The Pro version is intended for commercial customers and represents the ace in base.
The Platinum trim with extended-range battery and fully loaded 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning will cost you just over $90,000. The Pro model was designed for commercial customers. It is a complement to the E-Transit electric workhorse offering by Blue Oval. The starting price starts at $39974 without incentives. This can bring down the actual starting price to $26,974 (in Maine).
The pickup is equipped with a dual motor, all-wheel drive setup that produces 426 horsepower and 775 pounds (1,051 Newton-meters). The Lightning Pro is available as a SuperCrew model, with a 5.5-foot cargo platform. It comes with enough juice to get you 230 miles (370 km) according to the EPA. For those who require more power and greater range, the Lightning Pro with 563 horsepower and 300 miles (483 km) between charges can be upgraded to the $49974 model. The torque remains the same at 775 lb.ft.
The Lightning Pro comes in two flavors. You can get a Max Trailer Tow package at an additional charge. This increases the towing capacity from 7,700 to 10,000 pounds for a base model to 10, 000 for a more powerful version. Ford targets a maximum payload of 2,000 pounds for the base truck and a lower 1,850 for the extended-range battery version.
The charging solution is one of the key differences between the two models. The entry-level model comes with a 32-amp charger, while the other comes with an 80-amp charger (optional for the base model). The upgraded charger takes eight hours to recharge the extended-range battery at 15 percent. DC fast-charging at 150kW is possible. In this case, it takes 41 minutes to fully charge the battery from 15 to 80 per cent.
Ford has developed a digital tool to help commercial buyers calculate their operational costs. It factors in both purchase and lease costs as well as federal and local tax incentives, as well as regional fuel costs and energy costs. Dearborn estimates savings of 40% over the same period and 100,000 miles as a conventionally-powered F-150 equipped with the EcoBoost engine.
