The 2024 Ford F-150 Lightning is changing the trucking landscape. This all-electric masterpiece goes head-to-head with its gas-guzzling rivels, outshining them by utilizing advanced tech and innovative features. We look at some of the cutting-edge features of the new F-150 Lightning that are helping reimagine the work truck. 1. Fully Electrified Power Ford has taken its popular F-150 and turned it into an all-electric truck without scrimping on power and performance. Its inner workings consist of a dual electric motor that generates a mighty 775 pound-feet of torque, making this electrified pickup as quick as its predecessors. Horsepower and range depend on the battery you opt for, with the base XLT's standard range battery kicking out 452 ponies and achieving an EPA-estimated 240 miles. more However, upgrade to the extended-range battery, which comes as standard on the FLASH, LARIAT, and Premium trims, and the horsepower increases to 580, enabling these Lightnings to shoot from 0 to 60 in just 3.8 seconds. The battery upgrade ups the range to a maximum of 320 miles on a single charge, more than enough juice for a road trip to Atlantic City and back again. 2. Trailering Technologies Haulage ability is an all-important statistic when it comes to work trucks, and the Lightning doesn't disappoint with its 5,000-pound towing capacity. However, equip your F-150 with the extended-range battery and the available Max Trailer Pro package and you can hitch a trailer weighing anything up to 8,500 pounds. To assist with trailer hitching, weighing, and guiding, Ford has fitted every model with cutting-edge trailering tech. Pro Trailer Backup Assist takes over the steering when reversing with a trailer in tow while the Smart Hitch system takes the hassle out of weighing by estimating the tongue weight for you. 3. Mega Power Frunk By turning the F-150 into an EV, Ford has freed up the area under the hood where the gas engine would typically be and turned it into an additional storage area. The 14.1 cubic foot front trunk, or frunk, increases the payload by 400 pounds, has integrated lighting, and can be used as a makeshift cooler for ice and drinks thanks to being constructed from rubberized material and having a drain hole in its base. The F-150 Lightning is a shining example of what happens when a world-leading manufacturer combines electrified power with workhorse capabilities.
