Electric Power and Range
So much of the 2025 Ford F-150 Lightning’s success comes from its electric powertrain. Long gone are the days when an electric engine means making sacrifices. Instead, the Lightning’s powertrain provides you with excellent power and a long driving range so that constant recharging won’t ever be a concern.
Every trim of the F-150 Lightning comes with two electric motors and all-wheel drive, the latter of which promises you superior traction, making this truck especially alluring to those who take to the off-roads. The standard range battery provides you with 452 hp; don’t let the word standard confuse you, either, as this is already an enviable amount of verve. Horsepower is an integral part of a truck’s success as it allows the truck to take off quickly and gives it the ability to tow an ample amount. The extended range goes even further in the horsepower department, raising the rating to 580 hp. That level of horsepower will allow you to feel a real difference; for instance, at high speeds, you’ll still be enjoying a smooth ride. You won’t feel the drag you’re likely used to with an older gas-powered pickup, and you’ll be able to set the pace on the freeways.
The F-150 Lightning’s electric engine also gives you quite a boost when you want to take off from a standstill. The top trims of the Lightning can go from 0-to-60 mph in just 4 seconds, which is an astonishing accomplishment for a pickup truck. You will have no problem merging onto the interstate; long gone will be the days of getting caught on an entrance ramp while you wait for traffic to thin out.
Of course, whenever you own an electric vehicle, you want excellent range before having to charge. On this front, the Lightning delivers. The standard 98 kWh battery gives you a range of 240 miles, and the extended 131 kWh battery lengthens that to 320 miles. Even better, when you’re running low on power, the truck can recharge quickly: it can go from 15% to 80% in 44 minutes at a public DC fast-charging station. You can also make use of regenerative braking, which uses braking energy to recharge the battery on the go.
Laborers especially love the distance the truck can get on a single charge, and those with families love how quickly they can get the crew traveling again, thanks to swift recharging. It’s a truck with an electric advantage for everyone.
Capability
The electric powertrain and high horsepower isn’t just good news for speed and quality of ride. It also allows drivers to tow a lot with a sense of confidence and to carry a heavy payload in the truck bed.
The standard range battery allows you to tow 7,700 pounds, but the extended range battery hikes that up to 10,000 pounds. Numbers like that can sound a little abstract, so as a point of comparison, the extended range battery can tow one and a half times the weight of the Lightning itself. Even for heavy laborers, this is going to be plenty. A landscaper who wants to bring equipment out for the day? That’s easy with this towing capacity. Non-laborers also succeed at their tasks with this towing limit. Families will have no trouble bringing a camper or a small boat out for recreation.
The truck bed is also a worker’s or adventurer’s friend. You can store up to 2,000 pounds in the truck’s bed. But there’s more. The fact that this is an electric vehicle means it offers a front trunk (a frunk), which makes room for 400 pounds of storage. Since there’s no gas engine in the front, Ford has taken advantage of this and offered drivers another place they can use for cargo storage. As an added benefit, what you store in there will be out of sight if you park somewhere. This is ideal if you have valuable cargo you don’t want others to easily spot.
Thanks to the electric engine, your truck bed can also keep all your tools powered with Pro Power Onboard. This works well if you’re laboring at a remote work site, but it also works well if your house loses power and you want to keep some electronics charged and ready to go. In fact, the truck itself can help power your house if you need it to during an emergency.
Interior and Technology
With all that capability, you still want to know your trips will be comfortable for you and your passengers. What is the use of being able to tow a lot if you don’t enjoy any of the time you spend in your truck?
Thankfully, the Lightning’s interior has a lot to offer, with seating for five. You can opt for Premium Nirvana leather surfacing that will immediately catch the eye of anyone who steps into your truck. On the flip side, if you suspect you’ll be trekking in a lot of mud or water, you can go for the durable stain-resistant ActiveX synthetic material. For anyone who wants to further impress their passengers, there’s an available twin panel moonroof.
The Lightning comes with superior technology, too. There is a standard 12-inch touchscreen that can be upgraded to a 15.5-inch one on higher trims. You can connect your device to it via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. You’ll be able to enjoy your music thanks to an impressive sound system, and if you really take your tunes seriously, you can go for the B&O Unleashed Sound System that comes with 14 speakers and a subwoofer. You and your passengers will feel like you’re at a rock concert.
The Lightning pulls up with trailering tech that makes towing easy even for novices. It also arrives with Ford’s safety system that includes lane keeping guidance, forward collision alerts, blind spot assistance, and plenty more. In addition, you can take advantage of the truck’s BlueCruise adaptive cruise control system to reduce stress during a long drive.
