2025 Ford F-150 Lightning

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2025 F-150 Lightning.

Engine Electric

The 2025 Ford F‑150 Lightning Electric builds on the F‑150’s full‑size pickup platform while replacing the conventional powertrain with an all‑electric drivetrain. Its architecture retains the familiar body proportions and payload capacity of the series, but the electric system delivers instant torque and a simplified mechanical layout. In its first three years on the market the model has logged just six owner complaints, with service brakes identified as the most frequent issue, and three recalls have been issued to date. This modest complaint tally places the 2025 Lightning within a relatively strong reliability track record for the line, suggesting incremental improvements rather than systemic concerns for researchers tracking durability.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

Owner complaints about the 2025 Ford F-150 Lightning top in one area — the service brakes, 1 of 6 reports (17%), well ahead of the next concern. NHTSA has issued no recalls for this vehicle, so these are owner-reported concerns only. 2 of the reports describe a crash and 1 a fire — a small share of the total, but worth weighing against the service brakes 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.
