With production set to spark up in mid-2022, we should be getting our first glimpses of the all-electric Ford F-150 any ol’ time now. When that day comes, it may very well be introduced under a familiar name: the Ford F-150 Lightning.
C&D “we’re excited to introduce the all-electric F-150 very soon.”
F-150 Lightning would (kind of) revive a fan favorite
Ford fans will recall that the Lightning name originally belonged to the 1993 Ford SVT F-150 Lightning, a performance-focused street truck from the Special Vehicle Team. The OG SVT F-150 Lightning got a 240-horsepower 5.8-liter Windsor V8, Monroe Formula GP shock absorbers, and a mid-seven-second 0-60 mph. Safe to say, it was pretty wild.
