DEARBORN, Mich., Nov. 9, 2021 – The F-150 Lightning™ is the truck of the future and now youcan bring the F-150

Lightning™ truck to life anywhere – right from the palm of your hand. In collaboration with Google, Ford is launching the “F-150 Lightning™: Strike Anywhere” visual experience for reservation holders, enthusiasts and vehicle shoppers who are excited to understand all of the benefits of an all-electric Built Ford Tough pickup.

As the electric revolution accelerates across the industry, Ford is taking a proactiveapproach to helping inform shoppers as they embark on the journey to purchase their first battery-electric vehicle. A recent survey of F-150 Lightning retail reservation holders indicates nearly 80% have never owned a battery-electric vehicle before, while more than half have never owned a Ford. Research from Google and Ipsos show 58% of U.S. car shoppers considering a new vehicle in the next six months are considering purchasing or leasing a hybrid or fully electric vehicle¹, and 83% spend up to three months researching before buying. The F-150 Lightning™: Strike Anywhere campaign will offer these knowledge- hungry customers an immersive, informative experience on the all-new F-150 Lightning.

“There is a tremendous amount of intrigue about what electric vehicles can do,” said Suzy Deering, chief marketing officer, Ford Motor Company. “At Ford, we want to show, not justtell since we believe educating customers on the full potential and capabilities of electric vehicles helps them make the transition from traditionally powered vehicles to all- electricones. Nearly 80% of our F-150 Lightning™ reservation holders have never owned an all-electric vehicle before, so we created this campaign for them to understand and feelconfident in their vehicle while also be excited to join in on the electric revolution with us.”
