The Ford F-150 is a renowned full-size pickup, known for its dependability and diverse functionality that make it just as proficient on the city streets as on dirt roads. Now, enter the 2025 Ford F-150 Lightning. This electric pickup shares much of the same functionality of the gas F-150, while adding unique advantages only possible with the power of electricity.
Exploring the Functionality of the 2025 Ford F-150 Lightning
Two Batteries, Unlimited Power
All F-150 Lightning models are all-wheel drive and come standard with dual electric motors. The smaller 98.0-kWh battery pack drives energy to the motors to unleash the power of 452 horses and an impressive 775 lb-ft of torque. With the optional 131.0-kWh battery, the torque remains the same, while the horsepower is increased to 580 hp. The 320-mile driving range with the larger battery will get you far away from civilization before you need to even think about re-charging.
Electric Energy Uses
The Lightning’s electric energy can be used far beyond the powertrain. Ford engineered this pickup to be able to serve as a backup generator in the event of a major emergency. A fully charged truck can supply power to the average household for up to 3 days. You can also use the electricity to run your power tools, appliances, and much more.
Re-charging the battery can be done at home via 110-volt or 120-volt outlets for ultimate convenience. However, you can also use public DC fast-charging stations to gain 65% in only 44 minutes.
Plentiful Storage and Space
The Lightning’s intuitive and spacious interior offers ample storage space to fit all sorts of gear and tools among the two rows of seating. Flip up the rear seats and you’ll have access to lockable storage underneath. Large windows further enhance a sense of spaciousness and provide excellent exterior visibility. The front truck (‘frunk’) is a hidden treasure chest of additional cargo room, providing 14 cu.ft. of space to hold up to 400 pounds of gear, and including a drain.
Modern Tech a Standard
You would expect a truck this dependable and advanced to play home to the best of modern technology, and thankfully, Ford doesn’t disappoint. A 12-inch infotainment touchscreen with Ford’s Sync 4 software is standard, but Platinum and Lariat trims come with a 15.5-inch screen. Standard Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and in-dash navigation keep your favorite apps easily accessible and ensure constant connection with the world around you.
The Ford F-150 Lightning is a modern marvel of engineering, capable of holding a place in your life that goes far beyond the road. To get started on your electric journey, visit Mahwah Ford Sales & Service, Inc. in Mahwah, NJ.
