There may be diehard truck buyers who object to an all-electric pickup, but the 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning could accomplish the tough task of changing their minds. And isn't that what an F-150 is all about... doing the tough tasks? This new, all-electric Lightning arrives with a dual-motor setup with power supplied by two battery pack sizes. The 98 kWh Standard Range model produces 452 horsepower, up from the original 426 hp estimate, and 775 lb-ft of torque. For comparison, the F-150 Raptor only produces 450 hp and 510 lb-ft of torque from its twin-turbo V6.
Buyers who want even more power can opt for the 131 kWh Extended Range battery, which dials the output to a whopping 580 hp. Ford clearly wanted the Lightning to exceed truck buyer's expectations, which is why the company decided not to offer a single-motor variant like many other EVs.
