2023 Ford F-150 Lightning

The Lightning is available in four trims, each offering more than the last. These are the Pro, the XLT, the Lariat, and the Platinum, and while you cannot go wrong with any of these options, it's worth noting that as you work your way up, you'll see some seriously impressive features. These models boast the tough exteriors F-150s are known for, but the edges are smoother and simplified, adding a modern vibe you'd expect from an electric vehicle. Available Signature Front Lighting and LED Mirror-Mounted Spotlights allow you to see no matter how late you're working, and you'll appreciate the Power Tailgate and Onboard Scale with Smart Hitch.

Each Lightning trim comes outfitted with dual electric inboard motors: one for the front axle and one for the rear axle. They are each equipped with a standard range 98-kilowatt-hour battery, and you have the option to upgrade to a 131-kilowatt-hour battery with an extended range. This powertrain generates an impressive 462 horsepower and an even more impressive 775 pound-feet of torque. Opt for the extended-range battery, and your output increases to 580 horsepower.

What else is a truck with all that power supposed to do other than perform? The Lightning's max conventional towing capacity is 10,000 pounds with a max payload of 2,235 pounds. The EPA estimates the Platinum trim has an extended range of up to 300 miles, and with the Normal, Sport, Tow/Haul, and Off-road selectable drive modes, you'll be ready for anything during your drive. Your front suspension is an independent double-wishbone with coil-over shocks, and the rear system has independent semi-trailing arms with coil springs. You'll enjoy the convenience of having power anywhere you go with the 11 power outlets.

The Lightning's interior is flush with available comforts and conveniences like a spacious interior work surface, heated and ventilated front seats, a wireless charging pad, ambient lighting, Connected Built-In Navigation, Multicontour Premium Nirvana Leather seating surfaces, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Jam out to your favorite tunes with the B&O Unleashed Sound System by Bang & Olufsen that puts out 1080 watts though the beautifully crafted 18 speakers and subwoofer. Stay connected with the SYNC4A infotainment system with Enhanced Voice Recognition, a 15.5-inch touchscreen, and FordPass Connect with a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot that connects up to 10 devices.

Ford Co-Pilot360 Technology offers safety features that'll help you feel cool, calm, and collected on the road. These include features like Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, Post-Collision Braking, Lane-Keeping System, and Reverse Sensing System. You can also opt for Active Park Assist 2.0, Pro Trailer Backup and Hitch Assist, Rain-Sensing Wipers, Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control, and a 360-degree camera that gives you complete coverage. This safety tech wouldn't be complete without BLIS with Cross-Traffic Alert and Tow Coverage.
