Buy or Lease A New Ford F-150 Lightning in Burton OH
New Ford F-150 Lightning for Sale in Burton, OH
Preston Ford in Burton carries the all-electric F-150 Lightning for Geauga County buyers. Real truck capability, zero gas, and enough onboard power to keep your lights on when lake effect knocks out the grid.
Who loves the Lightning: Homeowners tired of losing power every winter storm | Contractors who want their truck to replace the generator | Commuters done with gas station stops | Anyone curious about electric but not willing to give up truck capability
An Electric Truck That Actually Works
Let's get this out of the way: the Lightning isn't a gimmick. It hauls. It tows. It works job sites in Chardon and farms in Middlefield just like any F-150. The difference? You plug it in at night and wake up with a full "tank" every morning. No gas stations. No fuel costs. And when the power goes out in January—because it will—your truck can run your house for days.
That last part matters in Geauga County. Lake effect doesn't care about your schedule. When it dumps three feet on Chardon and takes out the power lines, most people sit in the cold waiting for the electric company. Lightning owners flip a switch and keep the heat running, the fridge cold, and the lights on. That's not a sales pitch—it's why people around here are paying attention to this truck.
What the Lightning Actually Delivers
- Range: 240-320 miles depending on battery—plenty for daily driving around Geauga County with charging at home
- Towing: Up to 10,000 lbs—handles boats, trailers, and equipment for local hauling
- Pro Power Onboard: 9.6 kW of exportable power—run a full job site without a generator
- Home backup: With the right setup, your truck powers your house during outages
- AWD standard: Dual motors mean instant torque and traction in snow—no 2WD option to avoid
Cold weather does reduce range—that's true for every EV. But if you're driving 50 miles a day around Burton, Middlefield, and Chardon, you're charging at home every night anyway. The range hit doesn't matter when you start every morning at 100%. For long towing trips? This might not be your truck. For daily work and local hauling? It handles everything.
See If Electric Makes Sense for You
We're not going to push the Lightning on someone it doesn't fit. If you're towing to Pennsylvania every weekend, a gas or diesel F-150 is probably smarter. But if you're running around Geauga County, charging at home, and sick of paying for gas? Come talk to us. We'll answer the questions you actually have—range in winter, charging options, what it costs to run—without the hype.

F-150 Lightning Questions from Geauga County Buyers
Where can I buy an F-150 Lightning in Geauga County?
Preston Ford in Burton. We carry the Lightning and can answer your questions about range, charging, and whether it fits how you use a truck. Serving Chardon, Middlefield, Newbury, and all of Geauga County.
How far can the Lightning drive in cold weather?
Expect 15-20% less range in deep winter. Extended-range models start at 320 miles, so you're still looking at 250+ miles in January. For daily driving around Geauga County with home charging, cold weather isn't a dealbreaker.
Can the Lightning really power my house?
Yes—with Ford Intelligent Backup Power and a home integration system. When the grid goes down, your truck takes over. In Geauga County where lake effect kills power every winter, that's a real benefit.
How much can the Lightning tow?
Up to 10,000 lbs with the right setup. Towing does eat range, so it's ideal for local hauling—boat to Punderson, equipment around Middlefield—not long highway pulls. For serious towing, look at the gas F-150 or Super Duty.
Where do I charge an F-150 Lightning?
Most owners charge at home overnight with a 240V outlet or wall charger. DC fast chargers along I-90 and in the Cleveland area handle longer trips. For daily Geauga County driving, home charging is all you need.
Does Preston Ford service electric trucks?
Yes. Our service department handles Lightning maintenance and repairs. EVs need less routine work than gas trucks—no oil changes, fewer brake jobs—but when something needs attention, we take care of it.
