​Ford To Reveal All-Electric F-150 On May 19

DEARBORN, MI — Ford Motor Co. is set to reveal its all-electric F-150 Lightning on May 19 at Ford World Headquarters in Dearborn, company officials announced Monday.

The unveiling will be livestreamed online at 9:30 p.m. on the Ford Facebook and YouTube channels.

“Every so often, a new vehicle comes along that disrupts the status quo and changes the game … Model T, Mustang, Prius, Model 3. Now comes the F-150 Lightning,” Ford President and CEO Jim Farley said. “America’s favorite vehicle for nearly half a century is going digital and fully electric. F-150 Lightning can power your home during an outage; it’s even quicker than the original F-150 Lightning performance truck; and it will constantly improve through over-the-air updates.

“The truck of the future will be built with quality and a commitment to sustainability by Ford-UAW workers at the Ford Rouge Complex -- the cathedral of American manufacturing and our most advanced plant," Farley said.

Production of the F-150 Lightning will begin next spring at the Ford Rouge Electric Vehicle Center.
