Ford F-150 Lightning With The Big Battery Does 0-60 In Under 4 Sec via insideevs.com
The Ford F-150 Lightning is one quick electric pickup truck, but it turns out it is quicker than originally advertised.
When the automaker announced the F-150 Lightning's targeted performance specs, it said the 0-60 mph sprint would take around 4.5 seconds when equipped with the Extended Range Battery. Now,CEO Jim Farley has taken to Twitter to announce that the F-150 Lightning with Extended Range Battery needs under 4.0 seconds to complete the benchmark sprint, a half-second improvement.
Farley said the electric F-150 is"lightning fast" in his tweet, which was accompanied by a short clip showing the F-150 Lighting driving fast on a banked oval track. Farley's description is both fitting and accurate because full-size pickups are not supposed to reach 60 mph from a standstill in under four seconds., which can cover the same sprint in as little as 3.0 seconds.
Buyers don't really need it, but it probably feels good to know your F-150 Lightning can smoke sports cars at the traffic lights. Asked whether only new F-150 Lightning vehicles get the improved acceleration, the executive made it clear that"this is just confirming official numbers on existing vehicles" after Ford had targeted mid-4 seconds.with the Extended Range Battery features an optional 131-kWh pack that enables a driving range of up to 320 miles for the XLT and Lariat trims.
Jim Farley's announcement of the improved 0-60 mph time reminds us that Ford said before the start of deliveries that the F-150 Lightning would launch with more power, more range and higher payload capacity than originally promised.
