Test drive: 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning
The 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning is Ford's first electric truck and has features not found on any other F-Series model. Fox News Autos Editor Gary Gastelu takes it for a spin.
Ford is being mysterious.
The automaker posted a cryptic tweet on Monday teasing a big announcement coming sometime on Tuesday.
The tweet says, "Some of our favorite emoji lately:" and is followed by a black circle, a chess pawn, a black square, a golf course cup, a playing card spade, sunglasses and a black X.
A follow-up post includes only the date 6.1.22.

Ford simultaneously posted a video to its Instagram Stories that depicts the date over a flowing black sheet.

Ford hadn't previously announced any major events scheduled for the day, so it is unknown what it has in store.

One possibility is that it will debut the upcoming high performance F-150 Raptor R pickup, which is scheduled to go on sale this year, but anything is possible.
