2022 Ford F-150 Lightning Performance and Electric Power
Two batteries and two motors are what propel the 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning forward.
The standard-range battery essentially acts as an engine in the F-150 Lightning. This battery produces 426 horsepower and 775 lb-ft of torque and has an EPA-estimated range of 230 miles when equipped with 4-wheel drive.
The other battery option is the available extended-range battery. With the same torque as the standard-range battery, the extended range does give you a boost in horsepower-gearing up to 563 horsepower. You get a longer drive range, too: an EPA-estimated 300-mile range on a full charge.
Selectable drive modes help you customize your ride inside the F-150 Lightning and include:
- Normal
- Sport
- Tow/Haul
- Off-Road
These help you tackle whatever terrain or road you encounter. Plus, the available 12-inch digital productivity screen has a customized style for each drive mode.
2022 Ford F-150 Lightning Towing and Payload Capacity
The 2022 F-150 Lightning has impressive towing and payload capacities that let you tow and haul whatever you might need.
When properly equipped, the truck has a maximum towing capacity of 10,000 pounds. That's enough power to tow:
- Camping trailers
- Boats
- Utility trailers
The extended-range battery gives you this towing capability.
Filling up your truck bed with camping gear, bricks, or ATVs is all possible, too. The maximum payload capacity is equivalent to one ton-2,000 pounds! For this much payload capacity, you'll want the standard-range battery.
Ford F-150 Lightning Technology
The Ford F-150 Lightning comes equipped to get the job done. With many standard and available productivity features, this all-electric truck is just as capable as gas- or diesel-powered pickups.
The available SYNC® 4A infotainment system gives you a great mix of work and play. The 15.5-inch portrait touchscreen gives you clear directions if you opt for in-vehicle navigation, and you can make phone calls via Bluetooth® on your way to the worksite when you need to.
Other features in this system include:
- Enhanced voice recognition
- Apple CarPlay®
- Android Autoâ„¢
When you're loading up the truck bed, you'll want to keep an eye on how much weight you're at. The available onboard scale can help you do that. This system automatically weighs the payload in your truck bed and lets you know it so that you can determine how much more you can load.
Additionally, the available Pro Trailer Hitch Assist feature helps you hook up your trailer by automatically controlling the steering wheel and throttle while holding down a button and controlling the gears.
