Ford Increased F-150 Lightning Prices Again
Ford Increased F-150 Lightning Prices Again-December 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:09:19

Ford F-150 Lightning Lariat

Look. I get it. Times are tough right now, especially if you’re in the business of making things. Materials and other costs associated with making cars make it a pricey endeavor. But increasing the price of your product three times in just four months might turn some people off. That’s what’s going on at Ford, as the automaker has on the F-150 Lightning yet again.

The price increases don’t affect all models. The base Pro and midlevel XLT are seeing the increases, while the already pricey Lariat and Platinum trims don’t see an increase. Including a $1,895 destination charge and an acquisition charge of $645 (a charge that Ford Credit charges customers; essentially it’s an account service fee), a base F-150 Lightning Pro now starts at $58,514. Remember, the Pro started at $39,974. But as pointed out, the pricing now is $5,000 more since the last price increase a few months ago.

Ford F-150 Lightning XLT

The midlevel XLT now starts at $66,014 (including destination and acquisition fee). And that’s with the standard-range battery which will give you 240 miles on a charge. If you want the long-range battery with 320 miles, it’ll be $83,514. Yep, you’re getting charged $17,500 to get 80 more miles of range.

A rep from Ford told the increased costs are “due to rising material costs, market factors, and ongoing supply-chain constraints.” The pricing went into effect December 15. Ford says that pricing for commercials customers will be going up in Q2 of 2023. This makes me wonder how many price increases we could see in the coming year from automakers across the board.

For $9,990, Could This 1981 Fiat 124 Sport Spider Make You Forget The New Miata-Based One?
Today’s Spider proves that at one time Fiat didn’t need Mazda to help it make super sexy sports cars. The seller of this one however, is going to need to prove all that sexy is still worth a sack of cash. When you go to look at a new car—say...

At $45,000, Could You Be Tempted By This 2016 Alfa Romeo 4C?
Today’s C4 makes for that most daunting of decisions, a nearly out of warranty modern day Alfa. Let’s see if its price might make it worth rolling the dice. Weathermen (and women) are the most easily derided of news reporters, simply because their prognostications are literally at the whims of...

The has basically been with us since 2005, and it last got an update in 2011. That makes it the car equivalent of half the lineup of the San Antonio Spurs. But people still seem to want them! People like my friend Rich, who I’m writing this review for. Look...

Perhaps the most decadent embodiment of conspicuous consumption is the yacht. Today’s Eurovan has been converted by a yacht maker, but will its price prove that only 1-percenters need apply. Do you think that owning an Alfa Romeo is a badge of honor among auto enthusiasts? You know, like actually...

The 2018 Volkswagen Arteon Is A Gorgeous Grand Tourer But I'm Not Sure Who It's For
The 2018 Volkswagen Arteon Is A Gorgeous Grand Tourer But I'm Not Sure Who It's For
Volkswagen really needs to decide what it wants to be when it grows up. Or gets out of a financial and regulatory prison sentence, I guess. And the new sedan has somehow emerged as the poster boy for this problem. Before the diesel cheating scandal unfolded, VW was chasing profits...
