2027 Ford F-150 Lightning EREV
The upcoming 2027 Ford F-150 Lightning EREV offers a new take on electric performance, adding a gas-powered engine to recharge the truck’s EV battery on the fly. Where the first generation stumbled, the second generation of Lightning trucks aims to “tow like a locomotive.”
Key Takeaways
- When Ford decided to discontinue the all-electric F-150 Lighting EV and go back to the drawing board, the F-150 Lightning EREV was born.
- The upcoming F-150 Lightning EREV will supplement its electric driving range with a gas-powered engine.
- Ford says this new EREV truck will travel more than 700 miles before it needs a recharge (or a refill).
- The F-150 Lightning EREV isn’t here just yet, and it’s been awhile since we’ve gotten any updates on this upcoming extended-range electric truck.
What's different about the 2027 F-150 Lightning EREV?
Basically everything. The 2027 Ford F-150 Lightning EREV will be a plug-in hybrid truck, adding a gas-powered engine that recharges its electric powertrain battery on the go. With the battery fully charged, it’ll run without a drop of gas. But a full tank of gas will come in handy when you’re towing heavy loads! Where the old, all-electric F-150 Lightning faltered with heavy loads in tow, this new truck will use its gas engine to extend your range.
So is the 2027 Ford F-150 Lightning EREV an electric or hybrid truck?
Technically, it's both. To move, the upcoming F-150 Lightning EREV depends on its electric powertrain, which you can plug into an outlet (or DC quick charger) to recharge. Its gas-powered engine is there to recharge the F-150 Lightning EREV’s electric powertrain on the go. Ford estimates that, together, a full battery and gas tank will deliver a driving range upwards of 700 miles.
Has Ford discontinued the F-150 Lighting?
Ford discontinued the all-electric F-150 Lightning after the 2025 model year, citing a desire to better meet drivers' needs. That’s where the F-150 Lightning EREV comes in. Because the upcoming extended-range electric vehicle will feature both an electric powertrain and a gas engine that charges that electric powertrain, drivers will be able to tow heavy loads without significantly reducing the truck’s driving range.
When will the 2027 Ford F-150 Lightning EREV arrive?
Not only does Ford have yet to announce a release date, but we haven’t heard any recent updates about the upcoming F-150 Lightning EREV. It’s possible that this truck might not even be out until the 2028 model year!
