old onto your steering wheels, Australia! The land down under just got a jolt of electric excitement as Ford's much-anticipated F-150 Lightning has been spotted making a surprise appearance on Australian testing roads.
Social media has been buzzing with pictures capturing theF-150 Lightning at a public charging station in Victoria, leaving enthusiasts electrified with curiosity. It seems Ford's Australian Product Development team has been secretly working on a variety of global vehicle programs, including some exclusive left-hand drive models destined for overseas markets.
A Ford Australia spokesperson spilled the electric beans,confirming that the F-150 Lightning spotted in the streets of Melbourne isn't amere optical illusion. Instead, it's right here for a dose of Aussieengineering evaluation. However, before you start dreaming of Lightningilluminating Australian roads, here's the kicker: it's not a sign of theLightning storming into the Australian market.
"Lightning remains left-hand drive only, andunavailable for sale in Australia," the spokesperson declared, dashinghopes of an imminent electrified revolution on Aussie turf. While the sightinghas certainly sparked interest, Ford is keeping Lightning exclusive toleft-hand drive regions.
At the recent F-150 line up launch, Ford Australia BossAndrew Birkic hinted at an electric future but clarified that their primaryfocus remains on successfully launching petrol models. So, while the F-150Lightning is making waves during its down-under cameo, Australians may need toexercise some patience before the electric storm truly hits.
