For decades, the F-150 has been one of the top-selling trucks in the country. Ford has reinvented the Ford F-150 with its latest addition to the lineup, an all-electric option named the Ford F-150 Lightning. Along with reducing the carbon footprint, the new rendition promises to be a powerful member of the roster.
Performance
The new F-150 Lightning at Cutter Ford have two motors powered by one or two battery packs. Lightning versions equipped with the dual-extended range battery setup generate an impressive 563 horsepower and 775 pound-foot of torque. The unique powertrain enables the pickup to go from zero to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds. Pickups with dual-motor, extended battery configuration have a tow rating of up to 10,000 pounds.
The 2022 Lightning also gets an independent rear suspension, designed to ensure a smoother, quieter ride. Drivers determine the best level of performance for a task by choosing from normal, off-road, sport, or haul/tow modes.
On Board Technology

The Frunk
