2022 Ford F-150 Lightning

Those familiar with the F-150 know just how capable the V6 and V8 engine options were throughout the truck's history. However, the zero-emissions F-150 Lightning's electric motors might just have the internal combustion engines beat.

The acceleration, towing capacity, driving dynamics, and much more make the overall capability of the F-150 Lightning extraordinary. By visiting us at Carle Ford in Gatineau, you'll be able to take the electric F-150 out for a test drive and experience for yourself the undeniable power of this truck. You'll also enjoy a few EV-only features as well as the menacing, modern design of the F-150 Lightning.

The electric motors in question, paired with a Standard-Range battery, deliver 452 horsepower to all wheels (AWD). The Extended-Range battery also delivers power to all wheels, producing 580 horsepower and 775 pound-feet of torque. The Extended-Range setup achieves 100 km/h in about 4.5 seconds, an impressive number for a heavy truck. The power doesn't translate to poor road manners; quite the opposite, Ford F-150 Lightning is comfortable and pleasant. 

The towing capacity of the Standard-Range battery models is about 3,500 kilograms, while the Extended-Range battery models pull up to 4,535 kilograms. The payload capacity for the Extended-Range is around 1,000 kg, with the capacity of the standard models lagging slightly behind.

The smaller 98.0-kWh battery delivers a driving range of 370 km, while the bigger 131.0-kWh battery drives for 515 km before it needs recharging. The Ford F-150 Lightning can be charged via 110-volt and 220-volt outlets at home, while the fast-charging stations take the F-150 Lightning from 15 percent to 80 percent in 44 minutes. A fantastic feature of the F-150 Lightning is that it can serve as a backup generator that Ford claims can last up to three days for an average household.

If you're still not convinced, the F-150 Lightning eliminates a significant problem every ICE truck has: fuel economy. The fuel economy for the Standard-Range is 3.85 L/100km highway and 3.09 L/100 km, while the Extended-Range offers slightly better numbers.

The interior of the Ford F-150 Lightning is similar to that of a regular F-150 with a few extra features. By visiting us at Carle Ford in Gatineau, you'll be able to experience the Sync 4 system with a 12.0-inch or a 15.0-inch display that offers so much. Plainly put, this is an incredible electric vehicle that we want you to experience.
