Ford F-150 Lightning setting bar for electric pickup trucks

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Starting at $40,000, the Ford F-150 Lightning all electric pickup truck is as dominant as always and ready to help you save time and money.

New federal legislation gives the Ford F-150 the potential to offer up to $7,500 in tax credits, which is a sweet deal. Even sweeter is the range on this baby — the available listed is 320 miles. That is based in part on intelligent learning that is built into the truck, which calculates your payload, grade, traffic and even the weather to help predict how much energy you will use.

How about speed, you might ask. Well, it gets you 0-60 miles per hour in about 4 to 5 seconds. Wow. I guess those days of electric vehicles being tagged as slow are over. It gets you there with an engine that delivers a targeted 563 horsepower and 775 pound-feet of torque with the extended-range battery.

And there are two motors powering the four wheels, so you get the ultimate 4×4 off-roading experience and performance.

Oh yeah, and it has an amazing future that you are going to love even more. Talk to your dealer about equipping your house with the proper Ford charging station, which might include the 80-amp Ford Charge Station Pro. Add in an extended range battery and you might be able to power your home for three days, depending on the setup, if the power goes out. Imagine that – now that is a feature I was not expecting and sure could use especially during hurricane season.

The maximum payload on this beast is 2,000 pounds and it has a 10,000-pound available maximum towing capacity.

With 14.1 cubic feet in the cabin, it’s the largest sealed front trunk of any all-electric pickup on the market. It also has an available 15.5-inch infotainment screen and cloud connectivity that accommodates both Apple and Android integration. The system also offers wireless updates to its software to enhance features, quality, performance and capabilities.

I love the Ford F-150 Lightning for a lot of reasons, most importantly because it feels like a Ford F-150. There are great things on the horizon behind the wheel of this pickup truck.
