They say that lightning never strikes the same place more than once, but Ford has proven that wrong with their development of the F-150 Lightning. The "Lightning" name was first used on the ninth-generation Ford F-150 back in 1992 as a performance model developed by their Special Vehicle Team (SVT).
The F-150 SVT Lightning featured a uniquely tuned V8 engine; although it shared many of its underpinnings with the standard F-150 models at the time, it was significantly modified to create an exhilarating driving experience. This SVT Lightning was also available for part of the tenth generation that followed, but its production ended after the 2004 model year.
Ford resurrected their Lightning moniker with the introduction of the F-150 Lightning in the 2022 model year. As an electric vehicle (EV), the F-150 Lightning is far different from the older models it shares a name with, although it still aims for impressive performance and a thrilling driving experience.
Ford first announced they were developing an EV pickup in early 2019, with extensive development and testing following that, including a demonstration of the remarkable power they were working with when a prototype model towed 1,250,000 lbs on rails in the summer of 2019. We finally got our first real look at the F-150 Lightning in the spring of 2021, and more than 300,000 reservations were placed for Lightning models by the end of that year.
With so much attention on the F-150 Lightning, it is no surprise that demand for them is incredibly high, which makes getting one a challenge. That is why it is so important that you work with a dealership that can help you find what you are looking for and ensure you get the perfect truck with everything you want. Whether you are interested in a brand-new F-150 Lightning or would prefer a pre-owned model, we are here to help. We will work tirelessly to assist you in your search for your next truck, and we will not rest until you get what you're after.
One of the easiest ways to get your ideal Ford F-150 Lightning is to custom-order it to your specifications. Here at Kings Ford, we would be pleased to help you with this, walking you through each step of Ford's custom ordering process. We can answer your questions, explain your options, and ensure you get the right truck with everything you've been looking for. Once you've placed your order, we will keep you updated as it is constructed, and we'll contact you about delivery when your vehicle is ready to go home. It does not get any simpler than that.
There is a lot of uncertainty about all-electric models, leading to many questions and concerns. Owning and enjoying everything the F-150 Lightning offers is pretty simple, though some adjustments must be made. Let's go over some common questions...
A. It's actually very easy. You can use in-vehicle apps to keep track of charging stations near you; meanwhile, Level 1 and Level 2 charging units can be installed at your home, allowing you to refuel overnight. We are happy to discuss your options further with you and help you discover how simple it will be to keep your vehicle ready to go.
A. This depends on the model you are looking at and your own driving habits, but modern EVs like the Ford F-150 Lightning can go hundreds of miles on a full charge. It is easy to keep track of available range while on the road—and with more charging stations popping up across the country, maximum range is rarely a big concern these days.
A. While the F-150 Lightning can handle a tremendous amount of towing—up to 7,700 lbs with the Standard-Range battery or 10,000 lbs with the Extended-Range battery—it does come a few hundred pounds shy of the gas-powered F-150. However, you'll still have more than enough grit to haul a boat to the river, get equipment and supplies to a job site, or cart a travel trailer across the country.
A. Not at all; in fact, maintaining an electric vehicle model like the Ford F-150 Lightning is easier than maintaining vehicles with a conventional engine. There are fewer moving parts, and the process of electric motors generating power is generally less stressful on automotive components than is an internal combustion engine. We can help you keep your Lightning running beautifully, of course, but your bill will be far smaller as you will not have to worry about services like oil changes.
Here at Kings Ford, we pride ourselves on providing the highest level of customer service and the best shopping experience possible. No matter what model you are interested in—and regardless of whether you prefer brand-new or pre-owned—we are committed to helping you find it.
