate the freight location.



The frunk has a low tons flooring as well as provides 14.1 cubic feet of quantity, sufficient to hold two golf bags. It is a covered completely dry area yet can fit wet and also filthy things, with a drainpipe in the subfrunk floor. The underfloor container has a cover that doubles as a divider to section the cargo hold. There are grocery hooks, tie downs, and a cargo internet at the back.



Ford's Lightning provides 4 drive settings: Typical, Sport, Off-Road, as well as Tow/Haul. To aid the vehicle driver, video cameras give a 360-degree sight. There are also box and accessory cams, however not an electronic camera beneath the truck to see the terrain below you when wheels are in the air as you're off-roading.



Onboard Scales is another cool attribute; it makes use of the vehicle's sensing units to approximate haul, allowing you know when you struck the F-150 Lightning's threshold. The input is fed to the trip coordinator, which adjusts your array accordingly-- one more way to mitigate variety anxiousness.



Pro Trailer Drawback Assist makes its launching on the Lightning; it regulates steering, throttle, as well as brake inputs to straighten your ball drawback under your trailer coupler. You still need to jump bent on connect the trailer yourself.



Lightning Name.

Ford brought back the Lightning name, initially made use of in 1992 on a performance F-150 that was the world's fastest production truck at the time. Since the name was revealed for the EV, it has received positive comments, marketing supervisor Brian Bell said. Fanatics are topped for performance, and also those that do not keep in mind the initial-- Lightning buyers are anticipated to alter a little bit younger, extra urban, and with higher income than typical truck buyers-- still think it makes good sense for an electrical car.



" I love the Lightning name," primary engineer Linda Zhang stated. "I think we've done it justice." We think so, too.
