What is the maximum speed for the F150 Lightning?

Good find.

If he was at max power that full pull, you can see the torque start to drop off around 50mph and fall off a cliff at 60 and keep falling. I wonder if this is a 5 (or so) second limit like on the Mach-e GT or if that is the best it can do at highway speeds. But disappointing if that is the max above 60

Yeah, if this is the case, I hope reviewers talk about it and trash it. Ford needs to stop with the max power limit, it’s limiting the capabilities of their vehicles.

Pulling say 450 kw from a 130 kwh battery pack is stressful on the cells. To make the battery pack lifetime reasonable (10 years 150, 000 mile warranty in ZEV states) Ford has to limit huge power draws to a few seconds.
Read somewhere the Lightning top speed is 107 mph.

Along with your 107 number I seem to recall "hitting the wall" at 106 in my '21 F-150 PB a couple of months back. I'm betting the Lightning will be somewhere around that. Can't think of a reason to consistently go that fast on a routine basis but...whatever.

OEM tires T rated - 118 mph. So less than that.

The think lightning is exempt from the ZEV of 10 year 150.000 isn't it?

105-107mph the limiter kicked in

If its GVW exempts it from the CARB warranty, Ford's battery warranty is still 8/100.

Watched a video of a Lightning at the track last night. Vlogger stated and showed 110mph as the max while consistently hitting sub 13 second 1/4s.

That would be my best guess.

This article mentions a 106 mph speed limiter.

I've seen people die out at 107-110 on various youtube videos. That's on the speedo, though. In this video they're trapping in the 104s

Ours is 106 mph.

FWIW - My dealer said he did not know how fast the truck would go but he took the Platinum to 115 mph and decided that was as fast as he wanted to go.

I was able to hit 108 on an empty stretch of highway early one morning. Does the mode have an impact? I did not have it in sport mode, and I've since been curious if I could squeak a few more mph if I were.
