The 2024 F-150 Lightning PRO fleet order banks are officially open. Ford PRO opens up orders for the next iteration of the F-150 Lightning PRO on the heels of the 2023 Lightning PRO being recognized as the 2023 Commercial Green Car of the Year by Green Car Journal. The award is considered the automotive field’s highest environmental recognition.
Understanding of all the customer needs and demands of the F-150 Lightning, Ford PRO offers several features to manage range, including Pre-Conditioning and Intelligent Range.
A new feature on the 2024 Lightning PRO trims is Ford’s Vapor Injection Heat Pump (VIHP), which is designed to turbocharge the refrigerant system to help improve heat transfer capability and reduce power consumption. Ford’s patented heat pump system utilizes vapor injection in both heating and cooling modes to help optimize system performance in various ambient temperatures, which helps deliver an EPA-estimated range of 240 miles on a standard battery.
Another new addition for the F-150 Lightning is that it has a new onboard charging configuration. Extended-range Lightning with a single onboard charger now comes with a 11.5kW onboard charger standard. A fleet-only option is available to increase onboard charger capacity to 19.2kW, which is recommended for Ford Pro customers who require faster charging capability.
Ford is also introducing the F-150 Lightning Flash, a tech-forward version of the F-150 Lightning that packages customers’ favorite features for less than $70,000. The F-150 Lightning Flash expands on the XLT model line by including an extended-range battery with a targeted EPA-estimated range of 320 miles. Online orders for the F-150 Lightning Flash will open in early 2024.
Both new offerings—in addition to Ford Pro’s telematics software, charging solutions, and fleet financing solutions—are helping fleet managers transition fleets to EVs, accelerate productivity, and reduce total cost of ownership. Scheduled maintenance costs for the F-150 Lightning are estimated to be more than 40% ($813.40) less than the average scheduled maintenance costs for gas-powered F-150 ($1,499).
