The Ford F-150 is one of America's favorite trucks, renowned for its rugged capability, advanced technology, and comfortable interior. Ford introduced an all-electric version—the F-150 Lightning—building upon this winning formula. At their core, the Ford F-150 and F-150 Lightning can tackle your toughest jobs thanks to their sturdy, fully boxed steel frames, military-grade aluminum alloy bodies, and independent rear suspensions. They also come standard with a versatile crew cab configuration that comfortably seats up to five passengers.
Although they have similarities, there are also some key differences that distinguish the gas-powered Ford F-150 from its fully electric sibling.
Power and Performance
The Ford F-150 has impressive engine options with an available 4x4 system, from the efficient 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 to the brawny 5.0-liter V8—there's no shortage of power. When properly equipped, the Ford F-150 can tow up to 14,000 pounds, perfect for any task around Pleasanton, KS.
The Ford F-150 Lightning has potent electric motors that generate an incredible 580 horsepower and 775 pound-feet of near-torque, with the extended-range battery—enough muscle to tow up to 10,000 pounds and accelerate quicker than most sports cars. Its battery also acts as a mobile generator that can power your home during an outage or tools at the job sites near Adrian, MO. You can even recharge the battery from 15-80 percent in under 45 minutes at a DC fast charging station.
Interior Amenities
The spacious Ford F-150 and Ford F-150 Lightning cabs offer no shortage of comfort and cutting-edge tech amenities. Both have a vibrant 12-inch digital instrument cluster, leather-trimmed seating, and a powerful B&O sound system to keep you informed, comfortable, and entertained on trips through Garden City, MO, and beyond. The SYNC 4 infotainment system, with voice control and cloud connectivity, makes it simple to access your favorite apps, playlists, and vehicle functions.
The Ford F-150 Lightning has a massive 15.5-inch portrait touchscreen on Lariat and Platinum trims, providing intuitive control over navigation, drive modes, and more. An enhanced Pro Power Onboard system lets you power a wider range of electronics and appliances right from the cab or truck bed. The Ford F-150 Lightning also doubles as a mobile workstation or campsite, with up to 11 outlets and 9.6kW of cumulative power.
Exterior Style
The Ford F-150 and F-150 Lightning trucks have a bold, head-turning, unmistakably Ford style. The gas-powered Ford F-150 features muscular lines, chrome accents, and signature LED headlights that convey a sense of unstoppable capability. Customize further, selecting from a range of wheel designs, from 17-inch silver-painted aluminum to 22-inch two-tone machined aluminum.
Retaining the iconic profile of the Ford F-150, the F-150 Lightning also integrates distinctive elements. A sleek LED lightbar spans the width of the front grille, creating a striking visual signature. Aerodynamic 18 or 20-inch wheels help the Ford F-150 Lightning slice through the air more efficiently.
