Ford F-150® vs. Ford F-150 Lightning®
While the Ford F-150® and Ford F-150 Lighting® are both full-size trucks with plenty of towing, hauling, and off-roading capability, there's more than meets the eye under the hood. Iconic Ford F-150® trucks are among the best-selling vehicles in America, while new Ford F-150 Lighting® trucks are fresh and innovative thanks to all-electric power. No matter which truck best matches your needs on the job or around the house, you'll find plenty of features that boost productivity, comfort, and connectivity.
Performance
Ford F-150® Lightning models are anything but ordinary thanks to a standard-range battery setup with 452 horsepower and 775 pound-feet of torque or an available extended-range battery setup with 580 horsepower and 775 pound-feet of torque. Alternatively, traditional Ford F-150® trucks have outstanding naturally-aspirated and forced-induction gasoline motors, including the 3.5-liter PowerBoost™ Full Hybrid V6 with up to 430 horsepower and 570 pound-feet of torque or a roaring 5.2-liter Supercharged V8 that produces 700 horsepower and 640 pound-feet of torque.
Capability
When it comes to towing performance, both trucks provide ample capacity for campers, boats, and utility trailers, with the Ford F-150® providing up to 14,000 pounds of maximum towing capacity, while the Ford F-150 Lighting® features up to 10,000 pounds of maximum towing capacity. On the trail, the Ford F-150 Lightning® powers all four wheels and features an adequate 8.4 inches of ground clearance, while the standard Ford F-150® is available with four-wheel drive and up to 13.1 inches of ground clearance, as well as multiple trims suited toward off-roading.
Technology
Ford F-150® trucks sport a standard 8.0-inch SYNC® 4 touchscreen on XL and XLT models, or an available 12.0-inch SYNC® 4 with Enhanced Voice Recognition touchscreen infotainment system that's standard on Lariat and above trims. For drivers seeking cutting-edge technology, the Ford F-150 Lightning® is available with the SYNC® 4A system and a 15.5-inch touchscreen system that integrates radio, multimedia, and climate control features into one sleek design.
Utility
Traditional F-150® trucks are available in various cabin sizes and box lengths, providing plenty of combinations to suit trade workers, outdoor enthusiasts, and more. While Ford F-150 Lightning® trucks are only available in a single cabin and box combination, they feature a standard frunk with 14.1 cubic feet of waterproof, secure, and convenient storage that the F-150® lacks.
