The 2025 Ford F-150 Lightning Lariat combines a five-seat SuperCrew cabin with an electric drivetrain and an enclosed front cargo compartment. Its main appeal over the less expensive Flash is comfort equipment: heated and ventilated front seats, a twin-panel moonroof, power tailgate and Phone As A Key are among the features Ford Canada lists for Lariat.
This guide accompanies our 2025 F-150 Lightning Lariat video. The video description identifies the trim but not the VIN or complete option list. Battery, towing and price references are therefore tied to documented Canadian configurations, rather than presented as the exact specification of the featured truck.

Models available
Ford Canada’s 2025 range includes Pro, XLT, Flash, Lariat and Platinum. The practical comparison for Lariat shoppers is usually Flash: it also offers an extended-range battery and the larger 15.5-inch centre display, without all of Lariat’s comfort equipment. Platinum adds further luxury equipment, including the 14-speaker B&O Unleashed system in Ford’s archived Canadian model information.
Do not assume every extended-range truck has the same battery. The Canadian reference Flash label below specifies 123 kWh, while the Lariat label specifies 131 kWh. Those are different configurations with different EnerGuide range figures. Trim names alone are not a substitute for the actual vehicle specification.
Electric drivetrain and battery
The Lightning uses two electric motors and four-wheel drive, with a single-speed transmission rather than the multi-speed automatic used in a gasoline F-150. Ford Canada lists 580 hp for the Lariat and Platinum powertrain and 775 lb-ft of torque. These are manufacturer specifications, not acceleration measurements from our video. Archived Canadian 2025 model and equipment information.
A vapour-injection heat pump is standard across the 2025 range. The September Canadian Lariat label identifies a 131-kWh extended-range battery and ActiveX-trimmed seats. That reference truck is not the vehicle in the March video, but it provides a documented Canadian equipment and price example without importing a U.S. specification.
Towing and load limits
Ford Canada lists up to 10,000 lb of conventional towing for a properly configured extended-range Lightning with the optional Max Trailer Tow Package. Without that package, the relevant extended-range maximum is 7,700 lb. Some wheel-and-tire combinations reduce the packaged rating: the Canadian guide lists 9,600 lb for the 131-kWh configuration with the specified 20-inch all-terrain setup. 2025 Canadian F-150 towing guide.
A Class IV hitch, trailer camera features and Lariat trim do not prove that Max Trailer Tow is fitted. Ford’s guide also requires a weight-distributing hitch above 5,000 lb and lists a 60-square-foot trailer frontal-area limit for the extended-range configuration. Check the individual ratings, trailer equipment and loaded weight before planning around the advertised maximum.
Passengers, cargo, accessories and trailer tongue weight all count against carrying capacity. The front compartment is useful storage, but filling it still adds vehicle load. Neither a range-wide maximum payload nor the 10,000-lb towing headline is assigned to the particular truck in the video.
Range, efficiency and charging
The Canadian 131-kWh Lariat reference label shows 515 km of standardized range and 29.8 kWh/100 km combined electricity consumption. NRCan’s May 2025 guide lists 26.9 city and 33.3 highway for that extended-range configuration. The 123-kWh Flash reference instead shows 483 km and 29.2 kWh/100 km combined; the standard-range XLT label shows 386 km and 30.6 kWh/100 km. NRCan 2025 Fuel Consumption Guide.
These are standardized ratings, not winter, towing or video-measured results. Using the Lariat’s combined figure for a 20,000-km annual planning example gives 5,960 kWh. Multiply by the applicable electricity rate, then account separately for public-charging fees and the way the truck will actually be used. A home tariff should not be assumed to apply at every public station.
Ford’s March 2025 Canadian information gives an estimated 41 minutes for an extended-range battery to charge from 15% to 80% using a suitable 150-kW-or-higher DC charger. That is a specified charging window, not a zero-to-full time. Battery temperature, initial charge and station performance affect the result. Dated Canadian charging information.
For home charging, have a qualified installer assess the electrical supply and equipment needed. The mobile power cord is a separately priced item on the Canadian labels used here. Its presence in a photograph or another vehicle’s equipment list does not establish that it comes with the truck you are buying.
Interior, seating and cargo
Lariat provides heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel, dual-zone climate control and driver-seat memory in Ford’s Canadian equipment list. The rear seat is a 60/40 flip-up bench. ActiveX is Ford’s named seating material; it should not automatically be described as leather.
The twin-panel moonroof is standard Lariat equipment in the archived 2025 listing, unlike the optional moonroof on some smaller Ford pickups. A power-sliding rear window, adjustable pedals and the interior work surface are also listed. Check seating position and child-seat access in the actual cabin before deciding which convenience features matter most.
The Mega Power Frunk provides 400 litres of enclosed storage with a stated load limit of 181 kg. The cargo box provides 1,495 litres of volume. Those figures describe separate spaces, not one continuous cargo area, and volume does not establish how much weight the truck can carry.
Infotainment, power outlets and assistance
Lariat pairs a 12-inch digital instrument cluster with a 15.5-inch SYNC 4A touchscreen. Ford lists B&O audio, wireless charging, a 360-degree camera, adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assistance and pre-collision assistance with automatic emergency braking. Phone As A Key requires a compatible phone and setup; confirm connected features and remaining service terms on a previously registered truck.
The 9.6-kW Pro Power Onboard system is optional, not standard simply because this is a Lariat. It is priced at $1,200 on the September reference label. BlueCruise entitlement also needs checking: that label specifies a 90-day trial. Hands-free assistance remains conditional on compatible roads and operating conditions, with an attentive driver required.
Pricing in CAD
These historical Canadian factory labels were downloaded and visually inspected on October 28, 2026. Dates below are the printed label dates. Base MSRPs exclude options, $2,795 destination and delivery, the $100 air-conditioning excise charge and sales taxes. These are reference builds, not an as-tested price for the video truck.
| 2025 configuration | Base MSRP (CAD) | Printed label date | Key difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| XLT 311A, 98 kWh | $69,995 | February 19, 2025 | Standard-range battery; cloth seating on this reference build. |
| Flash 312A, 123 kWh | $81,495 | February 19, 2025 | Extended-range battery, ActiveX seats, heated steering wheel and B&O audio on this build. |
| Lariat 511A, 131 kWh | $95,595 | September 10, 2025 | Larger documented battery, ventilated front seats, moonroof and additional convenience equipment. |
The two February labels show an $11,500 base-price step from XLT to Flash. The later Lariat base is $14,100 above the February Flash; that comparison includes battery and equipment differences and uses different dates. It is not a pure comfort-package price or a guarantee of one unchanged price throughout 2025.
The Lariat base plus delivery and excise is $98,490 before options and sales taxes. Its complete reference label totals $103,190 after power outlets, charging cord, bed accessories and other additions. The Flash reference totals $89,130, including optional Max Trailer Tow at $1,120 and other equipment. Pro and Platinum prices are omitted because equivalent dated Canadian price records were not established for this comparison.
Competition and which Lightning makes sense
Compare Flash and Lariat by the battery and equipment on each actual truck. Flash can be the more relevant starting point if the electric drivetrain and pickup utility matter more than the moonroof or ventilated seats. Lariat makes its case through comfort, but the final choice also needs a workable charging plan.
Other electric pickups include the Chevrolet Silverado EV and Rivian R1T. For a combustion-powered comparison within Ford’s range, our 2026 F-150 Lariat guide and 2026 F-150 XLT guide cover separate models; their specifications and prices do not replace the 2025 Lightning records here.
