“The most awesome and fun to drive F150 ever made. Super quiet, comfortable, reliable and peppy.”
2024 Ford F-150 Lightning: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2024 Ford F-150 Lightning is the new Flash trim, which pairs the extended-range battery with the 15.5-inch touchscreen in a tech-focused model between XLT and Lariat. This is otherwise a light update rather than a redesign.
About the 2024 Ford F-150 Lightning
1st generation (2022-2025), third model year; no full redesign or mid-cycle exterior refresh.
Ford positions the F-150 Lightning as a real full-size F-150 pickup first, and an EV second. Its core appeal is familiar truck usefulness — towing, hauling, a roomy crew cab, and lots of storage — paired with instant electric torque, a quieter ride, and built-in exportable power. The biggest differentiators are the lockable Mega Power Frunk, onboard power outlets, and the fact that it behaves like a mainstream work-and-family truck rather than a niche lifestyle EV.
The lineup runs from the work-focused Pro, with a lockable front trunk and onboard power outlets, to the Platinum, with premium leather and a 14-speaker sound system. Flash is the technology-focused middle trim, combining dual-motor four-wheel drive, the extended-range battery, a 15.5-inch touchscreen, and adaptive cruise control with lane centering. Lariat emphasizes comfort with ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, and a twin-panel moonroof, while XLT adds useful everyday and towing equipment over Pro.
What changed, by category
Powertrain
A vapor-injection heat pump becomes standard across the lineup to improve efficiency in cold weather. The 2024 Lariat is listed only with the extended-range battery, while XLT is listed with the standard-range battery.
Safety
XLT and Lariat gain standard towing-assist equipment, including a 360-degree camera, trailer backup and hitch assistance, trailer reverse guidance, Smart Hitch, and On-Board Scales. Parking assistance also changes from optional to standard on both trims.
Tech
The new Flash trim joins the lineup with an extended-range battery, 15.5-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, an eight-speaker B&O sound system, and a wireless charging pad. All trims gain clearer charging-speed and estimated-finish-time information, and Pro Power Onboard can supply electricity while the truck is switched off. Lariat leather seating changes from standard to optional.
