These livestreams are themed, they won't answer that question. This livestream is about how the truck performs for work activities.

Yeah at this point we know that the frunk has no engine in there. Bummer - I had hoped we'd get more info.

Quick! Back to speculation and rumor mills...... Doh

Again, nothing new in the livestream. All this info was already available in May. This is aimed at people who never heard about the Lightning before.

 

[Lime Green]

fine here. no new info if you've been to one of the Lightning roadshow events and listened to a ford person or talked to one. But probably informative to people who have been unable to and who don't frequent these forums.

Yet hilariously kind of obscure and hard to get to this stream if you weren't hardcore looking for information.

I wonder what the target audience is of this stream. Any reservation holder would know there is no engine in an EV. And people who don’t have a reservation won’t be able to buy one until 2024.

400 liter cooler compartment? Is it really 100 gallons? I must have heard him wrong!



Yeah, I don't need to be sold on a light on the ceiling of the frunk. Every car has a light on the ceiling of the trunk.

"When will we see the pricing tool?" Answer: Not yet

Watching the livestream and holly crap the video intro kept repeating. Hope the launch goes better

it is fine now.. in the beginning they started to play a lead in video that they kept replaying. What I really wanted to see was multiple Milwakuee packout boxes in frunk. Wondiner if you can get 1, 2 or 4 in there

Nice advertising plug for Milwaukee tonight. I do like that miter saw.

Wow...didn't know the towing difference for the platinum...only tows 8400lbs but they are targeting 1800lbs payload for it.

Onboard scales is optional on everything but the platinum.

EDIT: oh, and the 2.4kW pro power is standard on the Pro and XLT (9.6 optional). 9.6kw is standard on lariat and platinum.

 

[BruinIvy]

Like others side, nothing really new.

Nov. they will go over "technology"
Dec. they will go over "charging"

There are 501a and 511a packages on the Lariat model.

I tuned in too late, it was already over. What did I miss?

 

[sotek2345]

Picked up a few minor things in the comment section.

-star white will only be available on Lariat and Platinum trims

- reconfirmed that the work surface will not be available at all on the Pro

- the 2.4kw onboard power (vs. 9.6) has 4 outlets in the frunk, 2 in the cab, and 2 on the bed. (That may be old news)

I wonder if this is right. I asked if all the ICE F-150 colors would be available on the Lightning. Here's the answer I got:


Thanks for your question, there is a slight difference in color offerings, but to make it easy, here are the colors that are available on Lightning.

• Agate Black Metallic
• Antimatter Blue Metallic
• Albas (Atlas) Blue Metallic
• Carbonized Gray Metallic
• Iced Blue Silver
• Iconic Blue Silver
• Oxford White
• Rapid Red Metallic
• Smoke Quartz Metallic
• Star White Metallic
• Stone Gray Metallic

Smoke Quartz Metallic??? That's the first I've heard of that. I would be so happy if that was true.

Don't be disappointed with 8400# towing capacity. The percentage of F150's that are actually towing 8400lbs is miniscule. You run out of Payload by that point anyway.

And as much as I love the Lightning, EV & towing aren't exactly a match made in heaven. Especially anywhere near towing capacity numbers.
