With a towing capacity of up to 10,000 pounds and a payload rating exceeding 2,000 pounds, the Lightning proves that going electric does not equate to a sacrifice in performance. Its Pro Power Onboard system offers up to 9.6 kW of electricity, transforming the truck into a mobile generator, ideal for powering tools, appliances, or even your home during an outage.
