Ford recently announced that orders are now open for 2024 F-150 Lightning electric pickup trucks. Normally, there’s not much news when an automaker announces a new model year, but one big news item is some impressively low prices for the F-150 Lightning Flash, a tech-focused variant/trim of the truck.
“The F-150 Lightning Flash is a direct outcome of engaging with and learning from our customers.” said Marin Gjaja, CEO at Ford Model e at the time the trim was announced late last year. “This truck combines many of the technology-forward features our customers love in our EV lineup, at a more accessible price. With an EPA-estimated 320 miles of range, the Lightning Flash is another example of the speed at which we are adapting to grow our EV business.
First off, there’s a new vapor injection heat pump system. As with all heat pumps, it helps lower energy consumption in the winter months, but Ford’s patent for the system uses vapor injection for both the heating and cooling modes, so the benefits should be year-round. While heating generally hurts range more than air conditioning, this should be a help.
Another thing Ford’s changing is that the Tow Technology Package is standard on the XLT and above trims. This means all of the trucks will get the Smart Hitch, On-Board Scales, 360 camera, Pro Trailer Backup Assist, Pro Trailer Hitch Assist, and Trailer Reverse Guidance. So, everyone will have an easier time towing.
