When hauling cargo or hitting the open road, you want a durable truck with powerful performance. Whether you’re looking for the gas-powered or electric Ford F-150, visiting your Burlington Ford dealership means exploring all the model options of this Built Ford Tough truck.
Trim Options at Your Ford Dealership
In 2025, the Ford F-150 Lightning is available in four trim levels: XLT, Flash, LARIAT, and Platinum. The Platinum trim boasts more interior luxuries, extended battery range, and Ford’s Max Trailer tow package. The F-150 Lightning is Ford’s EV truck, while the F-150 is a gas-powered truck that’s also available as a hybrid.
The Ford F-150 gas-powered trucks are available in eight different trim levels, including the powerful Raptor model that can be upgraded with a 5.2L supercharged V8 engine. The eight trim options are:
- XL
- STX
- XLT

The Lightning is an electric truck with a permanent magnet synchronous motor.

The engine of the Ford F-150 delivers a maximum conventional towing of 13,500 pounds and a maximum payload of 2,445 pounds for the base trim. The electric Lightning’s base model tows less at 10,000 pounds with a maximum payload of 2,000 pounds.
