Ford F-150 Lightning Flash: A New Era of Affordable Electric Trucks
The Ford F-150 Lightning roared onto the electric truck market as the smartest, most innovative truck Ford had ever built, offering impressive power, range, and capability. As EV technology has advanced and the demand for EV trucks has grown, Ford set out to make them more accessible, so everyone could enjoy the benefits of going all-electric with the advantages of owning a truck. Enter the Ford F-150 Lightning Flash, a new trim level with a more budget-friendly starting price, now available through D’Orazio Ford in Wilmington!
As Ford Model e’s COO Marin Gjaja points out, “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 Lightning Flash is another example of the speed at which we are adapting to grow our EV business.”
The Lightning Flash is loaded with features:
While the Lightning Flash may be the more affordable, it doesn’t skimp on features. It comes standard with many of the goodies found on higher trims, making it a compelling choice for value-conscious truck buyers in the Wilmington IL area. Here are some highlights of what Lightning Flash comes with:
