Should I Buy the 2025 Ford F-150 Lightning?
The Ford F-150 Lightning is a compelling choice for truck shoppers who want to unplug themselves from hefty fuel bills. Quick acceleration and a near-silent ride make the Lightning a calming place to spend time. There’s plenty of room no matter where you’re seated, and the giant front trunk has 14.1 cubic feet of storage space. Keep in mind, though, that heavy towing and hauling tasks will cause driving range to plummet, and the steep price of the Lightning could make many truck shoppers reconsider the idea of going fully electric.
