The Ford F-150 has been one of the popular models in Cumming for some time. As the times have changed and more technology has been developed, Ford has also adjusted its inventory. The company recently started offering the Ford F-150 Lightning, an all-electric model with amazing capability and several high-tech features. At Troncalli Automotive Group, we carry the Lightning Pro, XLT, Lariat, and Platinum trims.
Every new Ford F-150 Lightning runs on two electric motors. When paired with a standard-range battery, these motors can provide 452 horsepower. This is an amazing amount of power, and it's only the starting point. If you get a model with an extended-range battery, you get up to 580 horsepower. Both engines offer 775 pound-feet of torque, more than any other F-150. These numbers show you how well-equipped this truck is in terms of performance. Even better, it comes standard with all-wheel drive. Selectable drive modes can let you optimize how the pickup handles itself. Choices include Normal, Sport, Tow/Haul, and Off-Road.
The battery on the Lightning will give you much freedom to explore. The standard battery will let you travel about 230 miles before needing to stop for a charge, and the extended-range battery comes with a range of 320 miles. The technology in the Lightning will help you identify convenient public charging stations. The BlueOval Charge Network is extensive, so you'll have many options. Of course, you can charge your battery at home whenever you want. What's amazing is that the power delivery can be reversed when necessary. The Lightning can be used as a portable generator when you need access to power from the field. It can also be hooked up to your home if you experience a power outage.
This truck benefits from a fully-boxed frame. It's tough and durable, and you can use the available power tailgate when loading and unloading your cargo. Additional storage space is found in the front, where an engine would be in a traditional vehicle. This front trunk, or "frunk" as we call it, has hooks, tie-downs, and a cargo net. Additionally, it has four 120V outlets and two USB outlets. More storage is included in the truck's cabin. The rear seat can be flipped up to access a convenient compartment.
Five people can fit together comfortably in the Lightning. The standard package includes dual-zone electronic automatic climate control, push-button start, and heated front seats. A higher trim can have power-adjustable front seats and a driver's seat with a memory function. The rear seats can be heated, too, and leather upholstery is available. The Platinum's front seats can even treat you to a massage as you travel around Buford.
If you love technology, you'll appreciate what the Lightning offers. Its basic technology package includes a 12-inch touchscreen, navigation, and a SYNC 4 interface. When the Wi-Fi hotspot is engaged, it can connect with up to ten devices. Many models are upgraded with 15.5-inch touchscreens, SiriusXM, and Bang and Olufsen sound systems. Further, all Lightning trucks are equipped with 12-inch digital productivity screens.
Most importantly, perhaps, this Ford truck can keep you safe. Its driver-assist systems, such as lane-keeping assist, pre-collision assist, and blind-spot monitoring, can look out for problems that could arise as you commute from Canton to Duluth. Automatic emergency braking and corrective steering can engage if needed. Plus, some Lightnings can handle steering and adjust your speed on certain types of roads.
