How We'd Spec It: 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning in its more affordable forms:
I like luxury items and I’m not afraid to spend money on the things I like. But value is a key component, which is why my Lightning spec is a Pro and has only three options necessary to do the work I need a truck to do: the Tow Technology and Max Trailer Tow packages and a factory spray-in bed liner . Wait, what? The Max Trailer Tow package, which bumps the tow rating from 5000 pounds to 7700 with the standard-range battery, forces the Pro Power Onboard option.
So what else do I need? I’m going with the $825 max trailer tow package, which brings upgraded cooling for the battery and motors. I’ll want the spray-in bedliner for $595, and let’s throw on all-terrain tires for another $150. And that’s it. That will adequately meet my pickup-truck needs, inasmuch as my pickup-truck needs involve 580 horsepower, 775 lb-ft of torque and the ability to transform on demand into a local power utility. After the $7500 Federal tax credit , I’m back under $70,000.
