Ford F-150 Lightning: Everything You Need To Know Before Ordering

This week, Ford is opening the order bank for the all-new F-150 Lightning all-electric pickup and, since the configurator is now online, let’s take a look at the details.

Fleet customers were able to place an order starting yesterday (January 5), while retail customers can place an order today (January 6).

There are four main versions of the Ford F-150 Lightning, some with two battery options, but the retail customers will not have access to all of the configurations.

The Standard Range Battery (SR) and Extended Range Battery (ER) are expected to offer up to 230 miles (370 km) and up to 300 miles (483 km) of EPA range. The ER option costs $10,000 and it is combined also with the increase of vehicle power output from 318 kW to 420 kW.

Let’s see (MSRP without DST):

• Pro
  110A with SR: $39,974
  110A with ER (only for fleets)
• XLT
  311A with SR: $52,974
  311A with ER (only for fleets)
  312A with ER: $72,474
• Lariat
  510A with SR: $67,474
  510A with ER (only for fleets)
  511A with ER: $77,474
• Platinum
  710A with ER: $90,874

While the Ford F-150 Lightning with the Standard Range Battery starts at $39,974, the retail customers will have to spend no less than $72,474 to get the Extended Range Battery version.

The reason for that is the additional stuff associated with the ER battery option. The ER in the XLT requires not only $10,000 for the battery but also $9,500 for the additional stuff in the 312A trim ($19,000 total). Fleet Pro customers will be able to get the ER battery for $49,974.

According to the dealer info that we have seen in the f150gen14.com forum, it’s expected that the majority of Ford F-150 Lightning sales will be the two top trims (Platinum and Lariat).

Prices

The exact total battery capacity has not been revealed, but the usable capacity – according to the previous report – is 98 kWh and 131 kWh. We assume that the total might be 110 kWh and 145 kWh respectively, but it’s just a guess. In May, we expected it would be substantially more (125 kWh and 170 kWh).
