The Ford F-150 Lightning electric pickup will be available with even more technology tools with the launch of the tech-forward Flash model.

Building on the XLT model line, the F-150 Lightning Flash adds in-demand tech capabilities such as an extended-range battery with a targeted EPA-estimated range of 320 miles, a standard 15.5-inch touchscreen for easy interaction, and available Ford BlueCruise hands-free highway driving. These are paired with an accessible price point and the F-150's proven ability to get people and gear where they need to go.

BlueCruise makes driving less stressful and more enjoyable by providing hands-free highway driving opportunities. The Lightning Flash will come with version 1.2, which features Lane Change Assist, allowing the driver to change lanes hands-free by tapping the turn signal once the path is clear. It also offers In-Lane Repositioning, which helps keep the vehicle in its own lane while subtly shifting away from vehicles in adjacent lanes.

Other features include a power tailgate, tailgate step with tailgate work surface, tow technology package, and more.

Orders for 2024 F-150 Lightning models will open early next year.
