F-150 Lightning: An Electrifying Ride
The average lightning strike moves at about 270,000 MPH. That’s what inspires the Ford F-150 Lightning. Thanks to its Dual Electric Motors and available 131-kWh battery, it achieves 563 horsepower and 775 lb-ft of torque. That makes it possible to go from 0 to 60 MPH in about 4 seconds.
All that power is good for a lot more than speed. It also makes the F-150 Lightning a capable hauler. Whether you’re pulling your travel trailer out for a weekend of fun or taking the heavy machinery to the jobsite on Monday, this electric truck boasts a maximum towing capacity of 10,000 pounds.
There are also selectable drive modes, including Tow Haul, which optimizes the electric powertrain for towing. You can choose from additional drive modes like Normal, Sport, and Off-Road to dial in your ride further.
