You’re probably familiar with the Ford F-150, but you may not know the Ford F-150 Lightning. This all-electric version of the classic F-150 has charged onto the scene, so you should head to your local Ford dealership to check it out.

 

Fantastic Towing Capacity

The new electric powertrain on the Lightning is just as strong as a combustion engine. Producing a whopping 775 lb-ft of torque, it’s ready for whatever you throw at it. The sturdy truck has a maximum towing capacity of up to 10,000 pounds when equipped with 18-inch wheels and a standard-range battery. If you need to fill up the truck bed instead of towing, then you can load up to 2,235 pounds of cargo in the truck bed to take with you.

Up-to-Date Infotainment System

Need to stay connected while on the road? There’s a 15.5-inch screen available for the Lightning, letting you access various smartphone apps through wireless connectivity with Apple and Android devices. You’ll get seamless software updates thanks to Ford PowerUp, so you never have to worry about out-of-date technology.

Cloud-Based Navigation

One of the most useful features you can access through your 15.5-inch screen is navigation. Stay up to date on how to get to your destinations, no matter how new they are to you. The navigation is connected to the cloud, so you always have the latest and most accurate, helpful directions when trying to reach new and exciting areas.

Top-Notch Safety System

Ford Co-Pilot 360 is one of the most jam packed safety systems on the market. It equips your truck with an array of advanced technology to help boost safety and security on the road.

BlueCruise hands-free driving enables you to take your hands off the wheel on over 130,000 miles of highways across North America. A camera facing you scans you to make sure you’re focused on the road. A lane centering system, pre-and post-collision braking, and active park assist all strive to make every journey a little safer.

Luxurious and Secure Cabin

Zone lighting is available in the Lightning’s cabin to help set the mood for each journey, making all of your passengers feel like they’re in a very luxurious vehicle indeed. A parameter anti-theft alarm alerts passers-by if anybody is attempting to breach your vehicle while you’re not in it, making the cabin secure. The cabin is also highly spacious with lots of power outlets to keep you happy on long drives.
