When you make brand new, the electrical version of your best-selling model, you need to do it right, and Ford doesn’t take risks with Lightning 2022 F-150. The first EV italization of popular pickups naturally, it combines the label prices that rotate with a solid range and some smart side talents, including the ability to power all homes in blackouts.
First, title number. Ford said lightning 2022 F-150 would start at $ 39,974 for a commercial oriented model, before a federal or state tax credit. There will be more information about the entry-trim immediately. Consumer 2022 F-150 Lightning XLT will start at $ 52,974, once again before credit or incentives. The maximum model will be around $ 90,000.
There will be two battery options. The F-150 lightning standard range is expected to come at 230 miles on the EPA test; The Extended Lightning F-150 range must encourage it to 300 miles.
Electric pickup production will begin in the renovated Ford and expanded Rouge Complex, at Dearborn Michigan, with the first delivery in 2022. Open order now, with a $ 100 deposit that can be returned to risk the place. At present, Ford estimates that the current US Federal Tax incentive is up to $ 7,500 to be applied to the sale of F-150 lightning, even though the accuracy of the prognostication will certainly depend on demand for EVs basically.
If you can use one word to describe the new F-150 lightning and its appeal to the Ford Truck driver, then “Familiar” might be your choice. Instead of the spaceship-esque electric pickup design that we have seen from other EV truck companies, Ford has attached to the F-150 design language he knows, and with the intention. After all, when you have the best-selling book to play, deviating too far from the success of sales it looks like a bad idea.
So, you get the same three box profile, although Ford said the F-150 lightning is actually the most aerodynamic-slippery in the history of the model. It includes a new running board, sculpting different for hood, and empty gratings out of unnecessary cooling ventilation to help cut obstacles.
Just like when it turned to an aluminum body, Ford doubled the promises of endurance. The F-150 electricity passes the same battery from punishing torture-testing that must pass the gas version, while the liquid-cooled battery gets a one-piece battery cover of a piece of composite to protect them in their position in Wheelbase truck.
There will be four trims in total – commercial, xlt, leriat, and platinum – and initially all will be a superrew cabin configuration with seating up to five, and a 5.5 foot box behind. However, below it, there was a new frame with Ford using the strongest steel, to handle extra heavy electric drivetrain. It adds around 1,000 pounds to sidewalk weights, versus 3.5 PowerBoost F-150.
Different LED lights on the front and rear will be available, help identify the Nature of EV trucks, and zone 360 degree lighting will also be optional. It can illuminate certain task areas, or the entire edges of pickup. Because the dimensions of the bed and cabins are distributed with the F-150 gas, though, there are accessories designed for that model can be used with lightning too.
