Ford F-150 Lightning Performance

The thing you’re probably most curious about is if the Ford F-150 Lightning has the power to keep up with its internal combustion cousins. The Lightning has two available batteries, a standard range and an extended range battery. Their specifications are outlined in the chart below.

If you’re wondering if you’ll be able to bring along your favorite outdoor toys, or move stuff for work, then you’ll be glad to know that the standard range battery of the 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning has a maximum towing capacity of 7,700 pounds. The extended range battery has a maximum available towing capacity of 10,000 pounds.

Ford F-150 Lightning Interior Technology

Maybe you spend a lot of time on the road-or off the road, if that’s how you like to spend your free time-and you need to make sure you’re going to have a nice time. The 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning has Ford’s SYNC®4 with Enhanced Voice Recognition system as standard. This system comes packaged with the following features:

When it comes to how you’ll be listening to your favorite radio stations, playlists, or podcasts, there’s the available 8-speaker B&O Sound System by Bang & Olufsen with HD Radio™. Though, if you’re a true audiophile, then consider upgrading to the Platinum trim, which has a Bang & Olufsen sound system with a full 18 speakers, including a subwoofer.

Ford F-150 Lightning Safety Features

But the most important thing to consider when buying a new truck, is how safe it’s going to be for you, your family, or your work friends. The 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning comes standard with Ford Co-Pilot 360™ 2.0, a comprehensive safety suite with driver-assistance features, like:

• Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking
• BLIS® with Cross-Traffic Alert
• Lane-Keeping System
• Reverse Sensing System
• Reverse Brake Assist and Post-Collision Braking

Also available is Ford Co-Pilot360™ Assist 2.0, which adds Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go; this allows you to set a speed and follow distance and can keep with the flow of traffic without your input.

For those who are looking for a futuristic commute, consider either the Lariat or Platinum trim, which can be outfitted with Ford Co-Pilot360™ Active 2.0. This system comes with BlueCruise, which allows for completely hands-free driving on prequalified sections of North American divided highways-nearly 130,000 miles.
