Exterior
The Ford F150 Lighting comes with many benefits when it comes to the exterior of the truck.

The body is more aerodynamic than the traditional truck’s, giving it a smoother, more modern appearance. The hood, running boards, and three grilles are all modified. The accurate indicator of top trims is the horizontal LED illumination that runs down the grille.

It offers several functions that can be accessed when the tailgate is down, including a phone or tablet holder, pencil holders, a ruler, and a cupholder. Every tailgate of an F-150 will include cleats attached to the sides. The cleats may be used to securely fasten long things when the tailgate must remain down to accommodate those hard-to-fit objects.
