What Made the Ford F-150 Lightning Stand Out? 

The Ford F-150 Lightning was unveiled in May 2021. Pre-production on the all-new electric truck started in September 2021, with production beginning in April 2022. The Edmunds team acknowledged that the F-150 Lightning’s advanced technology provides new solutions and values to customers that rely daily on the truck’s capabilities. 

“[F-150 Lightning] embraces the advantages of electric technology to create a better truck for truckers,” said Edmunds Editor-in-Chief Alistair Weaver. “This isn’t a lifestyle toy; it’s a working tool in the best tradition of the F-150. The heart of America is in robust health.”
