First Looks at the Ford F-150 Lightning Switchgear

Ladies and Gentlemen, brace for shock; the F-150 Lightning Switchgear by Ford Performance is here. The passionate off-road pickup is a dazzling electric beast rocking 37-inch tires for a wild ride on and off the beaten path! This showstopper is more than just a truck; it’s a celebration of the triumph of America’s favorite electric ride, born from a fantastic collaboration with RTR Vehicles. Taking cues from the legendary F-150 RTR Ultimate Fun-Haver project vehicle of 2016, Switchgear flaunts a one-of-a-kind exterior with carbon bodywork decked out in a snazzy Ford Performance 2024 livery.

Get ready for an adventure like never before because Switchgear is the life of the party in our Ford Performance Demonstrator lineup. Rubbing shoulders with the likes of SuperVan 4.0 and 4.2, the Mustang Mach-E 1400, Mustang CobraJet 1400, and the F-100 Eluminator, this program is our playground to show off the sheer fun and possibilities of electric vehicles. It’s where our ingenious engineers let loose their creativity to fast-track the future of electric rides.

Switchgear is not just a truck; it’s a daredevil on wheels, pushing the boundaries of electric truck awesomeness. The American automaker cranked up the off-road stability with a wider track beyond the F-150 Lightning, amped up ground clearance, and given it a suspension system that’s ready to conquer rough terrains. FOX 3-inch diameter internal bypass shock absorbers, funky front and rear bumpers – Switchgear has got it all to tackle any adventure head-on.

Under the hood, it’s a party of custom independent double-wishbone suspension at the front and multilink independent suspension at the rear. Coil-over shocks, stabilizer bar, custom control arms – it’s a suspension symphony! But that’s not all – this bad boy boasts carbon composite front fenders, bed sides, and a rear bumper cover, along with steel fabricated rock rails and a front skid plate. Limit straps keep it all in check, and those NITTO Ridge Grappler 37×12.5R18 tires? They’re like dance shoes for the Switchgear, providing unbeatable traction.

Catch the Switchgear strutting its stuff for the first time at the King of the Hammers off-road racing event, starting the party on January 25 (2024) in Johnson Valley, California. It’s not just a debut; it’s a thrill ride that flaunts the electric marvel’s prowess in off-road challenges and asphalt adventures. Get ready to join the fun – Switchgear style!
