We have a limited number of reviews for the 2025 F-150 Lightning, so we've included reviews for other years of the F-150 Lightning since its last redesign.
Love it but disconnected frequently.

To be clear, we loved our 2014 FX2 5.0 V8. 390 HP and a strong rumble from the stage 1 exhaust is always exhilarating. Do I miss it? Not when 580 HP with no ICE delay to move me forward so effortlessly in 7,500 pounds of pickup truck! Followed by the application of all-wheel drive and its inherent safety, and you have a formula for success. We were accustomed to paying $250 per overnight trip with our V-8, but are elated to experience between $100-120 just charging our truck while enjoying the places we stop by frequently. That’s a heckuva savings. To address the elephant in the room, I can’t say if this is a problem with other all electric vehicles, or even the Mach-E, but there a dead spots in our City and even some other cities, where the infotainment system will act wonky. From disconnecting my phone from the truck, to switching phone priority from mine to my wife’s. One of the most frustrating was where it took my phone call from the Bluetooth system and put the call into my pocket. I could not reconnect until I posted, turned the truck off, and back on again. I suppose this is worth mentioning, the leather in the 2014 was as durable as can be, comfortable and never gave is any problems. Within 2 months of owning this truck, our huskies gouged out a portion of the seat by just being. So we’ve since installed a $150 seat cover, along with the protective nylon that was already in use. I do not regret buying this truck, I’ve loved it from the get-go. But I wish I knew my old 1989 home had a 100 amp box that would not support a home charging station, because it’ll now set us back at least $10,000 to have PG&E upgrade to a modern 150-200A box, along with the cost of the charging station, and an 11 month wait. Thank goodness Ford worked out a contract with Tesla so we can charge our truck at most (not all) Tesla charging stations. (Tesla still keeps a few stations per town exclusive to Tesla owners.) Lastly, and this one has become a big deal, your local dealership could be on the lower end of quality expectations. FoMoCo (Ford Motor Company) is great, but their dealers are KNOWN for low expectations. They are a by the numbers kind of dealership, and our local Ford dealer is no exception. The quality provided from their service department was bad with our 2014, and we are saddened to say it’s no better with our 2024 Lightning. For the 8 weeks we’ve owned it, we’ve had it in our possession for 6. They did eventually provide me a loaner for 1 of those 2 weeks, but the problem that stemmed from their detail team damaging our window on the purchase date, to their service team damaging the door during window install, to the detail shop fixing the door but damaging the Front and rear bumpers paint. I’m amazed that I hadn’t sued yet. Okay, I’m ranting. But those were all very important. The Lightning’s will only get better from here, get it for its utility (we hike, camp, haul lots of large totes of cosplay costumes and equipment) but don’t expect to tow heavy items. It meets our needs perfectly and the Mega Power Frunk has been extremely useful.

I run a local service business where I rarely drive more than 50 miles a day. I have power tools that I use at the job site and often had to run a noisy gas generator for power. I was able to ditch the generator and use the Pro Power on board that allows me to tap into the vehicles electric power to run my tools. I can run my equipment all day and use about 10 cents or electricity. We received a level 2 charger last year as part of the purchase of my wife's PHEV. that we never had reason to use. Had a 220V outlet installed in the garage and now use it to charge the Lightning. Have had it for well over a month and a half and have used about $35 worth of electricity to charge. No longer spending $250 a month for gas. Will save over $2500 per year on fuel. No longer spending about 8 hours a year pumping gas at a gas station. No engine to maintain. No transmission. No exhaust system to replace (someone stole my daughter's exhaust system, costing $3500 to replace). The Lightning rides like it's on a cloud. Handles curves better than a ICE F150 because of it's low center of gravity. Extremely energy efficient in around.town driving..Less efficient on the highway..I plan on installing a bed cover hearing that it can help with aerodynamics and highway range. Oh, and it has some get up and go. You hit the gas and you swear your driving a sports car. Very fast. The front trunk (frunk) which is storage vacated by the lack of an engine is where I store most all of my gear. Overall, very functional and efficient for my needs. I don't see me ever going back to a ICE truck again.

I came out of a 2020 Lariat (511A?). It was loaded up with pretty much every option except massage seats (not available in a 2020 Lariat). Unfortunately I could not afford the Lariat Lightning that so many people have reviewed here. I had to go for the XLT SR and only added the 9.6 pro power and tailgate step. I added black custom fit (model and year specific) leather seat covers that fit extremely well and give the look and feel of factory leather seats ($600). I just miss the cooled seats!!! I typically drive about 30 miles per day. So charging at home is only done every few days or so. Although, my son just started playing travel baseball so I charge to full each night before his games. That provides enough range for 1.5 hours out and back with a "little" leftover. That's driving WELL above the posted highway speed limits too. I'm not a conservative driver, range wise. I've had only one issue. It would not shift out of park. Shutting it off, opening the door and trying again corrected that. *I do have to say, to the guy who wrote a review for his Platinum Lightning. You had a Mach E and now a Lightning and nowhere to charge your Lightning? Besides that, if you can afford a $125K truck you can afford to go online and buy a $300-400 mobile charger from Amazon to use in the interim. Sorry to be so critical. That just seems odd. I realize every use case is different. But I think you could have found a way to make it work. The truck has its limitations. But anyone spending big money and waiting a long time to get their truck should have had the time to do your research and plan accordingly.
Looks like an F150, but so much more

Ford really made a masterpiece with this one. Be accepted as a f-150 owner while you are actually an EV owner. The proformance of this vehicle is outstanding. I'm out beating Hellcats light to light while driving a full size truck.. I'm still looking for something bad to say about this truck.
