Ford is adjusting the MSRP on the F-150 Lightning for the first time since it was revealed in May 2021 and has honoured MSRP for all customer orders to date, it said.
The F-150 Lightning Pro variant now starts at $46,974.
“Current order holders awaiting delivery are not impacted by these price adjustments,” Marin Gjaja, chief customer officer, Model e, said. “We’ve announced pricing ahead of re-opening order banks so our reservation holders can make an informed decision around ordering a Lightning.”
The all-electric F-150 Lightning pickup, part of the Ford F-Series, officially launched in April 2022. The first customer deliveries began in May with over 4,400 sold year to date.
