We’re excited to tell you about all the impressive things this Ford F-150 Lightning can do. So, let’s get started!


What is the F-150 Lightning Capable of?

This completely electric pickup is more than just a truck. The electric F-150 is a home generator, a backup for your house’s power. It can power all of your tools and devices. It can even drive itself under some circumstances. Here are some of the things it can do:

  • Go 300 miles on one charge. The extended charge battery can take you up to an EPA-estimated 300 miles before charging again.
  • Charge just about everywhere. This electric pickup is connected to the largest network of public charging stations in North America. Or use the included 32-amp Ford Mobile Charger to charge from home.
  • Back up your home’s power. Set Ford Intelligent Backup to automatically kick in and power your home if the power goes out due to one of our trademark Montgomery storms.
  • Act as a generator. The electric F-150 can provide full home-power for up to three days or ten days when power is rationed.
  • Receive software updates over the air.
  • Drive itself via Bluecruise. This feature allows hands-free driving on prequalified sections of divided highways called Hands-free Blue Zones.
  • Sense your phone and unlock the doors when you are near. You won’t even have to take the phone out of your pocket.
  • Self-calculate the battery’s range. Your truck can take into account traffic on your route, the weather, payload, tow weight, and other factors to calculate your range before you leave.
