Production of the 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning began at the Rouge Electric Vehicle Center late last month following months of anticipation, a couple hundred thousand reservations, and an admission that Ford simply can’t produce enough copies of the EV pickup to satisfy demand at the moment. Regardless, a handful of lucky folks will take delivery of their 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning soon, as those trucks are currently on their way to customers, as CEO Jim Farley revealed via Twitter.
“Spring deliveries underway. A train of #F150Lightning’s loading up at the Rouge Electric Vehicle Center,” Farley wrote in his tweet, which shows a number of pickups being loaded up for transit. It also puts Ford on track to fulfill its promise that F-150 Lightning deliveries will, in fact, begin in the spring, just a week after spies spotted a large number of the EV pickups at the automaker’s Dearborn Development Center test track.
The 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning has gained both power and range over its original estimates, and has garnered universally positive reviews from the press after a recent test drive, as the EV pickup was called “the best F-150 ever”.
Thus far, around one in five F-150 Lightnings built have been the entry-level, commercial-focused Pro trim, which has proven popular with a number of companies and public entities.
