The All-New 2022 Ford F-150 Lighting Coming to Chiefland, FL

Experience the New Ford F-150 Lightning at Chiefland Ford

Ford has just unveiled the new F-150 Lightning, an exciting full-size electric vehicle with zero emissions that is the talk of the industry. It is not a replacement for the F-150 series but more of an extended family member in the lineup. It is the most advanced in the F-150 series in terms of power and speed.

The Lightning is offered in four trim levels--the Lightning Pro, Lightning XLT, Lightning Lariat, and the Lightning Platinum. The Pro is the base model, while the Platinum being the highest trim model.


Engine, Transmission, and Performance

All the trim options are offered a choice between the standard and extended range batteries, with the Platinum trim being the only exception. The standard battery is estimated to covers a range of 370 km while generating 426 horsepower and 775 Lb-Ft of torque. On the other hand, the extended battery is estimated at 480 km after a full charge, generating up to 563 horsepower and 775 Lb-Ft of torque. The two motors provide an all-wheel-drive system as the standard drivetrain. Transmission is a one-speed automatic.

All trucks are equipped with a mobile charger that can either be plugged into a standard 240-volt outlet, which provides about 20km per charging hour at 32 amps or into a regular 120-volt outlet to charge at 5km per hour.

All the trim options also receive two motors, with a range of driving modes: Normal, Tow/Haul, Off-road, and Sport operating modes. This 2022 model can tow up to 10,000 pounds.

Interior Features

The cabin is made of quality vinyl, cloth, and leather upholstery that varies across the trims. This pickup can accommodate up to five occupants in the SuperCrew cab. Storage capacity is standard with the provision of a 5.5 cubic feet bed, negating the need for a vast space. The F-150 Lightning also does incorporate the Mega Power Frunk, a feature that provides 14.1 cubic feet of storage space under the front hood, serving as an extended storage cabin. Comfort is guaranteed with the 180 degrees reclining seats.

Exterior

The exterior is impressive, thanks to the blacked-out chrome grille perfectly blending with the hood. Its high-strength, military-grade aluminum-alloy body is perfect for off-roading and hostile driving conditions. The headlights and taillights have been redesigned with a more angular look, on top of which an LED light bar spanning the entire width of the truck in front is included.

The Ford has been redesigned and transformed the front fenders, hood, bedsides, and running boards for aerodynamics to fit the new lights and charge the door. The full-size spare at the back is still retained. The sides of the bed have the lightning inscription as the signature badge.


Technology and Entertainment Features

A range of advanced technology and entertainment features are available. The SYNC infotainment system on a 12 to 15.5-inch touchscreen depending on the trim level, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and a premium audio system are some technologies in this truck. Most of the tech in Lightning is of the fourth generation.

Safety

The Ford F-150 Lightning is a safe vehicle. It comes with tons of safety and driver assistance features that are standard across the trim options. The standard features include an automatic emergency braking system with pedestrian detection, lane-departure warning, and lane-keeping assist. Optional features such as adaptive cruise control and the BlueCruise semi-autonomous driving mode are available.

Are you looking for the perfect pickup truck that can blend its impressive performance with the superior payload and storage capacity? Then, the 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning is the vehicle for you.
