What makes the 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning stand out?

The 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning is unique on the Canadian market since it is currently the only full-size electric pickup to be made by a legacy automaker that is available to the general public. There are many other ways in which this truck stands out, however. Here’s a look at them.

Capable of everything a traditional truck can do

The 2023 Ford F-150 Lighting is a very capable truck that can do anything you ask it to. This is because its advanced electric powertrain has been designed to give it the capabilities required of a vehicle that wears the F-150 name. This means that the standard version delivers 452 horsepower and 775 lb-ft of torque while the upgraded models put down 580 horsepower. Since both versions use a dual-motor powertrain, this difference comes from the two battery sizes which are offered. The standard output is generated by a 98-kWh battery that also makes for up to 370 kilometers of driving range while the higher output is achieved via a larger 131-kWh battery that allows up to 515 kilometers on a charge.

Things no other truck can do

The 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning is also capable of many things traditional trucks can’t do, such as powering your entire house for up to three days during a power outage. This is possible via the standard 9.6 kW ProPower Onboard system that makes it possible to use the energy stored in the battery to power any electrical implement you need to use. This is also very useful on a job site or during a remote camping trip. In addition, the F-150 Lightning can be ordered with the advanced BlueCruise system which makes it possible for the driver to remove their hands from the steering wheel while going down certain highways.

An enhanced level of practicality

In addition to its 5.5 foot bed and its generous CrewCab passenger compartment, the 2023 F-150 Lightning also benefits from a large front trunk. While the bed and the cab are both elements that can be found on any regular F-150, this trunk is unique to the electric model since it occupies the space where the engine and transmission sit in a combustion-powered model. This means that the F-150 Lightning has 400 litres of secure cargo space to offer over a gasoline F-150.
