Hot after announcing that they will double their production target for 2022 F-150 Lighting, Ford pushed the configuration tool of a new electric pickup to the public. It showcases everything from the work-specific Pro model to the Platinum.
From our brief time with the configurator, we’ve found it to be a bit sparsely populated. We expect that to improve as Ford moves closer to delivering the first retail units in 2022. If you’d like to explore packaging information and options more thoroughly, F150gen14.com has PDFs available for your review.
That said, checking a bunch of boxes on the Platinum model will still get you close to six-figure territory. 100,000 dollars F-150 may not yet exist, but we are certainly getting close to that particular mecca. The configurator details both standard and extended ranges the battery package, with an optional extended range pack on the two lower trims (for $19,500 and $10,000, respectively) and included on the Platinum. The standard version has a capacity of 426 hp, while the extended version has a capacity of 563 hp; both have 775 pound-feet of torque. For the larger battery version, Ford estimates a 0–60 time between 4 seconds.

No reservation in advance? Dealers will inevitably end up with units that don’t sell, but don’t count on being able to order Lightning on demand earlier than any of the 2023 model years. It could be even longer if demand continues at this rate.
