New Ford F-150 Lightning Trucks In Medford
Introducing the Ford F-150 Lightning in Patchogue
The Ford F-150 Lightning is the latest addition to the already-impressive lineup of Ford trucks. Although it shares a name with the iconic Ford F-150, it is a different model to consider for your trips to Medford. It builds on the solid reputation of the Ford F-150 and targets those looking for a sustainable alternative to internal combustion engines. As a result of its electric powertrain, the F-150 Lightning produces a massive torque output that results in effortless acceleration and decent towing capabilities. Despite the increasing competition in the electric truck segment, the Ford F-150 remains a favorite for many drivers, due to its remarkable towing abilities and driving range.
Performance
Every Ford F-150 Lightning model has two electric motors that deliver power to an all-wheel drive system. When paired with a 98-kWh standard range battery pack, the F-150 Lightning produces 425 horsepower, while the 131-kWh extended battery pack delivers 580 horsepower for your journeys around Medford. Both versions generate 775 pound-feet of torque, which is enough muscle to handle the most strenuous towing duties at your job site. The new Ford F-150 delivers a responsive drive, despite being a full-size truck. You will reach 60 mph in 4.5 seconds using the extended range model and 5.0 seconds with the standard range model. Although the F-150 Lightning is not an off-road-oriented pickup truck, it has a rear differential that works alongside the AWD system to ensure you confidently tackle slippery roads. Like most electric vehicles, the Lightning has a one-pedal driving feature, which makes driving in the city a little easier.
Towing and Payload
The new F-150 Lightning has a 10,000-pound towing capacity with the extended range battery and a 7,700-pound capacity in the standard range. Consequently, it can easily tow a camper to your weekend getaway to Riverhead or pull heavy equipment at your construction sites around Sayville. Standard range models have a 2,000-pound payload capacity, while extended range versions max out at 1,800 pounds.
Charging and Driving Range
According to Ford, the 98-kWh standard range models have a 230-mile driving range, while the extended range models have a 320-mile range. However, these figures may vary depending on your vehicle's health and when towing. The F-150 Lightning requires 44 minutes to charge from 15 to 80 percent when charging using a DC fast charger. It takes even longer when using a 110 or 220-volt power outlet at home. In case of a power outage, the new model can serve as a backup power generator and provide electricity to an average household for three days.
Interior Features
The Ford F-150 Lightning has a cozy interior with plenty of features to ensure you explore the Centereach area in top-notch comfort. It is only available in a crew cab model with 43.6 inches of rear legroom, a five-person seating space, and a 5.5-foot bed. In addition to its spacious cargo bed, the new model has a front trunk occupying the area where the normal engine would sit. While standard models have a 12.0-inch infotainment screen, Platinum and Lariat models have a 15.0-inch screen with a similar SYNC® 4 interface. You will experience seamless connectivity in the new model, thanks to its Wi-Fi hotspot, inbuilt navigation, and wireless integration. A Bang & Olufsen sound system with eight speakers in the Lariat model and 18 speakers in the Platinum will amplify your favorite music throughout Lightning's cabin.
The new and thrilling Ford F-150 Lightning is a capable electric truck that offers numerous advantages over traditional pickup trucks around Shirley. In addition to producing a more exciting performance and an impressive driving range, the F-150 Lightning has exciting interior features to ensure you experience next-level comfort on your adventures across Brookhaven.
