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!
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.
