Here it is the all-new all-electric all-capable f-150 lightning i'm linda zhang tonight feels
like a dream come true for me it's a dream that started when i was eight years old enrolled in a
car for the first time just after my family moved to america to start a new life eleven years after
that day i joined ford when i was 19 and now i feel so fortunate to have led an amazing team
that worked day and night for the past three years to create the truck of the future f-150 lightning
anything is possible when you dream big and that's what we did so let me tell you why f-150 lightning
is like no other truck building on over a century of truck know-how we unlocked the full potential
of ev technology and wherever we saw the opportunity to improve we took it
jim will tell you about the drive experience but with its low center of gravity and perfect weight
balance this is the best handling f-150 ever and it has the fastest acceleration of any f-150
to harness that performance f-150 lightning features four selectable drive modes normal
sports off-road and tow haul and is always 4x4 plus the ownership experience is
packed with advantages only ford evs offer you get revolutionary power on the go available features
like enhanced pro power on board delivers up to 9.6 kilowatts available at 21 charge points around
the truck including 11 outlets enough to power an awesome tailgate or eve an entire work site
and at home intelligent backup power makes the f-150 lightning your own personal power plant
automatically powering your house for three days during an outage this is a first for an ev truck
there's storage under the hood like you've never seen before and a standard full-size bed
inside f-150 lightning comes as a supercrew with plenty of room for five
f-150 lightning offers an ingenious array of connected intelligent features with enhanced
zone lighting all around the truck you can find your tools or light up your campsite available
onboard scales analyze your payload while ford intelligent range pulls in factors like that
payload alongside weather traffic and towing information to accurately calculate your arrange
and with fordpass power my trip will identify charging routes before even starting your journey
not only do you get a 12 inch digital cluster you can also get a massive 15 and a half inch center
screen running sync 4a which puts control of this connected truck at your fingertips plus a suite
of new tools like smart hitch and pro trailer hitch assist means that towing doesn't need to
be a two-person job it's also the only electric pickup that's built forward tough dependable
and torture tested with an all-new frame which uses the strongest steel ever in an f-150
this is a truck that can tow up to ten thousand pounds up a brutal hill in extreme heat or cold
rugged underbody protection keeps the battery safe with metal skid plates shielding both the battery
and inboard motors from tough terrain the battery itself is secure inside a waterproof casing
surrounded by crash absorption protection which all adds up to excellent off-road performance this
is the smartest most innovative f-150 ford has ever built designed to bring our customers what
we believe is the best driving and ownership experience on the planet with zero emissions
i'll hand it over now to our president and ceo jim farley to tell you more thank you
well thank you linda i also want to thank bill ford gerald karim and this incredible team
that made this evening possible this is what passion of the ford motor company can do
this is american innovation and this is a moment of tremendous pride for all of us at ford
this revolutionary truck will be built just a couple of miles away from here at the rouge where
my grandfather and so many others were proud to punch in every day as gerald said you heard the
specs and details from linda she's terrific but i want to tell you what it actually feels like
to drive this truck you know i've been lucky enough to be involved with lots
of amazing vehicles in my career with a few brands but this truck is totally different
bill ford and i went to the test track recently to drive an advanced prototype
and even though it was pretty close to the development of the f-150 lightning
i was completely blown away it's like no pickup truck i have ever driven the driving experience
is a complete thrill we're targeting 770 foot-pounds of torque
and just under 600 horsepower the 0-60 for this truck is in the mid-four second range that's
quicker than the raptor and it's a lot quicker than the original svt lightning performance truck
but what makes it so unique is it's so quick but it's super quiet inside and so smooth
it's got a totally new independent rear suspension as linda said standard four wheel
drive and a very low center of gravity because of the batteries it hauls ass and toes like a beast
metaphorically it might as well have a superman cape and a captain america shield
now if you lose power at home like the ice storms in texas
the f-150 lightning will power your house for day upon day upon day and it's all seamless
and controlled through your phone on the ford pass app and then there's the mega power frunk
it's a whole new automotive term you press a button and the whole front of the truck opens
and it's amazing 400 liters of space 400 pounds of payload up there four plugs to power your
tools at a at a work site your traeger grill your flat flat screen tv your mini fridge and tailgate
and the cabin is a perfect blend of luxury no one does luxury like the f-150 but technology and lots
of clever features and boy do we have technology including a true hands-free highway driving system
we call ford blue crews the f-150 lightning will just get better and better every day every month
every year with the over-there update that we call ford power-ups they'll fix bugs
continually improve the user experience and add completely new features at technologies now range
will never be a concern with this truck you charge it overnight and with the extended range batteries
we put as standard dual onboard chargers that make the charging go really fast and you roll
out in the morning with the electric equivalent of a full tank of gas and if you need to charge
on the go you'll have access to the largest public charging network in north america thanks to ford
now a lot of people would think with all of that all of those features all that capability all that
technology that this would be a six figure trophy truck and i'm proud to say we worked really hard
and this f-150 lightning starts at just under forty thousand dollars
and that's before you get your federal or state tax credits and if you're a commercial customer
we have an f-150 lightning just for you it offers the lowest cost of ownership of any truck we've
ever made it needs less maintenance because it has 40 percent less moving parts and powertrain
and of course you never have to stop at the gas station but this is just one part of the ford plan
as bill said to lead the electric revolution let's take a look so right next to me
is the mustang maki that has redefined the american muscle car for the electric era
people see it they drive it and then they buy it 70 percent of the people who have
ordered the mustang machi are brand new to ford now for all of you here tonight
i really like speed this is your lucky day because this is the new gt performance version
of the mustang maki it's much faster than the the one that we've already launched it looks great
it is fantastic to drive and over there is the backbone of business the most innovative
and genius version of the number one commercial van not just in the us but in the world
now that e-transit will launch later this year here and in europe and there's the f-150 lightning
now this truck represents all that our country can do when we push for progress as bill said
so that's the end of the show but frankly it's just the beginning of a whole new era at ford
