Ford F-150 Lightning Prices Rise $6000 to $8500 as Order Books Reopen for the EV Pickup

• The Ford F-150 Lightning's prices are rising between $6000 and $8500, Ford said today in announcing that order books for the popular electric pickup will open again this week.

• The increases are largely due to pricier materials, according to Ford.

• The company plans to increase the standard battery's estimated range from 230 to 240 miles.

The Ford F-150 Lightning just got more expensive. That's because Ford today announced increased prices for the electric pickup truck's entire 2023 lineup, which rise between $6000 and $8500, depending on the trim level.

The base-level Pro now starts at $48,769—up $7000 from $41,769. Meanwhile, the XLT jumps from $54,769 to $61,269 (up $6500). With the optional bigger battery, the XLT's price rises by $8500 to $82,769. The Lariat now starts at $76,269 (up $7000), and the big-battery version now starts at $87,769 (up $8500). Finally, the top-tier Platinum receives a $6000 increase, pushing its price to $98,669.

The company says the price hikes are due to "significant material cost increases and other factors." The news comes as the regular 2023 F-150 lineup also sees significantly higher MSRPs beyond normal model-year adjustments. Plus, it coincides with Ford's plan to reopen order banks for the Lightning on Thursday for the next wave of reservation holders.
