2022 Ford F-150 Lightning

The 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning is available in four trims: Pro, XLT, Lariat, and Platinum. The standard cab and bed configuration for all trims is the F-150 SuperCrew (crew cab), along with a 5.6-foot bed. The entry-level Pro sits atop 18-inch wheels and illuminates your journey with LED headlights.

You can choose the 312A package on the XLT to get larger 20-inch wheels along with a power tailgate. Upgrade to the Lariat to get power-folding side mirrors, LED cargo bed lighting, and a power-sliding rear window. The optional 511A package adds a twin-panel panoramic sunroof and rain-sensing wipers for rainy days. Lastly, the Platinum rolls down the road on 22-inch wheels, demanding attention from every driver you pass.

Even with no gasoline or diesel engine, the 2022 Ford Lightning packs plenty of power. A pair of inboard motors crank out an impressive 563 horsepower and 775 pound-feet of torque. The standard battery pack for the first three trims is a 98-kilowatt-hour battery pack with a 230-mile estimated driving range. The Platinum has as its standard battery pack an extended range 131-kWh battery pack that gets 300 miles per charge, which is optional for the Lariat.

No matter what trim you choose, you get an in-home charging Ford Charge Station Pro, providing a 30-mile charge in around an hour. For a more rapid charge, select the 240-volt charging option. In addition, you'll find many 150-kWh charging stations along the way.

Leading off the 2022 Ford Lighting performance features is the cutting-edge BlueCruise, an autonomous driving system with hands-free driving on pre-mapped divided highways throughout the U.S. and Canada. In addition, the Pro Power Onboard system offers household-style outlets in the bed, frunk (front trunk), and cab, which can power your worksite or serve as a home generator in an emergency. To increase the maximum towing capacity to 10,000 pounds, dependent on the trim you opt for, go with the Max Trailer Tow package.

The time spent on interior design is immediately evident once you slide behind the wheel of the 2022 Ford Lightning. With the entry-level Pro, you get dual-zone automatic climate control, a six-speaker sound system, keyless entry, and a 12-inch infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The XLT adds under-seat rear storage, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a power-adjustable driver's seat. Select the Lariat for leather upholstery, an eight-speaker audio system, ventilated front seats, a 15.5-inch touchscreen, and a wireless charging pad. The upscale Platinum upgrades you with incredible comfort features such as an 18-speaker Bang & Olufsen system, massaging front seats, and upgraded leather upholstery.

Ford understands how vital safety and driver-assistance features are to today's drivers, and the 2022 Lightning offers plenty. Standard safety features include automatic emergency braking, a lane-keeping system, a blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert, and rear parking sensors. You can also opt for features such as front parking sensors, an evasive steering assist, a 360-degree camera system, adaptive cruise control, a lane-keeping system, and Pro Trailer Backup Assist.
