The 2025 Ford F-150 Lightning

The best place to begin the exploration of the F-150 Lightning is with its performance. The 2025 F-150 Lightning is powered by a dual eMotor setup, which delivers exceptional torque and the smoothest acceleration. All 2025 models feature all-wheel drive for safe, confident handling across every type of Texas terrain.

There are three batteries offered with the F-150 Lightning lineup. These include a 98kWh standard range battery, a 123 kWh extended range battery, and a 131 kWh extended range battery. On all models, the 123 kWh extended range battery offers an EPA estimated range of up to 300 miles.

The horsepower that drives the F-150 Lightning performance varies depending on trim and configuration. The F150 Lightning Pro offers 452 hp, as does the Lightning XLT. The F-150 Lightning Flash offers a 536 hp dual eMotor engine with a single transmission, while the Lightning Lariat and Platinum come in at 580 hp, with the dual eMotor engine with a single transmission.

What to expect for charging times? With direct current fast charging, the batteries can charge from 15% to 80% in 32-38 minutes. Charging times are slower using alternate current (AC) charging. With AC, the 98 kWh battery takes an average of ten hours to fully charge, the 123 kWh battery requires about 12 hours to fully charge, and the 131 kWh battery needs approximately 13 hours for a full charge.

Now, looking at the F-150 Lightning’s capabilities, it’s clear this truck is engineered to work just as hard as its gas-powered peers. The towing and payload capacities are impressive, making it an ultra-reliable truck for both hard work and hard play. Each trim offers a different maximum towing capacity.

• F-150 Lightning Pro: Maximum towing capacity of 10,000 lbs with the Max Trailer Tow package, and 7,700 lbs without the package and with the extended range battery.

• F-150 Lightning XLT: Maximum towing capacity of 7,700 lbs with the Max Trailer tow package, and 5,000 without.

• F-150 Lightning Flash: Maximum towing capacity of 10,000 lbs with the Max Trailer Tow Package, and 7,700 without.

• F-150 Lighting Lariat: Maximum towing capacity of 10,000 lbs with the Max Trailer Tow Package, and 7,700 without.

• F-150 Lighting Platinum: This trim includes the Max Trailer Tow Package standard and offers a maximum towing capability of 8,500 lbs.

Keep in mind that maximum towing capabilities should also consider passenger weight and cargo inside the truck.

Inside the 2025 F-150 Lightning is where the blend of comfort and functionality becomes obvious. The SuperCrew cab seats five and offers best-in-class legroom (43.9 in (F)/43.6 in (R). Headroom is equally impressive with 40.8 in (F) and 40.4 in (R).

The front bucket seats are heated for all-year comfort, including those mornings when the Texas air can be a little chilly. Rear bucket seating is spacious enough for three, with a 40/60 split for extra interior cargo room. Vinyl seating in Medium Dark Slate is standard on the F-150 Lightning Pro base model. With the Lightning XLT, interior seats are upgraded to cloth upholstery, while the Lightning Flash features Ford’s ActiveX trimmed seating.

Ford F-150 Lightning owners can upgrade their experience even more with add-on features like an in-vehicle safe, floor line, coin holder, first aid kit, and more.

In 2025, the F-150 Lightning retained the bold styling that the F-Series is known for, all while including EV enhancements. This includes the LED projector headlights and signature rear lighting, along with aero-optimized wheels in 18” - 22 “ sizing, depending on the model trim. Features like the Pro Power Onboard (standard) and retractable bed cover (extra) make it easy to customize your 2025 Lightning exterior to your needs.

While the Lightning’s exterior is rugged, the color options add a refined statement. In 2025, the F-150 Lightning is available in Rapid Red Metallic, Antimatter Blue Metallic, Space White Metallic, Agate Black Metallic, Carbonized Gray Metallic, Iconic Silver Metallic, and Oxford White.

Whether you’re parked at the job site or cruising through downtown Abilene, the Lightning’s exterior is the definition of functionality meeting refinement.

Ford’s commitment to innovation and safety is never-ending. This shines through with the F-150 Lightning's tech suite and safety features. Starting with the infotainment system, drivers will love the SYNC 4A system with a 12-inch or 15.5-inch touchscreen, plus wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The B&O audio system provides unparalleled sound with eight to fourteen speakers for incredible sound. There’s also 5G connectivity and FordPass app integration.

The Lightning also offers EV-specific tech features and safety features, like energy monitoring displays and one-pedal driving. Ford has also loaded up the F-150 Lighting with exceptional driver-assist and safety features. This includes the Ford Co-Pilot360 suite, offering pre-collision assist and automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitoring that includes trailer coverage, lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, and hands-free highway driving is available on select trims.

Whether your F-150 is a powerhouse for work, your trusted family vehicle, or your pride and joy for outdoor playtime, Ford has ensured safety and confidence for peace of mind.
