Ford Increased F-150 Lightning Prices Again
Ford Increased F-150 Lightning Prices Again-July 2024

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.

At $950, Would You Go All-In On This 1984 Plymouth Colt GTS Turbo Project?
One of the calling cards of today’s Plymouth Colt is its “Twin Stick” overdrive gear change, which gives the car eight speeds going forward and two in reverse. Let’s see if this project car has anything else to offer. Just as Goldilocks discovered when appropriating Papa Bear’s lifestyle and...

Which One Of You Suckers Is Going To Pay Over $32,000 For A 25-Year-Old Toyota 4Runner
The (and Tacoma) have a death grip on used values. It’s been this way for years. Go ahead, go try and buy any TRD trim that’s a couple of years old; it’ll cost you as much as a new one — not that you could buy a new one...

According to its seller, today’s Nissan 4X4 shows “pride of ownership.” Let’s see if it would take swallowing one’s pride to pay its asking price. Opinions were split on how well the design of yesterday’s has held up over the years. Some of you commented that the design still...

At $8,600, Would You Go Topless In This 1994 Cadillac Eldorado?
The seller of today’s Caddy claims they should be selling it at auction but says who’s got time for that? Let’s see if we have the time for this custom convertible at its non-auction price. Many of you agreed that the $950 asked for yesterday’s was “chump change.” Even...
