Powertrain & Performance 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning:
The same 3.0L Twin Turbo EcoBoost® V6 with standard Auto Start/Stop and SelectShift® 10-speed transmission found in Ford F-150 Lariat. Ford has never offered such a powerful, efficient gasoline engine before, so they’re counting on its allure to sell their electric trucks. And what an engine it is: rated at 450 horsepower and 510 lb.-ft. of torque, it cranks out more power than even a Tesla Model S P100D (yep, twice as much). And that’s not even mentioning it delivers nearly 90 percent of its peak torque from 1,000 RPM to 5,000 RPM. No wonder it has been crowned Motor Trend Truck of the Year for two years running!
Brakes & Chassis:
The braking system uses a regenerative brake system and is completely electric, with two motors in each axle. Regenerative braking both slows down and charges the battery when it’s needed most, while also extending its range. The brakes on these trucks work just like normal—as in when you step on them they apply pressure to slow or stop whatever you are driving. It’s basically two separate systems that interact with each other, which is both a pro and a con. When one fails, it doesn’t affect another part of your vehicle. The downside?
Interior & Exterior:
Ford F-150 comes with a stunning new look and has been redesigned from A to Z. It is larger in size than previous models and it offers comfortable seating for up to three people. All versions of the truck, except for extended cab, come with two doors on both sides of a bed. Extended cab version has one door on each side and three passengers can sit comfortably at rear seats. The interior of Ford F-150 is mainly made of leather, which feels really nice when you touch it. It also comes equipped with automatic temperature control system, steering wheel mounted controls, air conditioner and many other sophisticated features that make ride really relaxing while using its powerful engine.
