The Ford F-150 Lightning is a ground-breaking electric truck that shakes up the entire category, which its recent win as the 2023 MotorTrend Truck of the Year helps show. The electric Ford F-150 brought home this honor that compares all new trucks in categories ranging from value to engineering excellence, both areas where this model shines. There are many other areas where this electric truck stands out, which we'd love to tell you about.
The electric powertrain is the star of the 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning. It packs a punch with 580 horsepower and 775 pound-feet of torque, which allow for a 10,000-pound towing capacity and a 2,000-pound payload capacity. If you lose power, you can run your home on the battery of the F-150 Lightning, which shows just how functional this model is. MotorTrend noted how the Ford F-150 Lightning remains a model that truck lovers will appreciate even with electric motors powering it.
