F-150 Lightning Towing Frequently Asked Questions
Select from the following.
What is the towing range of the F-150 Lightning?
There are many factors that affect towing range, which is why we created Ford-exclusive technology like Intelligent Range to give you more accurate vehicle range calculations in real-time.
Intelligent Range takes those many factors into account, along with cloud-connected data from other F-150 Lightning owners, to calculate highly accurate range information, especially in areas you have never driven.
How much can the F-150 Lightning tow?
The standard-range F-150 Lightning has a maximum of 7,700 lbs tow capacity in the XLT model with the optional Max Tow Package. The extended-range F-150 Lightning Flash™ and Lariat® have a 10,000 lbs towing capacity with the optional Max Tow Package equipped.
The F-150 Lightning Platinum® has a standard towing capacity of 8,500 lbs.
Will towing significantly reduce battery range?
Electric trucks experience the same range degradation that we see when towing with gasoline-powered internal combustion engines. Factors that affect fuel economy and range include:
- Trailer weight
- Wind resistance
- Traffic speed
- Weather
- Route topography
- Driver habits
The main difference with electric trucks is how drivers adapt to understanding range information and recharging, using tools like Intelligent Range, versus using a traditional gas gauge.
