The push to an all-electric future is a very real goal for most major automotive manufacturers, and Ford is leading the charge. How best to win buyers over? The company is betting big as it announces the 2022 Ford Lightning, a fully electric F-150 that’s poised to disrupt the full-size truck category like never before. Here at The Faricy Boys Ford, your Ford Lightning dealer, our team is fully briefed on the 2022 Lightning and ready to provide our customers with all the support they need to make the switch (no pun intended!) to an electric vehicle (EV). From driving range to home charging, we have the tools and know-how to send you home feeling confident and excited to own an EV.
Let’s not forget that the 2022 Ford Lightning is still a rugged and durable F-150 full-size truck. Here at The Faricy Boys Ford, we help truck shoppers equip their pickups with all the capability they’ll need to get the job done, whether they’re headed to the job site or pursuing off-roading adventures on backcountry trails. We’ll walk you through everything from trailering to utilizing Ford SYNC technology to stay connected. We are your one-stop shop for Ford Lightning sales, service, and maintenance.
Winning over full-size truck buyers to electric vehicle (EV) power is a monumental task since capabilities like towing and off-roading require large amounts of torque, especially at low speeds. Traditionally, battery packs couldn’t manage the kind of power output necessary for truck tasks, but the 2022 Lightning shows us that today, nothing could be further from the truth.
The Ford F-150 is America’s favorite full-size truck and has been for nearly 44 years. Ford expects the new Lightning to build on that track record and draw new buyers who seek a zero-emissions driving experience. The tagline “Built Ford Tough” applies even more here, which is why the Lightning is poised to continue to cement the F-150 nameplate as an American icon.
Back in 2017, Ford celebrated 100 years of truck innovation, including recognizing the F-Series as a best seller for over four decades. The company credits the truck’s success – 26 million sold and counting – to its customer-centric approach. Design and product evolution comes from feedback provided by owners. The all-new 2022 Ford Lightning is a product of that focus, and it embodies years of engineering, testing, and design, all for the benefit of America’s full-size truck buyers.
Relying on two electric motors to deliver an estimated 563 horsepower, 775 lb-ft of torque, and max 10,000 pounds of towing capability, the 2022 Ford Lightning deserves a spot high up on your consideration list. This is no ordinary EV, and even by traditional powertrain standards, the Lightning delivers the kind of power and capability commonly only seen in a heavy-duty truck. It also puts to rest any lingering concerns about driving range, with an estimated traveling distance of 300 miles on a single charge.
In fact, the 2022 Lightning is designed to be the most powerful F-150 ever built. Raptor fans might be especially surprised to know that the Lightning achieves an estimated 0-60 time of just over 4 seconds, a stat that bests not only the Raptor but several high-end sports cars too. The base work truck version starts at around $40,000, making this technological marvel a veritable bargain.
Speaking of technology, the 2022 Lightning is brimming with it. Take the Onboard Scales feature: sensors embedded in the truck bed can estimate payload and automatically communicate with the onboard Intelligent Range features to adjust driving range, giving drivers a head’s up on what to expect for better charge time planning. It’s a fully customized approach to range management, taking the guesswork out of the process for drivers.
Also included in the Lightning is Ford’s SYNC 4A operating system, accessible via a massive 15.5-inch infotainment touchscreen mounted prominently on the dash. Combined with the 12-inch driver information cluster, it’s a digital array of data, connectivity, and integration that turns the cabin into a futuristic cockpit and keeps key stats visible. The system simplifies common activities like hitching trailers and towing and allows occupants to easily stream playlists stored on their smartphones.
One of the most highly anticipated features of the 2022 Ford Lightning is Intelligent Backup Power. Because the truck is all-electric, it acts as a mobile battery, capable of delivering 9.6 kilowatts of power. That’s enough to do double duty in a power outage situation. It has the capacity to keep major appliances online during a home power outage for up to three days.
