How different are the 2025 and 2026 Ford F-150 Lightning?
There are a few exciting updates for 2026 — starting with an all-new base trim model, the STX. It outclasses the outgoing XLT with flashier styling and a boosted driving range (an estimated 290 miles, up from 240 miles). The 2026 F-150 Lightning also makes the extended-range battery standard equipment, giving drivers the ability to travel further (and faster!) between charges.
Plus, all four trim models come with a one-year subscription to the Ford Connectivity Package. Your backseat passengers can use the unlimited Wi-Fi connection to play games or stream videos on up to 10 devices, making road trips all the more peaceful.
Finally, Lightning shoppers can choose from three new paint colors — Argon Blue, Marsh Gray, and Ruby Red. Depending on which trim model you select, six exterior colors carry over from 2025: Agate Black, Antimatter Blue, Carbonized Gray, Iconic Silver, Oxford White, and Star White.
