Ford F-150 Lightning

The Ford Motor Company no longer makes dozens of different cars. Their focus – no pun intended – is on their most popular and profitable lines: the Mustang sports car and the Ford F-150 pickup truck.
Ford made a splash in 2020 when they introduced the Mach-E Mustang, an electric crossover with rear-wheel and all-wheel drive. This year they topped that news with the announcement of a new electric version of their F-150 pickup.
The F-150 Lightning is a powerhouse. It promises 563 horsepower and 775 lb.-ft. of torque‚ the most torque of any F-150 ever made. A new frame made with stronger steel will support a maximum 2,000-pound payload and up to 10,000-pound towing capacity.
This new F-150 will be Lightning-fast as well. Ford claims it will go from 0-60 in just over 4 seconds. The onboard batteries have a range of 230 miles or 300 miles with the optional second battery.
Gas stations aren’t going away any time soon, but this announcement makes it clear that American automakers are serious about electric vehicles. The F-150 Lightning is scheduled to arrive in the spring of 2022. Sale price will start at $40,000 USD.
