Comparison between the 2025 Ford F-150 Lightning and the 2025 Chevrolet Silverado EV

2025 Ford F-150 Lightning

 

The 2025 Ford F-150 Lightning offers refined ergonomics with a 1-Pedal Drive mode, ideal for city driving or maneuvering with a trailer. This mode allows you to slow down simply by releasing the accelerator, simplifying driving while optimizing energy recovery.

On the other hand, the 2025 Chevrolet Silverado EV also provides one-pedal driving along with the WOW (Wide Open Watts) mode focused on raw performance. However, it delivers a slightly heavier feel and less precise handling in corners, despite its four-wheel steering. This can compromise comfort on longer journeys.

Inside, the 2025 Ford F-150 Lightning stands out with its upscale atmosphere: premium materials, leather or ActiveX technical fabric seats, generous space, and an available panoramic roof. Its SYNC 4A interface with a 12-inch screen (or 15.5 inches on select models) provides smooth navigation, advanced voice control, and cutting-edge connectivity. The optional Bang & Olufsen audio system adds exceptional sound quality.

The 2025 Silverado EV features a 17.7-inch central screen paired with an 11-inch digital cluster. The cabin is spacious, with a flat floor and a practical front trunk. However, some reviews point to less refined finishing and weaker soundproofing, reducing the sense of luxury expected in this segment.

Performance, range, and charging comparison between the 2025 Ford F-150 Lightning and the 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV

In terms of power, the 2025 Silverado EV can reach up to 760 horsepower and 785 lb-ft of torque in its most powerful version. The 2025 Ford F-150 Lightning, while slightly behind on paper, delivers smooth and instantaneous power thanks to its dual electric motors with standard all-wheel drive. In real-world use, the Lightning’s responsiveness and smart power management provide a more balanced experience, particularly for utility tasks.

The towing capacity of the 2025 Silverado EV is impressive, reaching up to 12,500 lbs. The F-150 Lightning, meanwhile, can tow up to 10,000 lbs with the Max Trailer Tow package. For most professional or personal needs, this is more than sufficient. The Lightning also offers better handling and stability when loaded, thanks to its integrated weight management tools (Scales Onboard, Smart Hitch).

Regarding range, the 2025 Silverado EV claims up to 792 km depending on configuration. However, real-world tests show closer to 630 km. The Ford F-150 Lightning offers an estimated range of about 515 km with the extended-range battery. Its advantage lies in its Intelligent Range technology, which automatically adjusts estimates based on load, towing, weather, and terrain.

For charging, the 2025 Silverado EV can recover about 160 km of range in 10 minutes with 350 kW fast charging. The F-150 Lightning also supports fast charging, but stands out with its Pro Power Onboard feature. This allows you to power tools, equipment, or even a house during an outage, with up to 9.6 kW output and 11 available outlets—a true mobile power station.

Technology and safety comparison between the 2025 Ford F-150 Lightning and the 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV

Both vehicles come well-equipped in terms of safety. The 2025 Silverado EV includes standard autonomous emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and collision alert. It also offers Super Cruise, a hands-free driving system, though limited to specific roads and requiring a paid subscription after an initial free period.

The 2025 Ford F-150 Lightning features the Ford Co-Pilot360 suite, which also includes all modern driver assistance systems. It goes further with professional-oriented tools: Scales Onboard (automatic load weighing), Smart Hitch (automatic weight distribution adjustment), and a 360-degree camera for easier maneuvering.

SYNC 4A, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, over-the-air (OTA) updates, and natural voice recognition complete a seamless, advanced, and reliable tech package.

Verdict: why the Ford F-150 Lightning is the better choice

The 2025 Chevrolet Silverado EV is a strong contender, especially for those prioritizing maximum range and superior towing capacity. However, the 2025 Ford F-150 Lightning positions itself as a more balanced, smarter, and practical choice for everyday needs.

Its thoughtful ergonomics, reverse charging capabilities, towing management tools, refined comfort, and embedded technologies make it a more versatile electric pickup—whether for a contractor, a family, or an enthusiast of rugged vehicles.
