Ford has introduced a new model trim level for the F-150 Lightning electric pickup truck. The Flash trim adds what the company says are the most popular add-ons customers make to the lower-cost XLT trim and does so while keeping the total price tag under $70,000.
“The F-150 Lightning Flash is a direct outcome of engaging with and learning from our customers. This truck combines many of the technology-forward features our customers love in our EV lineup, at a more accessible price. With an EPA-estimated 320 miles of range, the Lighting Flash is another example of the speed at which we are adapting to grow our EV business.” – – Marin Gjaja, Chief Operating Officer, Ford Model e
The Lightning Flash adds an extended-range battery (targeting 320 miles per EPA), BlueCruise hands-free highway driving, and a 15.5-inch touchscreen.
