The 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning is a groundbreaking addition to Ford's lineup, marking their foray into the realm of electric pickup trucks. With its impressive features, the Lightning mirrors the reliability and performance of its gas-powered counterparts, but with the added benefits of an electric vehicle. Come By Heartland Ford today and we'll show you why we love it!
Engine & Towing
The base engine type is electric, delivering 426 horsepower and an absolutely eye-watering 775 lb-ft of torque. This power enables the F-150 Lightning to tow up to 10,000 lbs and have a maximum payload capacity of 2,000 lbs. But perhaps more fun, it also provides a blistering four second zero-to-sixty time and a quarter mile time of 12.7 seconds.Â
Battery & Range
The truck's electric engine is powered by a 98 kWh battery, which gives it an EPA tested range of 240 miles and an Edmunds Tested Range of 265 miles. It offers 76 MPGe in city driving and 61 MPGe on the highway for a combined total of 68 MPGe. It requires around 11.9 hours to fully charge the battery at 240V. It can be charged from 15% to 80% in about 40 minutes.Â
Interior
The interior of the Ford Lighting is intuitively laid out, making controlling your radio or climate control easy without having to take your eyes off the road. The controls are even big and chunky enough that operating them with gloves on is a breeze. You'll love the huge 15.5 inch LCD screen that consolidates much of the truck's connectivity control in one brilliant package.Â
There's plenty of room, as is the case with the whole Ford F-150 lineup, so you and your passengers won't feel cramped, or forced to sit in oddly upright positions like trucks of old.Â
Safety
Safety is paramount for modern vehicles and the F-150 Lightning is no different. You'll get a whole suit of electronic driver aids to improve performance and provide collision mitigation. These include adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, blind spot warning and 360 degree cameras. These cameras also make it easier to navigate in tight spots and get those sweet city parking spots you might otherwise have to pass by.Â
Everything about the 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning is remarkable, from the power to the range to the comfort and technology features. Come by Heartland Ford today and see for yourself!
