F-150 Lightning Review
Ford motor company has long been hailed as one of the premier auto manufacturers in the world. The reasons are simple: durability and quality. Few automakers can compare to the robust and reliable design of a Ford vehicle. For over 100 years, Ford has continued to produce automobiles that are a testament to the quality and strength the company is known for.
And in 2022, that reputation is further solidified with the advent of the 2022 F-150 Lightning XLT, Lariat, and Platinum trims.
Rival trucks may have similar innovative attributes when it comes to electric engines. However, they will not be able to hold a candle to the enduring strength that has become synonymous with the F-150 moniker.
Let’s take a closer look at the models…
The XLT Trim
The XLT model is a robust and dynamic pickup that offers everything you need in regard to form and function. And with 426 horsepower in addition to being able to comfortably house up to 5 passengers; the XLT is both powerful and palatial.
This hefty model sports a cargo bed of 66 inches in length, 65.2 inches in width, 21.4 inches in height, and 64.8 cubic feet of space altogether. Additionally, the front and rear wheels both consist of aluminum; making the vehicle a formidable force on the road.

The XLT is equipped with such safety features as a 360-degree camera, Lane Keeping Alert, Lane Keeping Assist, Lane Departure Warning and more.

The final price for the XLT is an estimated $68,260.
