2022 Ford F150 Lightning [now electric] - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Was secretly hoping for a bodykit, side pipes, chrome altezza's and a a big 'ol supercharger. Electric it is though.

Pretty mild in the styling. It's an f150 with your basic 2020 electric vehicle starter pack... tacked-on tesla tablet included.

It has the same awful dash design as the Mach E, which makes it an immediate non-starter for me.

I do like that they are building in the ability to feed the battery back into your house giving you a 3 to 10 day power feed during an outage.

Pricing starting at just shy of $40K isn't awful either.

Personally, I thought the Mustang Mach E GT was much better looking than I expected it to be.

Overall, I think I'll be waiting to see what the GM Silverado EV looks like first, but I could see me buying one of these.

I thought this was supposed to be based on the Rivian R1T. But is this a new platform that is Ford specific?

So, the cheapest F-150 SuperCrew with the NA3.3 V6 I can build on Ford.com ends up being $40K with delivery.

The F-150 Lightning is $40K before tax credits. While this model only has about 240miles of range, it is far more feature-rich and a lot faster.

I'm certain most models with the extended battery and options will end up being $60K, but still.

At least $60K. Top of the falls just short of $100K.

No. Ford did invest in Rivian and Ford/Lincoln had plans to build an SUV on the Rivian platform but it was cancelled as a result of the pandemic. F series fans don't want a Rivian designed truck, they want one that mirrors their F series.

i'm definitely curious how they're going to accomplish the backup portion. any backup system by code needs to disconnect the utility feed so as not to present a hazard to others..

generac's transfer switch and installation is about $1500-2k. that would make it one of the most expensive chargers ever, which is certainly going to impact the take rate.

the beginning vehicle pricing is spectacular though.

A truck with a trunk, I mean frunk, without needing a tonneau cover. People are already sold.

Yes it will require a transfer switch. Ford already has this ability in their F150 hybrid.

Nice truck with a fair price. Good move, Ford.
Let’s see what GM can bring to the table, it throws them to a bad spot having to react on this segment.

Dadhawk · 01-03-2022, 11:14 AM

Well, anyone not see this coming? Some of the Ford dealers are telling their customers there will be a "market adjustment" of as much as $30,000 on their $50,000 EV truck, and some idiot will pay it.

soundman98 · 01-03-2022, 12:18 PM

more than ever, it's clear to me why it's better to not be an early adopter.

You'd think, when trying to extort an additional almost 90% out of the buyer they would at least get the model name correct.

The N would just add an additional 10k to the markup

I would have responded something like. "Thank you for contacting me about my reservation. At this point I am not ordering any additional lighting on my new car. You may process my F150 Lightning order at MSRP, or I'll just find another dealer that will"
