The truck category has lagged behind sedans and SUVs regarding hybrid and electrified engine options for years, but the Ford brand is changing that with several exciting new options. The 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning is one of those revolutionary new models that breaks ground in the electric truck category without the competitors' long wait lists and extravagant prices. We have new Ford F-150 Lightning options in stock at Springfield Ford, so read on for details about what these exciting new electric pickup trucks have to offer!
Electric Powertrain, Capacities, and Range
The Ford F-150 Lightning uses the brand's history and expertise in the truck class to create an EV that excels at towing, off-roading, and hauling all sorts of items. This new Ford electric truck in Springfield, PA has several powertrain options that vary in their range and capabilities, but you can expect up to a 320-mile range in the 2023 F-150 Lightning, which is quick to charge whether at home or a DC fast-charging station. You can also use the power from the electric battery as a generator should your home lose power.
The powertrain options for this electric truck include ones with up to 580 horsepower and 775 pound-feet of torque that help in all situations. Those setups have motors on both axles to provide 4x4 performance whether you're rock crawling or plowing out a driveway. In terms of capacities, the Ford F-150 Lightning can tow up to 10,000 pounds, with the instant response of the electric motor making for smoother acceleration, and handle payloads of up to 2,235 pounds.
Exterior
The capability that trucks provide is as much about the bed space and cargo room as it is about the powertrain, and the Ford F-150 Lightning shows that with a rugged exterior. The bed has a lot of room to secure everything from recreation vehicles to work supplies, and there are Ford truck accessories to make cargo transport easier. There's also the trunk up front under the hood that has 14.1 cubic feet of space for items you want to protect from the elements or keep out of sight.

The cabin has quality upholstery and other surface materials, not to mention items such as heated and ventilated seats. You can also set the mood with interior ambient lighting that has seven different color choices.
