Yep. I got 3.7. Ignore the 1/4 mile time, it was only an 1/8 mile track.

Question? Is this with your 2022 Extended Range? Was this with an update with (OTA) ?? How did you manage to break the 4.5 second time???

Considering the extended range is now a massive $21500(!) upgrade cost and no longer qualifies for the EV Tax Credit (So make that a $29000 upgrade effectively) I would be more interested in the performance of the standard range model. The 0-60 appears to be missing from the internet.

Yeah I wonder as well, upgraded motors?! - TFL drag races the SR and ER and to everyone’s surprise the SR won - less weight prolly helped the truck quite a bit.

The motors are the same, but HP is increased 580 for ER vs 452 for SR, so I cant understand how the SR is quicker. Lighter for sure but that shouldnt make up for the HP difference. Maybe its due to lack of traction, IDK.

Yep. Lariat ER.

in my Platinum, the first time I floored it with my girlfriend as a passenger, it annoyed and discomforted her so much, she said "warn me next time!"

the second time, I warned her, and yet after she still said "don't ever do that again"

I took a friend in the truck for the first time last week, and floored it, and he said "do you get a free chiropractor with the truck?"

so... yeah, it's fast off the line🤣

also, just to be completely clear, this is just updating the official posted number - there's no actual vehicle change involved:

This is just confirming official numbers on existing vehicles. We had targeted mid-4 seconds.

The updated official 0-60 time for standard range Lightning’s is now 4.1 seconds. This would seem to vary among trim levels due to weight differences. The Pro SSV - police interceptor is rated at 4 seconds 0-60.

Yes, they have not updated those numbers on the Ford website yet.
