If you’re looking for a powerful truck with high tech flair, it’s time to get to know the 2024 Ford F-150 Lightning. Read on to learn more about this all-electric powerhouse.

Introducing the 2024 Ford F-150 Lightning: Electrifying Performance

The Impressive Standard Range Battery

The all-electric Ford truck offers a quiet and fast ride with dual electric motors that produce 452 horsepower. The standard range battery has a 98 kWh capacity. Features like driver selectable one pedal driving mode and regenerative braking optimize the F-150 Lightning’s impressive performance.

For everyday driving, the EPA estimates that Ford’s all-electric truck has a driving range of 240 miles when equipped with the standard range battery.

The Cutting-Edge Extended Range Battery

If you’re looking for a little more horsepower, a little more battery capacity, and an even higher driving range, you’ll want to consider the available extended range battery. This option gives the truck 580 horsepower. With this much punch, your F-150 Lightning can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 3.8 seconds.

The extended range battery also raises the battery capacity to 131 kWh. You’ll have an EPA-estimated driving range of 320 miles.

The Towing Capacity

An entry-level XLT with the standard range battery provides drivers with a 5,000 pound maximum towing capacity. This is enough power to handle towing the family boat on your next weekend adventure. With the standard battery and available Towing package, this capacity jumps up to 7,700 pounds.

The extended range battery starts off with a 7,700 pound maximum towing capacity. For the most towing power possible, add the Towing package to an F-150 Lightning with the available extended range battery. This gets you an incredible 10,000 pounds of maximum towing capacity for your next haul.

The Advanced Towing Technology

The F-150 Lightning’s advanced trailering technology sets it apart from other trucks on the market. Pro trailer hitch assist guides you through a seamless connection experience.

Similarly, trailer sway control automatically makes adjustments to stabilize your vehicle while towing.
