The Frunks When you remove the bulk of a conventional motor and transmission system from an automotive design, shouldn't the space you free up be put to good use? Both the 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E and the 2025 Ford F-150 Lightning feature a unique front trunk, or "frunk", that adds convenient storage and enhances the possibilities. The frunk on the Mustang Mach-E holds up to 4.7 cubic feet of goods and gear, and features a built-in drain to easily remove any water that accumulates inside. That makes it the perfect compartment to function as a cooler, accommodating ice, beverages, and goodies for the tailgate party. The frunk on the F-150 Lightning is positively cavernous, accommodating 14.1 cubic feet and up to 400 pounds of payload. 2. BlueCruise Why not let your favorite Ford take the wheel? Both the F-150 Lightning and the Mustang Mach-E can engage the available BlueCruise technology, which takes over acceleration and steering on over 130,000 miles of highway in the USA and Canada. That means drivers can go hands-free, reducing stress and increasing relaxation. The updated 1.5 edition of BlueCruise found on 2025 models includes an innovative new feature: automatic lane switching. This system pulls the vehicle into the slow lane to let faster traffic by, and executes smooth passing maneuvers to get around vehicles that aren't keeping up the pace. 3. Astonishing Power The F-150 Lightning and Mustang Mach-E are absolute powerhouse vehicles that are capable of jaw-dropping performance. The Mustang Mach-E can be configured with up to 480 horsepower and 700 lb-ft of torque, which is enough power to rocket from 0-60 in just 3.3 seconds. The F-150 Lightning takes those numbers even higher, putting drivers in command of up to 580 horsepower and 775 lb-ft of torque. The Lariat model can blast from 0-60 in just 3.8 seconds, only 0.1 second slower than a Mustang Dark Horse with a 5.0-liter engine. It can also tow up to 10,000 pounds when properly configured, and accommodate a full ton's worth of payload in the bed and frunk. 4. Home Backup Power If your home ever experiences a blackout, you'll be glad to have your F-150 Lightning in the driveway. The available Home Backup Power system uses your vehicle's battery to power your home, keeping lights on and the refrigerator cool for up to 3 days.
