But buyers beware: the price for the electric truck has gone up by around $7,000 across all trim levels.<\/p>\n<p id=\"ROOIL9\">Ford is citing \u201csignificant material cost increases and other factors\u201d as the primary reason for raising the price. Indeed, the F-150 Lightning is only the latest electric vehicle to see its price go up as a result of supply chain constraints, inflation, and greater demand for batteries and other components. <\/p>\n<div class=\"c-float-right\">\n<aside id=\"eN2yit\"><q>\u201cSignificant material cost increases and other factors\u201d<\/q><\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"R5HKNv\">Ford said it will honor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2021\/5\/19\/22442777\/ford-f-150-lightning-electric-truck-specs-price\">the original manufacturer suggested retail price<\/a> (MSRP) for all current reservation holders. But anyone plunking down the $100 deposit starting Thursday, when reservations reopen, will have to pay the newly adjusted price. <\/p>\n<p id=\"TONdhi\">\u201cCurrent order holders awaiting delivery are not impacted by these price adjustments,\u201d Marin Gjaja, chief customer officer, Model E, said in a statement. \u201cWe\u2019ve announced pricing ahead of re-opening order banks so our reservation holders can make an informed decision around ordering a Lightning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"RLOVzQ\">Here\u2019s a breakdown of the new prices:<\/p>\n<p id=\"JdveXW\">Pro old price: $39,974; new price: $46,974<\/p>\n<p id=\"QuU9dg\">XLT old price: $52,974; new price: $59,474<\/p>\n<p id=\"TuATda\">XLT High old price $62,474 (est.); new price: $68,474<\/p>\n<p id=\"JLqNlL\">XLT High \/ Extended Range old price: $73,974; new price: $80,974<\/p>\n<p id=\"0jD4XJ\">Lariat old price: $67,074; new price: $74,474<\/p>\n<p id=\"6WmBup\">Lariat Extended Range old price: $77,074; new price: $85,974<\/p>\n<p id=\"OTmR15\">Platinum Extended Range old price: $92,669; new price: $96,874<\/p>\n<p id=\"53rMTw\">Price increases suck, but Ford is trying to sweeten the pot by offering a few new features and a range boost. The automaker said it increased the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/3\/21\/22989234\/ford-f150-lightning-epa-range-electric-truck\">EPA estimated range<\/a> of its standard range battery back by 10 miles for a total of 250 miles. It\u2019s also adding its Pro Trailer Hitch Assist technology, which pretty much automatically hooks up a trailer for you, as an added bonus. <\/p>\n<p id=\"4PNp0J\">And if you think that the $7,500 federal EV tax credit might help take some of the sting out of these price increases, think again. Under the deal constructed by Senate Democrats, the Ford F-150 Lightning <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/8\/8\/23296678\/ev-tax-credit-qualify-battery-supply-chain-china\">would not be eligible for the tax credit<\/a> until at least 40 percent of its components \u2014 including the battery \u2014 are made in North America or by a US trading partner. <\/p>\n<p id=\"krxBN1\">Ford currently sources its batteries from CATL, a Chinese battery manufacturer \u2014 though it hopes to eventually build the battery packs in Georgia at a new facility it\u2019s building in partnership with South Korea\u2019s SK Innovation. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><code><br \/><\/br><\/code><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/8\/9\/23298076\/ford-f-150-lightning-electric-truck-price-order-2023\">https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/8\/9\/23298076\/ford-f-150-lightning-electric-truck-price-order-2023<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source: Nearly nine months after it stopped taking reservations, Ford is ready to reopen the order banks for the F-150 Lightning.
