2025 F-150 Lightning Lease Deals Now Available

Electric pickups aren’t just a novelty anymore, but the segment is clearly shifting. Ford’s F-150 Lightningcame in as the all-electric version of America’s best-selling truck, sticking to what buyers already know: same look, same size, same everyday uses, just running on electricity instead of gas.

But that run is almost over. Ford confirmed the F-150 Lightning is being discontinued, with the future Lightning nameplate moving toward extended-range EVs (EREVs) instead of a pure electric truck. Current Lightnings will still get support, but this is the last call for the model as we know it. That makes the current F-150 Lightning lease deals for January more interesting – they give buyers a shot at living with Ford’s all-electric truck without locking into long-term ownership as the lineup changes.

If you want to try out a full-size electric pickup before Ford switches gears, leasing a F-150 Lightning is the low-risk way in – especially with factory-backed offers now up on Ford’s site.

Ford’s Lease Deals for January

For January, Ford’s lease deals on the 2025 F-150 Lightning cover most trims, mainly with 48-month terms and a 10,500-mile yearly limit. The XLT is the outlier, available on a shorter 24-month lease – good news if you want more.

TrimMonthly PaymentLease TermDue at SigningAnnual Mileage
F-150 Lightning Pro$62048 months$6,35810,500 miles
F-150 Lightning XLT$34324 months$6,93710,500 miles

F-150 Lightning Lariat$63548 months$8,59410,500 miles
F-150 Lightning Platinum$70948 months$9,46810,500 miles

You’ll find these F-150 Lightning lease offers at participating dealers, but details can change depending on where you are. Ford hasn’t set an end date, but January deals usually get updated each month. With production wrapping up, what’s available will come down to what dealers still have on hand. Some places might also have lease deals on leftover 2024 models, sometimes with different pricing.

2025 F-150 Lightning Highlights

Even as it’s on its way out, the F-150 Lightning is still one of the easiest electric pickups to live with in the U.S. Every version comes with dual motors and all-wheel drive. Power starts at 452 hp for the Standard Range and goes up to 580 hp with the Extended Range battery. No matter which you pick, torque is a hefty 775 lb-ft.

Notable features across the range include:

  • Available Extended Range battery with up to 320 miles of EPA-estimated range
  • Strong straight-line performance, with Platinum trims reaching 60 mph in about 4.0 seconds
  • Large front trunk capable of carrying up to 400 pounds of cargo
  • Available Ford BlueCruise hands-free highway driving system

Towing maxes out at 10,000 pounds if you get the right setup, but expect the range to drop a lot when you’re hauling. On the plus side, features like vehicle-to-home power backup are still things you won’t find on regular gas or hybrid trucks.

Final Thoughts

The F-150 Lightning is now more of a final chapter than Ford’s long-term plan. Ending production doesn’t take away from what it did, but it does change how buyers should look at it. In this case, leasing makes a lot of sense. You get to try out a full-size electric truck without stressing over resale value, future changes, or how the next hybrid version will stack up.

With other brands still working on their electric pickups and Ford shifting to hybrids, flexibility is the real advantage here. The current F-150 Lightning lease deals let you enjoy the tech while it’s still around, without getting tied down as the market keeps changing.
