From the moment you catch a glimpse of the fascinating Ford Lightning, you’ll be drawn to its powerful presence and modern style radiating throughout. Well, it’s not just dashing good looks and ultimate durability that set this pickup truck apart from the rest. It’s loaded with features to improve your life, whether you’re on the road, at home, working on the job site, camping, or wherever your journey takes you next. At Loganville Ford, we’re the area’s premier Ford Lightning dealer, and you may be wondering, what are the benefits of owning a Lightning? Sure, you can take advantage of the superior range and iconic Ford power, but you may be surprised by just how much value and convenience the Lightning will add to your day.

Stepping in When the Lights Go Out

No one likes to lose power in their home, especially when you’ve just stocked up on a fridge full of groceries, but when you have a Ford F-150 Lightning in your driveway, you won’t have to stress when the power will come back on. This electrified pickup acts as a backup generator for your home, powering your lights, appliances, and more so that you can remain comfortable until the electric company fixes the issue.

Intelligent Backup Power comes to the rescue, automatically powering your home when connected to an 80-amp home charging station. What’s even more incredible is that when you opt for the extended-range battery, your Lightning can power your home for up to three days, ten days if you ration your energy usage. There won’t be any worries about when the lights will come back on when you’ve got a Lightning watching out for your home, which is reason enough to want to test drive this truck ASAP.

Ready to Go When You Are

Another thing no one likes to do is carve out time from their busy day to go to the gas station. Not only is it expensive and often packed, it’s dirty and inconvenient; but when you own a Lightning, your days of going to the gas station are over. This all-electric pickup truck adds convenience to your day, especially when you opt for the home charging station to help you get charged up and ready to roll in no time. With multiple charging levels available, you can design the option that fits your lifestyle. All you need to do is plug your Lightning in when you get home from work, and it’s ready to go by the next morning. Say goodbye to your favorite gas station attendants because you won’t need to visit them anymore.

Always Keeping You up to Date

Imagine being able to predict the future, like how much traffic is on your way to work or what the weather will be like at your destination. These factors can heavily influence your vehicle’s range, and when the Lightning is in charge of your journey, it takes these factors into consideration. This way, you’ll be fully aware of how much available range you have, even when you’re traveling to unfamiliar territories. Its Intelligent Range feature takes into account weather, traffic, terrain, payload, and more to help provide you with the most accurate range possible.

Amplifying Your Cargo Space

The beauty of owning an electric vehicle is that you have much more space for all of your stuff. There’s no clutter under the hood, which frees this space up to be more convenient for you. Its Mega-Power Frunk (front trunk, get it?) maximizes space on board the 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning, providing an additional 14.1 cu.ft. of space for your travel belongings. It’s an excellent place to store valuables and comes in handy when traveling with more. The Lightning has the largest front trunk of any electric pickup, and it’s not only large but also durable and resistant to the elements. What’s more is that it showcases a number of outlets to power your must-have travel devices, and it offers a payload capacity of 400 lbs, making it easy to take on anything your day entails.

Armed With Pro Power

Having access to an electrical outlet while you’re out in the wilderness may be a challenge, but not when driving the F-150 Lightning. With Pro Power Onboard, you’ll be able to power tools, equipment, electronics, and more without having to be within close proximity to a building. An available 9.6-kWh outlet lets you power more, allowing you to complete tasks on the job site without hesitation. With up to 11 power outlets located conveniently throughout the Lightning, you’ll be bringing the power with you everywhere you go.

Working Hard for You

Many drivers work from the road; it’s just the nature of business these days. With the convenience of Wi-Fi hotspots and easily transported devices, getting more done from our vehicles is a given. Fortunately, the Lighting can be transformed into an interior workspace, acting as your office on wheels. This available work surface folds from the center console, making it easy to situate your laptop, tablet, paperwork, or anything else you need right in front of you so that you can get more done on the road. The days of reporting to an office are over, especially when you have a truck as accommodating as the Lightning.

No Hands Necessary

You have a lot on your mind when traveling; sometimes, your focus may be on other things besides the drive. Again, the Lightning steps up to the plate offering groundbreaking hands-free driving capabilities to make your time on the road safer and more focused. Through Ford’s BlueCruise technology, you’re able to let your Lightning take the reins, steering, braking, and handling traffic for you, all without your hands being on the wheel. Available on over 130,000 miles of roadways across North America, sitting back and letting your truck handle the drive is a reality for Lightning owners.

A Talented Tailgate

The F-150 Lightning’s tailgate features more than meets the eye. With the available Power Tailgate, you can load up your Lightning with materials for the job site, even when your hands are full. Plus, with multiple LED lights illuminating your bed, staying late to get some extra work done is easy when the Lightning is on the scene. You’ll even have access to a variety of hooks and tie-downs to secure all of your cargo for the journey ahead.

Serious About Towing

There’s no doubt about it—any vehicle found at a Ford truck dealer is serious about power, and the all-electric Lightning is no exception. Able to tow up to 10,000 lbs, this superstar is ready to tackle your haul, and it’s loaded with features to make your load safer and you more confident, no matter where you’re traveling. With advanced towing and hauling technology, you’ll be able to hitch up your trailer, navigate through traffic, and maneuver through tricky situations, all with the Lightning leading the charge. From a Smart Hitch to a Trailer Brake Controller, you’ll have maximum assurance while towing in the Lightning. Perhaps what’s most appreciated is the On-Board Scales feature, which helps you load up your truck intelligently so that you don’t overload it, keeping your haul safe and secure.
