Notes and sources

  1. Fuel economy: EPA combined figure in MPGe — energy converted at 33.7 kWh per gallon, not fuel burned — for the configuration F-150 Lightning 4WD Extended Range (78 city, 63 highway). EPA data dated 2026-09-09, the latest modifiedOn date EPA records in vehicles.csv.↩
  2. CO₂: the measured tailpipe figure of an electric car is zero. What a grid emits to charge it is not a tailpipe figure and is not stated here.↩
  3. Range: EPA's rated range for the F-150 Lightning 4WD Extended Range configuration; the record carries 515 km, which is 320 miles.↩
  4. Fuel cost: not estimated. This site has no electricity price source yet, so no cost is computed for an electric car.↩
  5. Power: not published. EPA values disagree.↩
  6. Crash rating: NHTSA's overall rating for the 2023 F-150 — frontal 4, side 5, rollover 4 stars. NHTSA data as of 2026-09-10.↩
  7. Recall campaigns: NHTSA's count for this variant (F-150 (SUPER CREW) LIGHTNING BEV), as of 2026-09-10. Each is repaired free of charge by dealers.↩
  8. Complaints per 10,000 built: computed here from NHTSA's complaint count for the F-150 nameplate (136, of which 12 describe a crash, fire, injury or death) and the 41,702 vehicles NHTSA's own early-warning production reports place on it (2026 Q1). No publisher states the rate itself.↩
  9. Kerb weight: not published. EPA certification alone states a curb weight for this car, and another source's figure for this nameplate could not be attributed to this car.↩
  10. EPA test weight: not published. EPA values disagree.↩
  11. Warranty: 3 years or 36,000 miles, from Ford's published 2023 warranty statement, compiled into carstandings.com's warranty table.↩
  12. Registrations: 1,386 F-150s of this model year on New York's roads, from the NY DMV registration file as of 2026-09-02.↩
  13. This car is measured on the electric scale: MPGe and a measured tailpipe zero. Miles per gallon, charge-weighted CO₂ and engine-only horsepower do not apply to it.↩
  14. Price: no free, resellable source publishes a price for any 2023 car sold in the United States, so none is shown for any car in this market.↩
