The 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning comes in four different trim levels, each designed to meet the unique demands of different drivers. Each of these four brings something new to the table, whether you’re looking for a commuter car or an on-the-clock hauler.
These trims include:
- PRO
- XLT
- LARIAT
- Platinum
Focusing on the 2023 F-150 Lightning LARIAT, you'll find luxuries like a 15.5-inch touchscreen and an Interior Work Surface that turns into a mobile office anytime, anywhere.
In contrast, the F-150 Lightning Platinum redefines luxury with features like a premium B&O® Unleashed Sound System by Bang & Olufsen and Active Motion® massage seats, delivering an unparalleled driving experience.
Don't be fooled by the Lightning's eco-friendly nature. This behemoth packs a punch with an eye-watering 775 lb-ft of torque and up to 580 horsepower. Yes, you read that right: an all-electric truck that doesn’t skimp on performance. In Flushing and Flint, this means you can tow your boat to the lake with the same gusto you'd expect from any gas-powered Ford F-150.
What truly sets the Lightning apart is its EPA-estimated 320-mile range. In practical terms, that means you can make round trips from Flushing to Swartz Creek, MI, without breaking a sweat about battery life. With the Ford F-150 Lightning, going electric doesn’t mean sacrificing capabilities. You can go more and stop less.
Ford Co-Pilot™ 360 technology takes safety to new heights, with features like available Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind Spot Information System (BLIS®) with Cross-Traffic Alert, and a Lane-Keeping System, among others. Imagine driving down the crowded highways near Flint; the Lane-Keeping System would ensure you stay within your lane, even when distractions arise.
Additionally, the Ford Co-Pilot™ 360 technology includes Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking. This is particularly useful—and life-saving—in the event a pedestrian suddenly steps onto the road. The system would alert you and could automatically apply the brakes if you fail to respond, adding an extra layer of protection for you and those around you.
