2015 Ford F-150 Lariat 5.0L
https://www.roadandtrack.com/news/a39863995/2023-ford-f-150-gets-power-upgrade/

Extended Range: 580 hp (up from original 563 hp) / 775 lb-ft (unchanged)
Standard Range: 452 hp (up from original 426 hp) / 775 lb-ft (unchanged)
Max hauling weight: 2235 lbs (up from 2000 lbs) [with the right options]

Per Road & Track:

F-150 Lightnings with the extended-range battery pack will now make 580 hp, up from the original figure of 563 horses. Trucks with the standard-range pack are now rated at 452 hp, up from 426. Torque remains the same for both trims, at 775 lb-ft.​
As a result of the extra power, payload capacity for the F-150 Lightning is also up over initial estimates. With the right options, Lightnings can now haul a total of 2235 pounds, up from just 2000.​
“We were seriously focused on raising the bar on this truck, including after we revealed it, so we can deliver more for our customers,” F-150 Lightning vehicle engineering manager Dapo Adewusi said in a statement. “And our drive for continuous improvement will get a big boost when we start getting feedback and ideas from customers when they receive their Lightnings.”​

extra range would have been a much nicer surprise!
It would be, but to be honest, having had an EV for a number of years now, I realize that for me, 320 is fantastic. Granted, YMMV depending on what you need the truck for.

That may come once they get a lot more battery data from customers using the trucks. Hopefully it isn't like the MachE where it was not increased on existing vehicles.

Well the extended is already up 20 from the original 300. So all around the truck is ending up slightly better than first announcements.

Ditto! Currently commuting distance a couple times a month on a 320 mile EV and would have been fine with a SR Lightning. Happy to hear this news for the payload weight increase.

So maybe the Farley 4.0 second quotes are accurate. If so, it'll be faster than my I-Pace :LOL:

Extra range might be there depending on what mode you drive the car in **fingers crossed**

Great news on the payload. It’s looking more promising all the time for towing my fifth wheel.

Yeah but in the article it says "Customers taking delivery of their new F-150 Lightnings in the coming weeks are in for a pleasant surprise once they get behind the wheel of their trucks. "
