Recently, we learned from relevant channels that as the number of orders has approached 200,000, the Ford F-150 Lightning pure electric pickup truck is no longer accepting reservations. It is reported that the deposit for the new car is US$100, the starting price is US$40,000, and the official delivery is scheduled to be in the spring of 2022.
In terms of appearance design, Ford F-150 As a pickup truck, Lightning still adopts tough lines. The eye-catching door-shaped LED daytime running lights on the front face make it full of personality. There is also a "Lightning" logo on the rear of the body to show its different identity from other fuel-powered F-150 models.
Thanks to the simplified mechanical mechanism of pure electric vehicles, the front compartment behind the engine can be used as a front trunk to carry more goods, further enhancing its practicality. In addition to its powerful loading capacity, the vehicle can also be used as a backup power supply, providing power for all daily electrical appliances when needed.
In terms of interior design, the Ford F-150 Lightning also adopts a more technological design. In addition to the full LCD instrument panel, it also has the same features as the Mustang Mach- The E has the same 15.5-inch central touch screen, which integrates the SYNC 4A multimedia interactive system, supports Apple and Android mobile phone interconnection functions, and also integrates Bluetooth and voice control functions.
In terms of power system, the Ford F-150 Lightning currently offers two power versions, both of which use a dual-motor four-wheel drive layout. The SR version has a power of 426 horsepower and a cruising range of About 370 kilometers (230 miles); the ER version has a power of 563 horsepower and a cruising range of about 483 kilometers (300 miles). The torque of both cars is the same, 1051 N·m. At the same time, the official claims that the car’s acceleration time from 100 kilometers to 100 kilometers is about 4.5 seconds.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that in order to be compatible with the huge electric motor on the rear axle, the Ford F-150 Lightning has been equipped with an independent suspension system on the rear axle, which is different from the integral axle used in previous pickup models. The suspension is different, which is also a change that has to be made in the mechanical structure.
