2022 Ford F-150 Lightning – power specifications 

We know that when you ask how powerful the 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning is, you really want to know what it has been rated at for horsepower and torque, two of the main ways to judge a vehicle’s capabilities.

“Whether they’re hauling a bed full of firewood through snow or towing a trailer on a road trip, customers need to be able to rely on their truck’s performance. This all-electric truck has been engineered with dual in-board motors which means it can take on rough terrain. Our team of engineers has run the same arduous test regime our F-150 customers have learned to expect from Ford.”
