Ford Unveils the F-150 Lightning Platinum Black EditionFord Unveils the F-150 Lightning Platinum Black Edition

Today, Ford is introducing an exceptional addition to its lineup—the F-150 Lightning Platinum Black, a special edition vehicle designed to marry power, distinctive aesthetics, and premium matte black features.

Matte finishes have found their place in diverse domains, spanning homes, cosmetics, and now the automotive world. Complementing this trend is the timeless appeal of black. The F-150 Lightning Platinum Black beautifully merges these two elements, resulting in a vehicle that stands apart from conventional paint options.

This unique edition is characterized by a blend of matte black and Agate Black gloss accents that harmonize to create an unmistakable presence. Noteworthy features include striking 22-inch matte black wheels and lug nuts, a black Ford Oval badging, Power-Deployable Running Boards with Agate Black gloss accents, a sleek soft-shell black tonneau cover, and a distinctive smoked signature light bar that exudes sophistication.

One of the standout features is the reflective black-on-black Lightning badge, which appears to come alive when illuminated by flashing lights at night. The Agate Black gloss roof seamlessly merges with the glass, forming a cohesive and smooth surface that amplifies the impact of the non-reflective matte black exterior. Even the door handles are thoughtfully designed in Agate Black to minimize smudging in high-touch areas.

Beyond the exterior, the F-150 Lightning Platinum Black offers a range of additional touches that enhance its exclusivity. Roof graphics bearing the “Lightning” label above the passenger seating area reflect the truck’s bold identity. Luxurious black premium Nirvana leather seating surfaces bring comfort and elegance to the interior. To commemorate the exclusivity of this edition, an aluminum plate with limited edition numbering graces both the frunk and the driver door jamb.

Technology also takes center stage in the F-150 Lightning Platinum Black. The available Ford BlueCruise hands-free highway driving system, specifically version 1.2, introduces advanced features such as Lane Change Assist, enabling hands-free lane changes with a simple tap of the turn signal once the path is clear. In-Lane Repositioning subtly shifts the vehicle’s position within the lane, maintaining a safe distance from adjacent vehicles. The updated BlueCruise graphics displayed in the digital cluster provide clear visual cues during assisted lane changes and in-lane adjustments.

Enhanced towing capabilities define another aspect of the F-150 Lightning Platinum Black’s technology package. The truck’s intelligence extends to recognizing a connected trailer and automatically engaging the tow haul drive mode. Once the trailer is disconnected, the vehicle seamlessly reverts to the previous drive mode. Walk Away Locking offers a convenient way to secure the truck using a passive key or authorized phone through Phone As A Key technology.

“Any customer can have a car painted any color that he wants so long as it’s black.” These words spoken by Henry Ford have resonated through the decades, but times have changed, and so has Ford’s commitment to offering choices that reflect the evolving tastes of its customers.

Dave Pericak, director of Ford EV truck programs, underlines Ford’s legacy of offering limited-edition vehicles while introducing the F-150 Lightning Platinum Black. He describes it as a remarkable choice for those who seek to make a bold statement on the road. This new edition is poised to elevate the F-150 Lightning Platinum to new heights of style and stealth, catering to those who desire a truck that not only performs but also commands attention.

The F-150 Lightning Platinum Black Edition stands as a testament to Ford’s commitment to innovation, customization, and pushing the boundaries of design. Blending the technological prowess and power capabilities of the high-end Platinum trim with a striking matte black wrap, this monochromatic electric truck marks Ford’s first-ever production truck to sport a matte wrap. As Ford continues to redefine what’s possible in the automotive world, the F-150 Lightning Platinum Black Edition proudly leads the charge into a bold new era of style and performance.
