Electric vehicles are here and Ford intends to be on the cutting-edge of the technology. It only makes sense that our manufacturing partner would lean into the EV revolution by introducing its more popular platform with an electric powertrain. The 2024 Ford F-150 Lightning uses a similar style of construction as the gas-powered model to provide owners with comparable capabilities. It is also equipped with many modern features that will put it well ahead of its coming competitors. Follow along with CSL Ford while we take a closer look at the 2024 Ford F-150 Lightning.

Loading items into the cargo bed is easier than ever with the 2024 Ford F-150 Lightning. A power tailgate is available that can be opened and closed using a button on the keyfob. It can also be used as a convenient workspace.
