Pricing /Comments

The F-150 Lightning now starts at under $50k once more.

Ford has announced significant reductions in the base MSRP of theFord F-150 Lightningacross the range, undoing months of price hikes spurred on by production and supply issues.

"Shortly after launching the F-150 Lightning, rapidly rising material costs, supply constraints, and other factors drove up the cost of the [electric] truck for Ford and our customers," said Marin Gjaja, chief customer officer forFord Model e. "We've continued to work in the background to improve accessibility and affordability to help to lower prices for our customers and shorten the wait times for their new F-150 Lightning."

The accessibility part was taken care of when Fordcanned the Lightning reservation programin May, and now the company is following through on making pricing less painful.

Ford attributes its ability to reduce prices to "increased plant capacity, continued work on scaling production and cost, and improving battery raw material costs." As a result of this increased production capacity, customersshould face shorter wait timestoo. But things will improve further, as Ford is still upgrading the Rouge Electric Vehicle Center in Michigan. The plant is currently closed for these improvements, with the goal of producing 150,000 Lightning pickups annually.

Regardless of the reason, this price reduction comes at a great time. For one thing,Ford F-150 Lightning price increaseshave been somewhat frequent since its launch, and with theTesla Cybertrucknearing full-scale production, customers may have begun to consider shopping away from Dearborn. Now that the Lightning starts below $50,000 again, choosing Ford may be a no-brainer.
