It might have been Ferrari day at this week’s South OC Cars and Coffee, but it was the new electric Ford F-150 Lightning that stole the show with a front gate party!
The F-150 Lightning is the smartest, most innovative F-150 that Ford has ever built, with the freedom of a 10-kilowatt smart power plant on wheels, software updates that can make it even better over time and of course, it’s Built Ford Tough.
F-150 Lightning is the fastest-accelerating F-150 yet, with a 0-60 mph time in the mid-4-second range when equipped with an extended-range battery. Wickedly quick off the mark, quiet, smooth and exhilarating to drive, F-150 Lightning unlocks new capabilities for truck owners, like enough energy to power an entire home for up to three days if needed and a massive lockable Mega Power Frunk with power and charging capabilities.
The F-150 Lightning is a powerhouse with 580 horsepower and 775 lb.-ft. of torque – the most torque of any F-150 ever. It has an available maximum payload capacity of 2,235 pounds in the standard-range model with 18-inch wheels, and a maximum 10,000 pounds of available towing capacity on XLT and Lariat trucks with the extended-range battery and Max Trailer Tow Package.
Available in multiple configurations and trim levels, the F-150 Lightning will start at $39,974 and go all the way to $67,474 for the Lariat model. However, expect to pay way over list if you want one. Mother bitch dealers are charging up to double the list price right now.
