Will the Ford F-150 Lightning Demonstrator Survive Pikes Peak? 

Ford Performance returns to America's Mountain for the 102nd running of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, brought to you by Gran Turismo. 

Competitors in the legendary Pikes Peak International Hillclimb race against each other on a 12.5-mile stretch of winding mountain road, featuring corners with ominous names like Bottomless Pit, Ragged Edge, and Devil's Playground.

This year, Ford will bring an all-new Ford F-150 Lightning electric vehicle demonstrator truck to Colorado Springs, Colorado, as competitor No. 150. 

The entry follows the electric SuperVan, which ascended Pikes Peak in 2023. 

Important dates: 

• Qualifying days run from June 18-20, 2024. 
• The Hill Climb takes place on June 23. 

Ford F-150 Lightning Spec Updates

In late 2023, Ford Pro reported that the 2024 F-150 Lightning will have a new onboard charging configuration. The extended-range Lightning model now comes with a standard 11.5 kW onboard charger. Additionally, a fleet-only option is available to increase the onboard charger capacity to 19.2 kW.

These new offerings, along with Ford Pro's telematics software, charging solutions, and fleet financing solutions, are specifically designed to help fleet managers transition their fleets to electric vehicles. The aim is to accelerate productivity and reduce the total cost of ownership.
