How Much Is the 2025 Ford F-150 Lightning?

After a tumultuous 2024 that saw prices fluctuate wildly before trucks arrived at dealerships, prices for Ford’s F-150 Lightning have stabilized for 2025. Pricing for the 2025 model increases just $100 from 2024 for each trim level, starting with the XLT at $65,190 (all prices include a $2,195 destination charge, where the $100 cost increase occurs).

What’s New for the 2025 F-150 Lightning?

The 2025 F-150 Lightning is likewise little changed. Ford tweaked the electric pickup truck’s charging system to accept up to 500 amps of DC fast charging, an improvement of 450 amps over the 2024 model that the company noncommittally says “can result in improved charging time in certain situations.”

Updates to the charge management software now allow drivers to view real-time charging information including current charging speed on the in-vehicle display, set a universal charge limit instead of having to individually set limits for each location, and schedule preferred charging times for different plugs (to better take advantage of lower electricity pricing during off-peak hours). And with the latest version of Apple Maps EV Routing, Ford EV drivers can now incorporate Tesla Superchargers into their planning for longer trips.

Ford is also offering a new Dark Elements appearance package for the top-tier Platinum trim level. As its name implies, the package bundles black 22-inch wheels, badging and upholstery.

What Are the 2025 Ford F-150 Lightning’s Trim Levels?

It may be an electric vehicle, but the F-150 Lightning is also a pickup truck, and Ford expects buyers to use it as such, incorporating numerous technologies to help drivers hook up and tow trailers as standard equipment. Onboard scales with Smart Hitch use sensors in the rear suspension to estimate trailer weight, while Pro Trailer Hitch Assist, Pro Trailer Backup Assist and Trailer Reverse Guidance help with the sometimes tricky tasks of coupling to a trailer and reversing with one attached. F-150 Lightning owners can also use the Pro Power Onboard 2.4-kilowatt system to power tools and other electrical appliances with eight 120-volt outlets divided between the truck’s cab, bed and frunk.

In addition, the entry-level F-150 Lightning XLT rides on black 18-inch wheels and features adaptive LED headlights, automatic high beams, and keyless entry and start. Its seats are cloth and only the driver’s is power adjustable, but both front chairs are heated. The cabin also boasts dual-zone automatic climate control, a 360-degree camera system, 12-inch digital instrument cluster and 12-inch touchscreen with navigation. Ford Co-Pilot360 2.0 is standard and includes forward collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, emergency steering assist, lane departure warning, lane departure steering assist, blind spot monitors with trailer coverage, rear cross-traffic alert and rear parking sensors.

The Flash trim level upgrades to 20-inch wheels, LED bed lighting and a power-operated tailgate with a built-in step. Inside, it gets synthetic leather upholstery, upgraded front seats with lumbar adjustment and power adjustment for the front passenger, a heated steering wheel, 15.5-inch touchscreen, eight-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system and wireless device charging. Trucks from the Flash on up upgrade to Co-Pilot360 Assist 2.0 and add a 90-day trial of Ford’s BlueCruise hands-free semi-autonomous highway driving. (One-year BlueCruise activation is available, as is a monthly subscription and a one-time purchase good for the life of the vehicle.)

Ford starts to jazz up the F-150 Lightning’s looks with the Lariat, which gets body-color mirrors and a dark-gray grille panel instead of the cheaper trims’ black pieces. It also sports a twin-panel moonroof, a power-sliding rear window and rain-sensing windshield wipers. The Lariat’s cab is upgraded with heated and ventilated front seats, heated outboard rear seats and ambient lighting.

At the top of the lineup, the Platinum polishes the Lariat’s luxury content, swathing the interior with real leather, trimming it with genuine oak wood trim and upgrading to a 14-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system. It also rides on 22-inch wheels and includes a standard Max Trailer Tow Package, which adds a locking rear axle and integrated trailer brake controller. The Platinum also gets a 9.6-kW Pro Power Onboard setup with 11 120-volt outlets and a 240-volt plug for powering heavy-duty electrical equipment such as welders.

What Are the 2025 F-150 Lightning’s Powertrain Specs and Range?

Every F-150 Lightning features two electric motors, one powering each axle, for four-wheel drive. The XLT is fitted with the 98-kilowatt-hour Standard Range battery, which is good for an EPA-estimated range of 240 miles, while the rest of the lineup gets a version of the Extended Range pack. The Lariat and Flash have a range of 320 miles, while the Platinum’s larger wheels contribute to a lower 300-mile range. Ford claims the packs can charge from 15% to 80% in a little over 40 minutes on a DC fast charger.

The XLT’s smaller battery also limits motor output, although its 452 horsepower and 775 pounds-feet of torque are still mighty impressive figures for a light-duty pickup. The Flash gets a smaller version of the extended range battery, with 123 kWh, for a total of 536 hp and the same 775 pounds-feet. With the 131-kWh extended range pack, the rest of the F-150 Lightning family generates 580 hp and the same amount of torque.
