Great news for audiophiles and future owners of the 2025 Ford F-150 Lightning! Ford has announced a fantastic upgrade to its all-electric pickup, making the immersive SiriusXM 360L technology a standard feature across the entire model lineup. This exciting addition ensures that every Lightning driver can enjoy a premium audio experience right from the entry-level XLT trim and the fleet-focused Pro model, all the way up to the luxurious Platinum. Best of all, this enhanced entertainment comes at no extra cost to the vehicle’s existing pricing structure.
SiriusXM 360L elevates the in-car audio experience by seamlessly integrating satellite and streaming features. This provides listeners with a rich, 360-degree sound stage within the cabin of their F-150 Lightning, offering a wider variety of content and enhanced personalization options. While a complimentary three-month trial of the service is included, a subscription is required to continue enjoying SiriusXM 360L after the trial period (note that the service is currently unavailable in Alaska and Hawaii). This standard inclusion across all trims underscores Ford’s commitment to providing a well-equipped and enjoyable driving environment for all Lightning owners.
Beyond the impressive audio upgrade, the 2025 F-150 Lightning also receives other noteworthy enhancements. A stylish new Dark Elements appearance package, available as a $1,000 USD option on the Platinum trim, adds distinctive 22-inch black-painted wheels, black Ford ovals and badging, and a sleek black interior. Furthermore, the Lightning benefits from the latest BlueCruise 1.4, promising a smoother and more natural hands-free highway driving experience. Charging enthusiasts will also appreciate an increase in the maximum DC fast charging current from 450 amps to 500 amps, potentially leading to quicker charging times.
Despite an initial production delay, the 2025 Ford F-150 Lightning is now rolling off the assembly line at the Rouge Electric Vehicle Center. Importantly, Ford has maintained the 2024 model year pricing for the 2025 Lightning, with the entry-level XLT trim starting at an accessible $62,995 USD (excluding destination freight charges). This combination of new standard features, enhanced technology, and stable pricing makes the 2025 Ford F-150 Lightning an even more compelling and value-packed choice in the electric pickup segment.
