⚡ EV F150 Lightning debuts in 2022

[Eagle]

It's about time. I'd been thinking about preordering one, but wasn't about to throw money down on something that had no established price tag.

 

[Spivitz]

I'd definitely wait until they work out all the

 

[Eagle]

Yeah that's always a solid bit of advice. Might be a good idea on this one. I've heard some nightmares about Ford not doing a great job of supporting new owners. No offense to anyone of course.

My Ram is starting to show it's age so I did some research on the lightning. It sounds like in 2025 it moves to it's own platform and off of an electrified F-150. I'm holding out for that and Ram's EV offering. I'm also starting to dig into the F-150 PHEV and it's pretty impressive. I hate myself right now.

 

[Eagle]

Yeah honestly Ram did a great job supporting me with my 19 1500. I had one of the first ones and it needed lots of electrical and ECU help. Can't imagine what an entirely electric vehicle issues will look like...

And RIP performance market. ?

Never getting rid of my diesel truck!

Ford should offer a chassis for body swaps you'd see shit like square bodies on them.

Ford says the F-150 Lightning is more powerful than it originally announced

Ford now says it’ll make up to 580 horsepower.

www.theverge.com

When Ford announced its electric pickup in May 2021, the company estimated the standard battery pack version would make 426 horsepower, and the extended range version would make 563. Now that it’s actually building them, those numbers have gotten a bump: the standard range will produce 452 horsepower, and the extended will get a whopping 580 horsepower. For context, the V8 turbocharged diesels that Ford puts in its Super Duty trucks (think F-250 to F-450) top out around 475 horsepower — though those engines do make 1,050 pound-feet of torque, which is more than the 775 pound-feet the Lightning can do.

The truck is getting more interesting.

Give me a 350HP option with another 100 miles of range and it'll be very enticing.

Yea I don’t understand the reasoning behind the silly hp numbers. I assume to entice people to buy them? Make a realistic truck that goes much further instead.

How the 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning's Towing Tech Learns From Other Trucks

The electric Ford F-150 Lightning pickup is made to do truck things, even though it's not gas- or diesel-powered.

www.thedrive.com

"Ford customers also all get free 120- or 240-volt AC charging cables so they can charge wherever a plug is available. Extended range F-150 Lightning owners also get a free 80-amp charging station, although the actual installation of the station must be paid for by the vehicle's owner."

It’s a function of battery capacity mostly which is why the range increases with HP. More battery in parallel gives it the ability to draw more current. Same thing for power tools. 2ah battery and 5ah battery will have a difference in torque for a saw/impact/whatever

I get this, but man is it tough to break the ICE mindset. There's really nothing apples to apples about them and EVs.

Not to mention that it's not itemized. They could have tripled the accessories total and most people wouldn't question it.
