Ford Motor<\/a>\u00a0says its new\u00a0electric F-150 Lightning<\/a>\u00a0pickup will be profitable when it arrives in U.S. dealer showrooms<\/strong> next year, with pricing<\/strong> between about $40,000<\/strong> and $90,000<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The F-150 Lightning<\/strong> is arguably the most important vehicle to the company in years. It is expected to safeguard the Ford F-Series\u2019<\/strong>\u00a0decades-long sales leadership<\/a>\u00a0in the U.S. amid the industry\u2019s expected shift to EVs. F-Series<\/strong> includes the F-150<\/strong> and its larger siblings. It is a roughly\u00a0$42 billion business<\/a>\u00a0for Ford and its biggest profit center.<\/strong><\/p>\n The 2022 F-150 Lightning<\/strong> is estimated at up to 563 horsepower<\/strong> and 775 pound feet<\/strong> of torque \u2014 about 130 horsepower<\/strong> and 200 pound feet<\/strong> of torque more than the top-rated version with an engine. It also features an extremely large front trunk,\u00a0also known as a frunk,<\/a>\u00a0for additional storage<\/strong> and which should come in handy for other<\/strong> use cases such as tailgating<\/strong> and camping.<\/strong><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.enerjigazetesi.ist\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/elektrikli-ford-f-150-lightningin-fiyati-40-000-90-000-araliginda-olacak.jpg\")
