Ford recently trademarked the Maverick Lightning and Ranger Lightning names in Europe, setting the industry abuzz with rumors. Will there be a 2024 Ford Maverick Lightning? A compact truck EV would certainly be a major game-changer! Our preview guide gives you an idea of what you might expect from a battery-powered Maverick.
Is there a 2024 Ford Maverick EV?
Not just yet! Since Ford has trademarked the name, though, we fully expect the automaker to begin production on an all-electric version of its compact truck sooner or later. While we’re not yet sure if Ford will be able to produce a Maverick Lightning for the 2024 model year, here’s to hoping!
What’s the 2024 Ford Maverick Lightning battery range?
What will drive the Maverick Lightning? Besides the fact that an EV truck will perform using battery power alone, we’re not quite sure what to expect. The F-150 Lightning offers two battery options, standard and extended, with the latter providing a 320-mile battery range. However, we don’t yet know if the smaller Maverick will be able to share components with its bigger EV cousin.
Which features will be available for the 2024 Ford Maverick Lightning?
Great question! But we can only speculate as to how the Ford will set up the Maverick Lightning’s trim levels. If this compact EV pickup truck is like the bigger F-150 Lightning, however, it will be available as several trim levels. Each will build on the last with more features and a larger price tag. This setup would appeal to a wide range of drivers, because it allows drivers with a variety of budgets to choose the level of luxury they wish to purchase.
The smaller Maverick Lightning probably won’t be quite as luxurious as the F-150 Lightning, but we’re sure it will offer the usual range of features, from heated seats to leather upholstery. You can also bet that this future EV truck will be brimming with the latest technology, with a lineup that (hopefully) includes its hands-free driving system, BlueCruise.
When can I order a 2024 Ford Maverick Lightning?
If Ford does indeed release a Maverick Lightning for the 2024 model year, you likely won’t be able to order one until fall of 2023. However, you should keep in mind that we don’t know for sure when Ford will decide to release a Maverick Lightning. When we know more, we’ll update this page with the proper details!
