Your workday is full of demands and worrying about your truck’s gas tank shouldn’t be one of them. With the launch of the 2022 F-150 Lightning, Ford is connecting BC commercial fleet operators with 100% electric range, so you can spend more time at the job site – and not on the sidelines.
Hitting the market next spring, all 2022 F-150 Lightning models will be offered with the option of two lithium-ion liquid-cooled battery packs. The standard-range battery will deliver an anticipated 370-km driving range on a full charge or there’s an extended-range version that can travel 483 km if you regularly do longer hauls.Â
According to Driving, battery restoration will be managed by a DC fast-charger that will have you up and running in 44 minutes with the standard-range battery or 41 minutes with the extended-range option. After a long day on the road, the 2022 F-150 Lightning can also recharge overnight while you relax using an at-home Level 2 charger.
Keep up with the demands of your day without worrying about how you’ll power up your truck. To learn more about the 2022 F-150 Lightning, contact our team at Skaha Ford in Penticton, BC for a full spec review.
With the unveiling of the 2022 F-150 Lightning, Ford is redefining the full-size pickup segment – connecting BC drivers to the brawn and capability they need with an all-electric powertrain. Without a lick of gasoline, you’ll be able to tow, haul and power up projects, so you can work more efficiently.
According to Driving, the new Lightning packs a big punch. Using dual in-board motors and a standard 4x4 drivetrain, this platform will throw a reported 775 lb.-ft. of torque – more than any F-150. When paired with the 563-hp extended-range battery, the 2022 F-150 Lightning can bolt from zero to 100 km/h in just over four seconds. That’s faster than the Ranger!
In addition to its ballistic acceleration, the Lightning proves a skillful hauler. With the standard-range battery, this all-electric truck can tow 3,493 kg, but opting for the extended-range version with the Max Trailer Tow package increases the pickup’s pulling power to 4,536 kg. Carry heavy loads? The 2022 F-150 Lightning is an all-electric workhorse, boasting a maximum 816-kg payload capacity.
It’s time to rejoice, BC commercial fleet operators – the battery-powered F-150 Lightning is set to arrive next spring! To learn more about this truck’s specs and features, contact Skaha Ford in Penticton for a full review.
