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

The original Celica may not have had the sex appeal of Toyota's previous sport coupe, the 2000 GT, but it was a hell of a lot more accessible. Today's '73 coupe has an 18RG evolutionarily derived from the 2000 GT's DOHC six, but will its price make you say GTFO?...

For $6,000, Climb The G-Lader
Despite being touted as one of the best handing front-drivers around, Volkswagen's Corrado never found much favor here in the U.S.. Today's G60 edition has been favorably restored, but is its price too much to handle? The original Scirocco's Giugiaro design proved to be a classic, while VW's in-house penned...

For $12,500, You Could Flip Over This Rotary Samurai
Wankel-powered, convertible, four by four, those are descriptors that don't traditionally go together, but like apple pie and cheddar cheese their disparate attractions combined are probably awesome. Today's Suzuki Samurai is just such a combination, but will its price spoil the recipe? Nights in White Satin was a dirge by...

For $4,900, Cop To A Six-Speed Caprice
Since the dawn of time, cop cars have been the source of both fear and envy when appearing in the rearview mirror. After all, they get cop motors, cop tires, cop suspension, and a Motorola, which nobody can out-run. Today's 1995 Chevy Caprice seeks to level the playing field, and...

For $14,999, You Could Wear A Custom Blazer
Chevy's Blazer was named for its expected off-road prowess, literally blazing trails. Today's custom roadster is a Blazer that blazes on-road only, but will paying its asking price mean you'd get burned? VW Vortexicans are a focused bunch, eating, sleeping, and fahrvergnügening all things People's Car. They also seem unable...

For $10,000, Will This Custom Mustang Hold Your Horses?
While Nicole Kidman used to be stunningly beautiful, it seems as though plastic surgery has tipped uncomfortably close to that of . Today's 1966 Mustang has had an equally dramatic transformation, but does the price of this one-off have too many decimal places off? The similarities between the Ford Mustang...
