It will be offered with two battery capacities, offering official ranges of around 230 (368km) and 300 miles (480km) on the American EPA test cycle.įord claims the F-150 Lightning will be “wickedly quick off the mark”, with a 0-60mph/0-100kph time in the mid 4.0sec range with the optional extended-range battery. The F-150 Lightning will feature a dual-motor, four-wheel-drive powertrain that produces 563bhp and 775lb ft – the most torque yet offered on an F-150. The Lightning title revives a name previously used for a road-focused performance version of the truck. Ford sold around 730,000 F-Series pick-ups last year. The EV is based on the 14th generation of the F-Series, which has long dominated private vehicle sales in the US. It was described by chairman Bill Ford as “a defining moment” for both Ford and the American car industry. The new truck will be critical to the Blue Oval’s plans to dramatically increase its EV sales in America.

Ford has revealed the new F-150 Lightning, the first series-production electric version of its best-selling pick-up that will take on the Tesla Cybertruck when it goes on sale early next year.
