Now that we have seen the official F-150 Lightning, what features dues it have that you wish the Mach-E had?

[JoeDimwit]

How about a spare tire?

You can see it here:

These pictures are of an actual F-150 Lightning Platinum. If you look closely at the one of the rear wheel, you can kinda see the pink stripe on the spare tire through the gap at the back of the wheel well.

Ok, I have another one - ventilated multi-contour seats with massage ?

Frunk size. The frunk in the mach-e is not bad, but it feels like it could be quite a bit bigger.

 

[Jimrpa]

Oh, and a 22 speaker revel sound system. And the F-150 motors. And the European matrix headlamps.
oh, wait. I think I’m beginning to describe the Mark E here ?

I admit to some frunk envy. Not so much the volume as treating the frunk as first-class storage:

• Power raise and lower, with adjustable top-end height
• 6 ways to access the frunk:
  • using the key fob,
  • pressing the button under the frunk lid,
  • pushing the button inside the cab,
  • tapping the 15.5-inch touchscreen,
  • using the keypad on the door, or
  • through the FordPass app on your smartphone.
• Lack of silly divider
• Proper tie-downs and cargo net
• Power sockets

Lots of details and photos: https://www.motortrend.com/news/2022-ford-f-150-lightning-ev-frunk-trunk-details/

You can easily remove the frunk divider....

ground clearance & towing capability

 

[NoMoShocks]

Towing Capacity tops my list. The F150 Lightning starting price is awesome.

The Lightning started my craze to get an EV. Placed a reservation, late to the game but still..... Then I bought a MME. Pick it up later this week

My only concern about the Lightning is whether I can get a goose neck hitch installed. From some pics it looks like yes, others ????? We have a horse trailer we tow and a goose neck is a must for that trailer.

I’ll go first…

#1 those power numbers.
I’m not sure how negatively those motors would impact range, but I’m not sure I care.

#2 Intelligent Backup
My home isn’t particularly prone to power outages, but I also have 3 freezers full of meat and produce in my garage. It’d be nice to not need to connect, then start the generator in a blackout.

#3 80a charging.
I know, we don’t need it, and it’s going to generate bigger utility bills and more heat in the battery, but… ’Murica

#4 That driver information screen.
Damn it all to hell, the screen on the Lightning gives a metric fuqton more useful information than ours does. They had better give us those screens via OTA by the time that truck is on the road.

finally
#5 the size of the “trunk”.
That truck looks like a tailgating masterpiece. All that frunk space, at such a perfect height, amazing.


let’s hear it ladies and gentlemen, what do you want to see make it’s way to the Mach-E from the Lightning?

1) Heat pump
2) Cool/heated seats, front and rear

I don’t recall reading it has a heat pump! That’s pretty nice. I wish the Mach-E had it for the winter months here

1. easy connection to an external inverter for AC power export.
12vDC, or 48vDC connection.... capable of 3kw-7kw export pulled from the HV battery would be great.

2. factory option for rear hitch receiver pre-installed at factory, or even standard to double as a rear tow hook for flatbed winching in case of wrecker service

3. front tow hook for flatbed winching
