DESIGN INTERNAL ED 
Ford points out that it has tweaked some aspects of the design to improve aerodynamics and therefore efficiency. The interior space is not; changed compared to the endothermic model. Most accessories made for the F-150 are also compatible with the battery variant. To underline the presence of a large front trunk which has a capacity; of 400 liters. This load compartment is equipped with 4 electrical sockets and 2 USB sockets.
The frame is been reinforced to handle the increase in weight due to the presence of the battery. The rear suspension has also been revised to improve comfort. Depending on the version chosen, the new F-150 Lightning offers a payload of up to about 900 kg and a capacity; towing up to 4.535 kg. The body has a length of about 1.7 meters.
TECHNOLOGY AND ENGINES 
In the cockpit & egrave; there is also a lot of technology. The instrumentation is; digital and can & ograve; count on a 12-inch screen. The infotainment is basically the one seen inside the Ford Mustang Mach-E. In fact, a 15.5-inch vertical display stands outequipped with SYNC 4 platform. Supports Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Amazon Alexa and OTA & quot; Ford Power-Up & quot; updates. Thanks to the FordPass app it will be can manage the pickup remotely as well as having access to a large network for charging the vehicle while you & egrave; on the go.
The pickup also features some clever solutions. For example, & egrave; present a sort of & quot; integrated scale & quot; which, using a series of sensors, makes an estimate of the transported load to be communicated to the driver. This data will allow & agrave; the car to better calculate the remaining range as well. And to better manage driving with a trailer, & egrave; Pro Trailer Hitch Assist is available.
The new Ford F-150 Lightning also features the interesting Ford Intelligent Backup Power which turns it into a source of backup energy for the home . In the event of a blackout, through the special 80A Ford Charge Station Pro wallbox and a management system that Ford helps to install, the vehicle will be able to; power all electrical devices in the house until the electricity is restored (up to a power of 9.6 kW). Since the average consumption of a home is of 30 kWh per day, Ford estimates that its vehicle with the largest battery capacity; may & agrave; provide energy for 3 days which increase to 10 by rationalizing consumption.
The pickup can & ograve; also power electrical devices connected to its power outlets. Whether it's a mini car fridge or a work tool, Ford's new battery-powered model will be; capable of providing energy for operation.
All this is; possible thanks to the pickup batteries. Unfortunately, Ford has not yet wanted to share details on accumulators. At the moment, it is known that the new Ford F-150 Lightning will be; proposed in the & quot; Standard-Range Battery & quot; versions and & quot; Extended-Range Battery & quot ;. The estimated range according to the EPA cycle reaches, respectively, up to 230 and 300 miles (370 and 482 km). In direct current & egrave; It is possible to recharge both accumulators at a maximum power of 150 kW. In alternating current up to 11.3 kW (19.2 kW the Extended version). Given the charging times (41 minutes 0-80% DC at 150 kW for the Extended), & egrave; It is reasonable to imagine that the capacity of the batteries will be particularly high.
Speaking of the powertrain, we have a scheme with two electric motors , one per axis. Present, therefore, the four-wheel drive. The power is 318 kW with 1,051 Nm of torque (Standard) and 420 kW with 1,051 Nm (Extended). Few details on performance. Ford si & egrave; limited to saying which model pi & ugrave; performing & egrave; capable of accelerating from 0 to 60 mph (96 km/h) in a range of 4 to 5 seconds. Available to the driver, 4 modes Driving range: Normal, Sport, Off-Road eTow/Haul.
On the ADAS front, the pickup features Ford Co-Pilot360 technology. There is also BlueCruise which allows true hands-free driving on 100,000 miles of American and Canadian highways.
