Ford Increased F-150 Lightning Prices Again
Ford Increased F-150 Lightning Prices Again-August 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.

For $6,000, it’s wabbit season
For $6,000, it’s wabbit season
You don't have to be Elmer Fudd to like hunting rabbits, and today's beige bunny seems worthy of the chase. But will its price make you go hu-hu-hu-hu-hu-hu-hu-hu? In an odd confluence of forces of nature, when VW made the switch from air-cooling for their engines to H2O, they chose...

Ford F-150 SVT Raptor SuperCrew: First Drive
The CIM-10 Bomarc surface-to-air missile was a lunatic collaboration between the Michigan Aerospace Research Center and Boeing. A rocket/ramjet hybrid of the rip-roaring postwar military-industrial complex, the Bomarc was designed to hurtle itself into an advancing formation of Tupolevs at 2 1/2 times the speed of sound and detonate a...

When it comes to automotive artistic expression, Chevy's Suburban offers a generous canvas. Today's custom '98 may be more urban than suburban, but is its price a work of art? Poor Steve Saleen, first he chooses a monastic haircut that only serves to highlight his male pattern baldness, and then...

For $45,900, don’t mullet over too long
Half-baked, half-assed, half-hearted, there's lots of negatives associated with the image of halves. However, as today's 1970 and a half Z-28 proves, being awesome is half the battle. Nearly half of you yesterday found the to be Nice Price, while nearly half of you thought the updates were just polishing...

Few people get all hot and bothered by the Toyota Camry, as driving one is much like eating plain oatmeal. . . from a beige bowl. The seller of today's '94 Coupe seems to feel differently, but is it just its TRD supercharger that is pressurizing his passion? It's generally...

While advanced in design, Fiat's X1/9 was ephemeral in its execution, and few have stood the test of time. Today's '78 however has not only passed time's test, it went back for some alloy-rim extra credit. It turns out big willie style was a page of the Karma Sutra that...
