The All-New 2022 Ford F-150
The Ford F-150 Lightning is the next generation of the best-selling pickup truck in America -- it’s gas-free but with the same power and performance F-150s are famous for. With four trim levels available, let's look at the top two tiers: Lariat and Platinum.
Power and Performance
The all-new Ford F-150 Lightning is fully electric, which gives this classic performer a cutting-edge feel. It has all the power that you expect without the gas engine.
All F-150 models have two electric motors, an all-wheel drive, and a standard-range battery with 426 horsepower. The extended-range battery gives the horsepower an explosive 563, with 775 lbs/tq. That's powerful enough to get you from 0-60 in the mid-four-second range.
The Lightning has a targeted towing capability of 10,000 pounds and a targeted payload capacity of 2,000 pounds. It also comes with advanced towing and hauling technology like Pro Trailer Hitch Assist, onboard scales, and Pro Trailer Backup Assist to ensure safe driving, no matter what you're moving.
An independent rear suspension minimizes body roll and ensures a smooth ride and precise handling. In addition, the Lightning has selectable drive modes, so you can be in control no matter what the terrain has in store for you. Switch the driving mode to tow/haul when you're pulling a heavy load or off-road to venture off the beaten path.
The Lightning is multi-functional featuring an indoor work surface convenient for signing documents or typing on your laptop. A tailgate work surface makes for a convenient place to measure and cut. Four 120-volt outlets provide 2.4 kW of power, allowing you to run tools or even a laptop.
Lariat vs. Platinum
Both the Lariat and Platinum trim levels are well-stocked -- you can't go wrong with either one of them. Both feature impressive technology, including a 12-inch instrument cluster and a 15.5-inch touchscreen.
Some of the particular features that make Lariat stand above the other trims are 20-inch Dark Carbonized Gray wheels, leather-trimmed heated and ventilated seating, a power tailgate, and a 9.6 kW Pro Power Onboard. The Lariat is perfect for the driver who wants some style and power.
The Platinum level takes it up a notch with a tinted chrome grill and 22-inch aluminum wheels. It also includes an extended-range battery, the Bang & Olufsen Unleashed Sound System, Ford Co-Pilot360, and a twin-panel moonroof. Platinum is for the driver who wants the ultimate in style and power.
The Lariat and the Platinum are two fantastic trim choices for the F-150 Lightning. Contact Mathews Ford today to reserve your new Ford F-150 Lightning if you are in the Sandusky area.
