2022 Ford F-150 Lighting More Powerful and Capable Than Previously Disclosed
Ford will begin shipping the 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning, the all-electric version of its top-selling F-series of pickups, to customers in the coming days, and they're going to get a surprise bonus.
Ford now says that the standard-range 98-kilowatt-hour (kWh) battery pack produces 452 horsepower and 775 pound-feet of torque. That's up from the originally quoted 426 horsepower. The extended-range 131-kWh pack has been lifted to 580 horsepower from 563. Torque again stays at 775 pound-feet.
Payload numbers have also received a boost. According to the company, a properly equipped Lightning can now haul 2,235 pounds, a 235-pound increase from original estimates.
