Ford CEO Jim Farley this week confirmed “the time has come” for the Ford F-150 Lightning to start appearing on public roads when the car will begin to be assembled and handed over from April 26.
Notably, the time chosen by Ford to start the Ford F-150 Lightning assembly line took place just over a week after the surprise Tesla Cybertruck. reappeared in a disastrous way.
3 years after the date it was first announced, the Tesla Cybertruck was suddenly introduced by the owner brand at an open event with a much better quality that should only be available on an internal “draft” car. instead of vehicles that are publicly introduced to users. With the audience being able to “touch with their hands” the electric pickup instead of keeping it private on stage as before, it is not difficult for them to discover the inadequacies on the car…
Back to the Ford F-150 Lightning, the car has temporarily stopped receiving new orders from the beginning of December last year because the number of pre-received orders is already higher than their ability to assemble in the near future.
Chevrolet Silverado EV will have to wait until 2024 to start handing over.
Bringing the Ford F-150 Lightning to the current market is extremely beneficial for Blue Oval when none of their competitors have caught up: Tesla Cybertruck has not yet scheduled an official assembly date (the company promises it in 2023 but we also heard the brand name). American brand promises the same thing once a year from 2019 to now) and Chevrolet Silverado EV has until 2024 to start delivering.
The starting price of the Ford F-150 Lightning is surprisingly low at $ 39,975 while the car’s specifications are not bad: a range of 370 to 500 km depending on the version, capacity of 426 or 563 hp and torque default. 1,051 Nm. This is also currently the fastest full-size pickup truck in the world when it only takes 4.5 seconds to reach a speed of 100 km / h.
