Discover the Powerful New Performance Upgrades in the 2025 Ford F-150 Lightning®
Electric trucks are rewriting the rules of power and capability, and the 2025 Ford F-150 Lightning® is leading the charge. With fresh updates across performance and capability, the automaker’s all-electric pickup is more ready than ever for work and weekend adventures. If you’re wondering what’s new under the hood or the floor, this latest Lightning brings severe heat.
Let’s take a closer look at the performance upgrades in the 2025 Ford F-150 Lightning® and why shoppers at Eric Von Schledorn Auto Group in Milwaukee, WI, are taking notice.
More Torque, More Thrill
Ford has fine-tuned the electric powertrain for 2025, and the results speak for themselves. The available Extended-Range Battery now produces up to 580 horsepower and a whopping 775 lb-ft of torque, letting the Lightning hit 0-60 mph in 3.8 seconds. That’s sports car-level speed from a full-size truck.
Whether merging onto the highway, towing a trailer, or climbing a dirt trail, the instant torque gives you the muscle exactly when needed. For daily driving or job site hauling, it’s hard to beat the punchy performance of this electric powerhouse.

Improved Range for Extended Adventures
Ford has squeezed out a bit more range this year, too. The Extended-Range Battery now offers an EPA-estimated range of up to 320 miles on a single charge. That’s a solid improvement, making road trips or worksite commutes more convenient with fewer charging stops.
With Pro Power Onboard, which doubles as a mobile generator, charging options remain flexible. This system lets you power tools, appliances, or even your home in emergency situations, with serious performance outside of just driving.
Built Ford Tough, Electrified
The 2025 F-150 Lightning® still rides on a high-strength, military-grade aluminum alloy body—the same as the gas-powered F-150. But with a low center of gravity and battery pack integrated into the frame, this truck stays planted on rough roads and sharp turns alike.
The independent rear suspension also contributes to the upgraded driving feel. It reduces bounce and sway, especially when carrying loads or towing. Speaking of towing, the Lightning still offers up to 10,000 pounds of towing capacity when properly equipped.

Smarter Towing with Tech on Your Side
New for 2025, Ford has upgraded its Pro Trailer Hitch Assist™ system. Using cameras and sensors, it can automatically steer, brake, and accelerate to line up your hitch with a trailer. That means less frustration and more time spent getting things done.
Drivers will also appreciate the Tow Technology Package, which includes features like Pro Trailer Backup Assist™ to help monitor weight distribution. This package makes heavy-duty tasks a little more approachable.
