Check out our list below to learn more about these impressive features.
1. Hands-Free Driving
The entry-level F-150 Lightning comes with a 90-day trial for Ford BlueCruise 1.2. This exciting new technology was named Consumer Reports’ top pick for an active driving assistance system. BlueCruise currently works on 97% of controlled access highways within Canada and the United States. This technology will handle driving for you, with a camera facing you so that if you become distracted, it will send you an alert.
The technology can handle impressive tasks, including lane changes. All the driver needs to do is activate the turn signal, and BlueCruise will handle passing the car in front of you. The technology will also handle lane repositioning to help you maintain distance between your vehicle and the ones in adjacent lanes.
2. Powerful Performance
The F-150 Lightning comes with dual electric motors. The standard range battery generates 452 horsepower, and 775 lb.-ft of torque. The estimated driving range of the standard battery is 240 miles. There is also an available extended-range battery, which offers an estimated driving range of 320 miles.
This excellent vehicle also comes with selectable driving modes, including Off-road, Tow/Haul, Sport, and Normal. For off-roading, you’ll have a great 4×4 system for improved traction.
