Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2024 F-150 Lightning.
The 2024 Ford F-150 Lightning Electric is Ford's battery-electric entry in the F-150 nameplate, powered by an electric powertrain, and its recorded reliability picture for this model year—26 owner complaints led by the "Unknown Or Other" category and four recalls—offers a single-year snapshot with a finite, trackable issue load, making the 2024 Lightning an early reference point in the model's reliability history rather than a settled long-term verdict.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
Owner complaints about the 2024 Ford F-150 Lightning lead in one area — the unknown or other, 6 of 26 reports (23%), well ahead of the next concern. NHTSA has issued no recalls for this vehicle, so these are owner-reported concerns only. 5 of the reports describe a crash and 1 a fire — a small share of the total, but worth weighing against the unknown or other pattern above. These are tallies of what owners actually reported to the federal government, not an editorial score — and higher-selling models naturally rack up more reports.
