In response to evolving consumer preferences and the ever-growing demand for electric vehicles (EVs), Ford is introducing a new iteration of its all-electric F-150 Lightning pickup truck. The F-150 Lightning Flash, as it's aptly named, places a strong emphasis on cutting-edge technology and extended battery range while maintaining affordability.
With a starting price of $69,995 (excluding the destination fee), the F-150 Lightning Flash comes equipped with an impressive extended battery range of 320 miles, making it an appealing choice for drivers prioritizing range. Among its notable features, the Flash boasts the 1.2 version of Ford's hands-free advanced driver assistance system, complete with lane-changing capabilities. The interior features a spacious 15.5-inch touchscreen, a convenient power tailgate, keyless entry, and a wireless charging pad for added convenience.
What sets the F-150 Lightning Flash apart is its competitive pricing, which still qualifies for the federal tax credit of $7,500, further enhancing its affordability for environmentally conscious consumers.
This latest addition to Ford's F-150 Lightning lineup reflects the automaker's commitment to meeting the expectations of tech-savvy customers who value both cutting-edge technology and an extended driving range. With an eye on attracting a diverse customer base, including those familiar with brands like Tesla, Ford aims to offer a compelling EV option tailored to a range of preferences.
Interested buyers can look forward to placing their online orders for the F-150 Lightning Flash starting in early 2024. Positioned just below the Lariat trim and above the XLT, the Flash represents a strategic addition to Ford's expanding EV portfolio.
In addition to the Flash, Ford is keeping its pricing strategy competitive for other 2024 Lightning trims. The 2024 F-150 Lightning Pro, Ford's entry-level trim, maintains its attractive price point of $49,995. Meanwhile, the XLT standard range will see a slight price increase to $57,495. The 2024 Ford F-150 Lightning Lariat extended range retains its pricing at $77,495, offering a premium option for discerning EV enthusiasts. The Platinum trim is also seeing a price reduction, dropping by $2,000 to $89,995. Additionally, the 2024 limited-edition F-150 Lightning Platinum Black with extended range will be available at a starting price of $97,995, providing a premium EV experience for those seeking top-tier features and performance.
