Ford just started shipping its electric F-150 lightning on April 26th. All versions of the truck will have higher horsepower than it originally announced. Ford stopped taking pre-orders for the truck in December.

Ford announced its electric pickup in May 2021, the company estimated the standard battery pack version would make 426 horsepower. The extended range will get a whopping 580 horsepower.

Ford announced the lightning that only the standard-range model could haul 2,000 pounds. The extended range’s extra batteries meant it was limited to a maximum of 1,800 pounds.

Ford’s press release notes they’re calculated from the’peak performance of the electric motor (s) at peak battery power’. Your truck may make less horsepower 250 miles into a trip than it will fresh off the charger.
