6 Reasons to Test Drive the 2024 Ford F-150 Lightning

All-Terrain Performance

The 2024 F-150 Lightning is designed with adventurers in mind and comes in standard all-wheel drive for seamless off-road performance. Selectable drive modes include a convenient off-road option for easy handling on challenging terrains, while 8.4 inches of ground clearance can give you the confidence to tackle smooth and bumpy paths alike. Normal and Sport drive modes also come standard for enhanced performance on asphalt.

Gas-Like Capability

Whether you need speed, range, or towing capacity, the F-150 Lightning delivers gas-like capability. In its base configuration, the entry XLT trim comes with a standard-range battery that boasts 452 horsepower and 240 miles per charge. An extended-range battery is available optionally, boosting the range to 320 miles. This battery pack produces 580 horsepower and 775 lb-ft of torque for a maximum towing capacity of 17,100 lbs.

Eye-Catching Styling

The F-150 Lightning maintains the iconic styling elements that made the Ford F-150 truck famous but enhances them with fresh accents and details that hint at the model’s electric spirit. All trim levels boast a rugged appearance with signature headlamps and an aggressive front fascia inspired by its gas-powered sibling’s front grille. A selection of attractive colors and wheel options make it easy to customize the ride to your heart’s desire.

Versatile Interior Features 

Offered exclusively with a SuperCrew cab, the F-150 Lightning comes with ample seating for five in a cabin filled with exciting features. The front bucket seats and 60/40 split-up rear bench offer ergonomic support, keeping you and your crew comfortable no matter how short or long the journey. A standard 12-inch touchscreen brings access to entertainment, while Wi-Fi hotspot capability transforms the truck into a mobile office.

Hands-Free Driving

Long trips can be tedious, especially when driving for hours on end across a highway. This is where Ford’s BlueCruise system, offered standard on the Lightning, comes in handy with seamless hands-free driving on compatible roads. All trim levels come with a free trial so you can test it before subscribing. Onboard navigation also comes standard with a three-year trial.  

Advanced Safety

Ford equips all trim levels of this truck with the Co-Pilot360 suite of driver-assistive and safety technologies. From blind spot monitoring and collision-avoidance alerts to trailer tow coverage, parking sensors, and an available 360-degree surround view camera, a wealth of systems work together to keep you and the other traffic participants safe on the road.
