Ford F-150 Lightning driving in dirt

You’re probably wondering how powerful a full-size electric pickup really can be. The 2024 Ford F-150 Lightning proves it’s every bit as strong as its gas-powered siblings. Thanks to its advanced dual-motor setup, it delivers more torque and horsepower than previous models, while maintaining the rugged good looks and durability that have made the F-150 name legendary.

Can the Ford F-150 Lightning Really Tow 10,000 lbs?

Yes! This electric truck isn’t just for show — it’s built for serious work. When equipped with the available extended-range battery, the 2024 Ford F-150 Lightning achieves a maximum towing capacity of 10,000 lbs. Even models with the standard battery can tow up to 7,700 lbs, making it perfect for hauling campers, boats, or heavy equipment.

Is the Ford F-150 Lightning as Tough as Gas Trucks?

Absolutely. With standard all-wheel drive on every model, combined with up to 775 lb-ft of torque, the Lightning tackles challenging jobs and off-road trails with ease. Its robust design and payload capacity (up to 2,000 lbs) mean you can load it up without hesitation — just like any other tough F-150.

Can an Electric F-150 Handle Heavy Loads Like This?

It sure can. Whether you’re carrying building materials or towing a trailer, the Lightning’s instant electric torque gives you smooth, powerful acceleration, even under load. And because electric motors deliver torque instantly, you’ll feel confident with heavy cargo in ways traditional engines can’t always match.

Will the F-150 Lightning’s Range Meet Your Needs?

Ford offers two battery options. The standard 98.0-kWh battery delivers up to 230 miles of range, while the extended 131.0-kWh battery stretches that to 320 miles. Whether you’re commuting, running errands, or taking weekend trips, the Lightning has the range to support your lifestyle. Plus, with home charging options and access to public DC fast-charging, staying powered up is simple.
