Overview
- Ford has introduced a high-performance concept variant of its all-electric F-150 Lightning pickup, the F-150 Lightning Switchgear, which is designed for off-road racing.
- The F-150 Lightning Switchgear was created in collaboration with RTR Vehicles, a performance part and complete vehicle company created by driver and drifter Vaughn Gittin Jr.
- The Switchgear has a wider track width and a higher ride height than the standard F-150 Lightning, which improves off-road stability.
- The vehicle uses Fox's 3-inch diameter internal bypass shock absorbers in the suspension along with unique front and rear bumpers to improve approach and departure angles.
- The F-150 Lightning Switchgear will make its first public appearance at the King of the Hammers off-road racing event starting Jan. 25, in Johnson Valley, California.
