The Ford F-150 Lightning, Ford's groundbreaking all-electric pickup truck, has arrived in southeast Missouri. Poplar Bluff residents can now experience this revolutionary vehicle for themselves at Baldwin Ford-Lincoln Inc. Here are some of the top reasons the Ford F-150 Lightning has become an instant hit with drivers.
Unrivaled Electric Performance
The Ford F-150 Lightning delivers an exhilarating blend of power, torque and efficiency that gas-powered trucks can't match. The standard dual-motor powertrain cranks out 452 horsepower, while the extended-range version unleashes an astounding 580 horsepower. With up to 775 pound-feet of nearly instantaneous torque, the Ford F-150 Lightning rockets from 0-60 miles per hour in the mid-4-second range. Yet it returns an EPA-estimated range of up to 320 miles on a single charge. It's this combination of blistering performance and impressive efficiency that has Poplar Bluff drivers raving.
Cutting-Edge Tech at Your Fingertips
Inside the Ford F-150 Lightning, a stunning 15.5-inch portrait touchscreen houses the intuitive SYNC 4 infotainment system with connected navigation, cloud-based connectivity and wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto capability. A 12-inch digital instrument cluster, FordPass app with remote monitoring and control, and BlueCruise hands-free highway driving assist are just a few more of the high-tech features that make the Ford F-150 Lightning a joy to operate around the highways and back roads of Poplar Bluff.
Rugged Good Looks, Inside and Out
The Ford F-150 Lightning retains the bold, muscular exterior styling of its gas-fueled siblings while adding a few key flourishes that broadcast its electric credentials. Notable examples include the dynamic LED light bars that stretch across the front and rear, a sleek charging port insert on the front fender, and unique wheel designs. Inside, the spacious cabin surrounds occupants with upscale materials and a clean, modern aesthetic anchored by the tablet-style touchscreen. Clever touches abound, like the fold-out work surface on upper trims.
Versatility for Work and Play
The F-150 Lightning is immensely capable, with a maximum towing capacity of 10,000 pounds when properly equipped. The standard-range model can haul up to 2,235 pounds of payload, while the extended-range version ups that figure to 1,952 pounds—serious truck stuff either way. And because the Lightning lacks a gas engine up front, it frees up space for a cavernous front trunk that provides an additional 14.1 cubic feet of lockable storage. With 11 outlets spread throughout, the Lightning can even power a worksite or tailgate party for days.
