[P. A. Schilke]

Hi Folks,

For those of you with EV intrest, I just got this in the email from Ford.

Seeing some good possible specs

Dual motor
300+ mile range base on Mach-E having 305

Should have more horse and torque than any existing F150 which means
450+ horsepower
0-60 under 5 secs

I'm most interested to see the towing specs

Hmm, with an all electric F-150 will it have storage in the front instead of an engine? That would be fantastic.

Yes, it will have a "frunk" [front + trunk]!

Why not a lightning package for the Ranger…

We are getting a Ranger PHEV.

I'll buy one if it doesn't have a damper Al

I want a Ranger PHEV so bad I'll buy it anyway. Removing the damper should be fairly easy. ?

The chassis is shared with Rivian, since Ford invested $500 million into this company for their skateboard chassis. If its anything similar to the power and torque of the Rivian, I see my retirement vehicle!!

I hope its similar to the quad motor, 750hp and over 1000 ft lbs of torque on the Rivian!!

I'll buy one if it has an electric damper!

Man I have some lightning buddies that will be crushed it doesn't have a supercharged V8. Man their trucks sound good.

I doubt it. Ford will be shooting for middle of the pack. not too fancy and expensive but still capable. 2 motors is fine for almost every application except for offroading or heavy hauling.

" Farley also said the electric truck......will be quicker than the original F-150 Lightning performance truck, the V8-powered truck that debuted in 1993. "

Ford is saying the F-150 Lightning can power your home during an outage.
I'd guess this will be using the same tech as current f150 or the upcoming e-transit with Pro Power Onboard which provides up to 2.4 kilowatts of power

Very excited for this upcoming truck, and am hoping that this tech eventually makes its way downmarket to the midsize segment.

So, in a multi-day power outage, you can power your home, but then what if you have to go somewhere and your battery is dead?
