Ford's F-150 is famed for its robust performance and versatility. Now, the iconic full-size truck has combined these great qualities with an all-electric powertrain that provides plenty of muscle while being friendlier to the environment. This is your introduction to the 2024 Ford F-150 Lightning! more Leading the Charge: The 2024 Ford F-150 Lightning Powerful, Yet Efficient Drivetrain Every 2025 Ford F-150 Lightning variant is motivated by a pair of electric motors powering all four wheels. Equipped with the Standard Range battery, the motors produce a hefty total of 452 horsepower and 775 lb-ft of torque. The optional Extended Range battery offers the same amount of torque, but boosts horsepower to 580. Models coming with this battery are especially quick, sprinting from 0 to 60 in just 3.8 seconds. Incredible Range and Convenient Charging While the Standard Range battery allows for a range of 240 miles, Extended Range batteries provide a range of up to 320 miles. Owners will be able to charge the battery using a 120- or 240-volt outlet at home, with the latter being able to add up to 13 miles of range per hour. Charging at a DC fast-charging station is possible, and it can take the battery from 15% to 80% in 44 minutes. Capable Towing and Hauling In its most basic form, the F-150 Lightning can tow 5,000 pounds, which increases to 7,700 pounds when the Max Trailer Tow Package is selected. This package includes a trailer brake controller and improved cooling for the battery and motors. Payload capacity is just as impressive at up to 2,000 pounds. With a maximum towing capacity of 10,000 pounds, models equipped with the Extended Range battery are ideal for transporting extra-large trailers. Feature-Loaded Passenger Cabin Spacious and sporting a handsome, rugged design, the F-150 Lightning's interior largely resembles the traditionally powered F-150. The truck is exclusively offered as a crew cab, easily accommodating five people. Both front and rear passengers will be able to stretch out with close to 44 inches of legroom. It's easy to stay comfortable during long road trips thanks to standard dual-zone climate control, heated seats, and an 8-way power driver's seat. Advanced Technology A 12- or 15.5-inch infotainment touchscreen system is found at the center of the dashboard and features wireless smartphone integration, support for SiriusXM radio, and voice recognition. Drivers can enhance their awareness with an available 360-degree camera system that uses multiple cameras to create a top-down view of the vehicle. There's also Ford's BlueCruise technology, enabling hands-free driving on certain stretches of highway.

What does it take to build a supercar so powerful, it's barely even street-legal? Ask the team behind the 2025 Ford Mustang GTD, and they'd probably tell you that the formula is simple: take one of the most beloved muscle cars on the planet, infuse it with a sprinkling of DNA from the world's best fighter jet, and fill it out with features never before seen on a road-ready Mustang. Here's what the cutting edge of performance looks like. more Introducing the 2025 Ford Mustang GTD: Performance Elevated Staggering Power The core of the 2025 Mustang GTD is a 5.2-liter supercharged V8 motor that puts out a staggering 815 horsepower, making it the most powerful Mustang ever produced to be street-legal. The engine fed its oil by the first dry-sump oil system ever fitted to a road-going Mustang. That sump system helps ensure the engine is well-lubricated and properly cooled even when performing high-g maneuvers that would otherwise reduce oil flow. As for suspension handling, the Mustang GTD rides on a semi-active suspension that's uniquely designed to improve high-g cornering with enhanced lateral stiffness and improved kinematics. It's optimized to smooth out bumps and rumbles on the road and the racetrack alike. Weight distribution is also exquisitely managed in the Mustang GTD, with the engine slung low to lower the center of gravity and the weight distributed nearly 50/50 between the front and rear. Fighter-Jet Aerodynamics The same four forces that make it possible for an F-22 Raptor to fly circles around its enemies also make it possible for the Mustang GTD to hurtle around the brutal turns of the Nürburgring circuit in under 7 minutes. The motor provides plenty of thrust to hurtle forward. Advanced materials like titanium exhaust and a carbon fiber driveshaft help reduce weight. Vented front fenders don't just keep the Brembo forged-carbon front brakes cool, they also reduce drag, as does the industry-first capability to reduce the ride height by nearly 40mm on track days. As for lift, the C-pillar-mounted carbon fiber spoiler on the Mustang GTD provides lift to the rear end, which helps keep the front wheels planted firmly on the track. Combine those four forces in the proper ratios and the Mustang GTD practically flies around the track. Inside the Cockpit The cockpit of the Mustang GTD is built to put the information the pilot needs exactly where they want to see it. The 12.4" digital cluster is completely customizable and displays crucial information like current g-forces, the active air-to-fuel ratio, and critical temperatures and pressures. The 13.2-inch center touchscreen drives the infotainment system. Both displays are powered by the Unreal Engine, the same technology behind many high-end racing games.
