The all-electric vehicle market is seriously heating up, but there’s one EV that truly stands out from the pack—the Ford F-150 Lightning. Not only does Ford’s all-electric pickup features all the truck credibility you’re used to from the F-150, but it also offers tons of standard equipment and technologies that make it the most advanced electric truck money can buy. Here are four reasons why the Ford F-150 Lightning is the ultimate electric pickup.
1. An Incredible Standard Powertrain
Ford’s packed the Lightning with plenty of power, even in its base model, the Lightning Pro. It features a 98-kWh battery, a maximum output of 452 hp, and an impressive 775 lb.-ft of peak torque. You’ll also get All-Wheel-Drive, along with a battery that gets a notable maximum 230-mile range.
If you opt for a more potent Lightning, Ford takes things a big step further. You’ll get a 131-kWh battery that can cover up to 320 miles on a full charge. The electric motor gets up to 580 hp, an impressive figure that other electric trucks can’t match.
2. Incredible Handling
For the first time ever, Ford’s offering an F-150 with independent rear suspension in the Lightning. Not only does this upgrade improve the overall ride quality you’ll enjoy every time you get behind the wheel, but it also makes the Lightning one of the best-handling trucks of all time. Thanks to the inclusion of the independent rear suspension, Ford’s made the Lightning a surprisingly smooth truck—one that’s safer, more stable, and more comfortable on the road.
3. Impressive Towing and Payload Capacities
Need a truck that can help you tackle even the toughest jobs? The F-150 Lightning is one of the best-performing trucks on the market. Depending on the type of Lightning you choose—whether equipped with the Standard-Range Battery or the Extended-Range version, the Lighting achieves the following figures:
- Maximum Payload: 2,235 lb. (Standard); 1,952 lb. (Extended)
- Maximum Towing: 5,000 lb. (Standard); 7,700 lb. (Extended)
- Maximum Towing with Max Trailer Tow Package: 7,700 lb. (Standard); 10,000 lb. (Extended)
4. A Generous Frunk
While you’ll find a “frunk,” or “front-trunk,” in nearly every EV on the market, none compare to the one Ford’s designed for the F-150 Lightning. Ford calls it the “Megapower Frunk,” and it’s designed with work in mind. Not only is there tons of space—up to 14 cubic feet—but it also features a low loading height. It’s also filled with useful accessories like a cargo net, grocery bag hooks, and even USB ports.
