Payload capacity on Lightning Lariat Extended Range : 1452 pounds (Updated: Now 1697 pounds in some configurations)

#MindBlown ?
Thanks for that. I thought they were solid black this whole time. Not sure how I feel.

Don't worry, I thought the same thing until I looked at the 360 view (though I do somewhat question it as the 360 view shows the B&O unleashed - speaker in the headliner). I personally like the two-tone interior.
If you look closely, even without the 360 view you can still make out a two-tone on the front seats.

That is good info and Thanks for sharing. I am also interested in how far I can haul that 1452lbs as compare to the published range of the Lightning Lariat ER. I am sure the Automotive bloggers will be testing all the capabilities of the Lightning soon

Two tone seats threw me off. All these trucks out right now are pre-production. So anything can change.

Lariat has two tone seats -- black with grey. They call the interior black, but this is what it is. I've seen it in person, it looks nice. Somewhat understated, but nice. Also shows the two-tone in the B&P configurator. The Platinum interior is black with very light grey, softer/ nicer leather and has the platinum badges and "tuxedo" stripe.

Curious if anyone has provided info regarding range under heavy load; say something like a 7000 lb boat trailer with 700 lb tongue weight and two adult passengers and a couple of kids. Would I make it to my lake home 200 miles away bringing the boat up for a long weekend of fun in the sun?

I would think, not a chance.

The pounds just keep dropping off. Talk about a weight loss program!

Folks were trash talking the Silverado EV with its 1200 pound target payload. I would bet that Chevy's final payload will be close to their target. If the 1452 pounds is correct that's an unimpressive 20% below the target.

1452 pounds of payload on a highly-optioned, half-ton truck is actually not that bad. Our Ram 1500 Limited Hemi has around 1385 pounds of payload which is far below the maximum configurable payload on lower trims.

I agree. But Ford's target was 1800, unless I am mistaken.

The weight of options add up fast. This is the payload on my '21 loaded up Lariat.

Ford meets the targets when the truck is properly configured: 1800 for the ER battery and 2000 for the SR battery. You'd probably need to stick with the Pro trim to get that capacity, though.

You won't find a Hummer EV or Silverado EV with that much payload in any configuration.

My truck has just under 1200 pounds payload and I have not exceeded it to my knowledge and probably most folks won't need that much payload. I am mostly just reacting to an expectation of 1800 -2000 pounds created by Ford.

Payload is even a problem in 3/4 trucks, for those that really look at the door stickers. Most of the well optioned ones are barely over 2000lbs payload. My ram 2500 4x4 crew cab is around 21-2200.

 

[Easycamper]

Those heavy options add up fast:

Sunroof 64 lbs
Bedliner 45 lbs
Tailgate step 40 lbs
Power tailgate ?

The Lariat ER Payload on Krista's SEMA Garage Livestream showed the exact same 1452 pounds when they displayed the door plates.

Remember - For a fair comparison to an ICE truck maximum payload you need to factor in the hundreds of pounds of gas that a full ICE 36 gallon tank may carry. My battery will weigh basically the same all the time.
