The Ford F-150 Lightning Is a unique take on legendary Ford F-150 prowess, providing you with the toughness and capability you expect from an F150 without a drop of gasoline. Yes, the F-150 Lightning is fully electric, and it sets the stage for thrilling new adventures. The F-150 Lightning might not be the only electric truck out there, but it certainly sets the bar, daring rivals like the Chevy Silverado EV to keep up if they can.
Take a look at our overview to see how the F-150 Lightning compares to the Chevy Silverado EV. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to connect with us here at our Ford dealership serving Newport News.
Towing and Hauling Power
With the right configuration, the F-150 Lightning Offers an impressive Max towing capacity of up to 10,000 pounds and a Max payload of 2,000 pounds. The Chevy Silverado EV offers comparable available towing power, but falls short in terms of payload capacity. So, if you need more muscle all around, there is an F-150 Lightning model to suit your needs.
The F-150 Lightning offers enough power to help you bring your big toys along for the ride in the Hampton area, and it does it all without burning so much as a drop of gas. If you're looking for a greener way to approach your daily adventures, the F-150 Lightning has plenty of power to go around.
Technology Features
The F-150 Lightning is practically bursting with exciting technology options. Advanced tech features abound in the F-150 Lightning. One especially notable feature is the available SYNC® 4A infotainment system, which comes with a positively gargantuan 15.5-inch touchscreen display and built-in navigation. You'll also discover a variety of other available Ford-specific tech features, such as Ford Co-Pilot360™ and the new Ford BlueCruise driver-assistance technology.
Storage Space
Another perk of the F-150 Lightning is its frunk, or the space under the hood. This is typically where the engine would go, but since the F-150 Lightning doesn't have one, it becomes storage space instead. The Chevy Silverado EV has one too, of course, but the F-150 Lightning's frunk Offers more cubic feet of space, which means more room for bringing more of your gear along for the ride.
Power Onboard
Both trucks offer a plethora of available outlets to help you keep your devices connected and charged during your adventures around Yorktown, but the F-150 Lightning has one more than the Silverado EV for a total of 11, so you'll have more options to power your adventures when you choose the F-150 Lightning.
Release Date
The F-150 Lightning was released in early 2022, but we don't expect to see the Chevy Silverado EV on dealership lots until autumn of 2023. So, if you are eager to jump into the electric pickup truck game, the F-150 Lightning has been around for a little bit, making it easier to thoroughly research and explore than the Silverado EV, which won't even touch the market until months from now.
