The 2025 Ford F-150 Lightning is an immensely practical and efficient electric truck. It shares similar functionality to its gas-powered sibling while also carving its own niche in the electric pickup segment. Let’s explore how the Lightning sets itself apart from the rest.

Revolutionizing Electric Power with the 2025 Ford F-150 Lightning

Efficiency at Its Best

Two battery options power the Lightning’s dual electric motors: a 98.0-kWh battery in the Pro and XLT trims, and an extended-range 131-kWh battery that comes standard in Flash, Lariat, and Platinum trims but is available to all. The smaller battery does not imply smaller power: it can generate 452 hp and a massive 775 lb-ft of torque. It’s also rated for an impressively high fuel economy of up to 76 MPGe in the city and 61 MPGe on the highway.

With the larger battery, horsepower gets raised to 550 ponies, while torque remains the same. Fuel efficiency is similar to the standard battery, however range sees a massive boost to 320 miles per charge versus the standard pack’s 230 miles. No matter your chosen model, the Lightning’s one-pedal driving capability further generates efficiency by recharging the battery as you drive using kinetic energy derived from braking.

Strong Towing Power

On models equipped with the standard-range battery, you can tow up to 7,700 pounds, while your payload capacity maxes at 2,000 pounds. This kind of weight is more than enough for most recreational or job site needs, however, for heavy hauling tasks, the extended-range Lightning reports for duty with a towing capacity of 10,000 pounds.

As with the gas-powered F-150, many intelligent features are available to assist with towing. Bundled together in a Tow Package, it includes a built-in scale for balancing trailer weight, an integrated trailer brake controller to control your trailer’s brakes from the cab, and trailer reversing guidance.

Tech-Forward Driving

Lariat and Platinum trims are home to a 15.5-inch infotainment touchscreen sporting high-resolution graphics, standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, integrated navigation, and a Wi-Fi hotspot. Clearly, Ford supports your ability to remain connected at all times. However, that isn’t the only purpose of the Lightning’s technology. Intelligent tech also supports your safety with a whole suite of driver-assistance safety technologies.

Features such as automatic emergency braking, rear parking sensors, and blind-spot warning come standard in all models, while higher trims add features such as adaptive cruise control and evasive steering assistance.

Stay connected, comfortable, and prepared with the Ford F-150 Lightning. This capable electric truck is the ideal pickup for all driving needs, whether that’s daily commuting, weekend camping trips, or your job site partner.
