The official range estimates for the Ford F-150 Lightning pickup truck<\/a> are in, and they\u2019re looking pretty good. The base model, which starts at $39,974, will get around 230 miles of range, while the extended range versions start in the mid-$50,000s and can go about 320 miles \u2014 or about 20 additional miles than originally expected.<\/p>\n

These numbers come courtesy of the US Environmental Protection Agency, which tested the seven variations of the F-150 Lightning and F-150 Lightning Pro. The tests revealed that the extended range versions of the truck \u2014 the Pro ER, XLT ER, Lariat ER, and Platinum editions \u2014 were able to get around 20 more miles than Ford\u2019s original estimates. <\/p>\n

\u201c<\/em>We are laser focused on continually improving our energy consumption efficiency for Lightning and the team is really happy to deliver these results for our customers,\u201d<\/em> said Linda Zhang, chief program engineer, F-150 Lightning, in a statement. <\/p>\n
