To tow, haul, and explore without gas bills, your local Ford dealership offers the 2025 Ford F-150 Lightning. This groundbreaking pickup truck's key traits include its all-electric powertrain, bidirectional charging capabilities, SYNC 4A infotainment system, and semi-autonomous driving technology. Capable Electric Powertrain The heart of the F-150 Lightning is a capable all-electric powertrain. The standard setup incorporates two electric motors and a 98-kWh battery, generating 452 horsepower and 775 lb-ft of torque. Choosing a model equipped with the 131-kWh Extended Range battery, such as the Flash or Lariat, increases the output to a robust 580 horsepower and 775 lb-ft of torque. With nearly all of its torque available from the get-go, the electric powertrain launches the truck to 60 mph in just 3.8 seconds. It also enables the F-150 Lightning to tow up to 10,000 lbs with the right equipment. Excellent Driving Range Another key trait of the F-150 Lightning is its practical driving range. The base model covers up to 240 miles with the 98 kWh battery fully charged. Meanwhile, models equipped with the 131-kWh Extended Range battery offer a driving range of 320 miles, making them ideal for interstate travel. Bidirectional Charging The F-150 Lightning can be charged at any location in the BlueOval Charge Network. The pickup truck is equipped with two ports, with one for AC charging and the other for DC charging. You can also plug in the pickup truck at home using a wired-in Ford Charge Station Pro. When connected to a home charger, the F-150 Lightning's bidirectional charging capabilities enable it to send power back to your home in the event of a grid failure. The pickup truck can power your appliances for up to three days before the battery bottoms out. SYNC 4A Infotainment System For entertainment and navigation assistance, the pickup truck offers a large 15.5-inch center touchscreen with SYNC 4A technology. Some of its functions include integrated navigation, natural voice recognition, SiriusXM with 360L, and over-the-air updates. The system also features wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, enabling occupants to connect their smartphones and stream content. BlueCruise Hands-Free Driving Tech The F-150 Lightning offers available BlueCruise, which lets drivers go hands-free on compatible highways. When activated, the system manages the pickup truck's acceleration, braking, and steering and only requires drivers to monitor the road ahead. The hands-free driving technology uses sensors and radar to monitor the vehicle's surroundings and keep it centered in the lane. Want a closer look?
