2023 Ford F-150 Range & Performance
A defining feature of the 2023 F-150 Lightning is its all-electric powertrain. Choose between a standard or extended-range battery to power the dual-motor system on the standard 4x4 drivetrain. Because it’s electric, the 775 pound feet of torque provided by both batteries — the most ever in an F-150 — is delivered nearly instantly, which makes the F-150 Lightning a thrilling truck to drive. With the extended-range battery, you have an estimated driving range of up to 320 miles and a maximum towing capacity of 10,000 pounds with the proper configuration.
Leverage the impressive battery power in the F-150 Lightning to power your home during a power outage using the Intelligent Backup Power features.
The Ford Charge Station Pro — which is included with the extended-range battery F-150 Lightning and available for standard-range models — restores a full battery charge to your truck in eight hours. While you’re on the go, the available mobile power cord, which requires a 240-volt connection, can restore a full charge in 20 hours. DC fast chargers in the BlueOval™ charging network are your fastest way to recharge your F-150 Lightning while you’re out and about. Plan your trip to take advantage of charging stations with the Power My Trip feature on your FordPass app. For more information, see our Ford EV charging page.
