The 2023 Ford F-150<\/a> Lightning is getting more expensive, again<\/a>. Ford\u2019s electric truck<\/a> has already been subject to several huge price increases this year, and today\u2019s price revelations are more of the same.<\/p>\n

According to the truck<\/a>\u2019s online configurator, the base Lightning Pro<\/a> now starts at $57,869, an increase of $4,100. If you recall<\/a> all the headlines and great press from the Lightning\u2019s initial launch<\/a>, the big news then was that the base Pro would start at about $40,000. Ford may have launched with this impressive price, but in the span of a few months, the price has gone up by over $16,000.<\/p>\n

Ford blamed the most recent increase in price from October on global supply chain issues, rising material costs and more. We asked Ford for comment on this month\u2019s increase, too, and received a similar statement from a company spokesperson in response.<\/p>\n

“We adjust pricing as a normal course of business due to rising material costs, market factors, and ongoing supply chain constraints.”<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, it\u2019s not just the Pro that\u2019s going up in price. The XLT trim is subject to the same $4,100 increase, making that truck\u2019s new starting price $65,369.<\/p>\n

On the bright side, both the Lariat and Platinum models aren\u2019t seeing big price bumps. The Lariat goes up $100 to $76,369, and the Platinum is weirdly $350 cheaper now at $98,319.<\/p>\n

The good news for anybody with a previous order is that Ford will honor the price at which they placed their order at. New orders for 2023 model year Lightnings will be subject to the price increases detailed in this story.
