THE F150 LIGHTNING JUST GOT NEARLY $10,000 KNOCKED OFF ITS PRICE. IS IT NOW A BARGAIN?

EV Channels Review

The Ford F-150 Lightning has seen a significant price reduction, with cuts ranging from $6,000 to $10,000, making it a more compelling option. The presenter highlights that after these cuts, the Pro Standard Range model, when factoring in potential federal tax incentives, can effectively be priced under $45,000, positioning it competitively against gasoline F-150 variants. The review notes that while the base gasoline F-150 XL is cheaper, it lacks the SuperCrew cab and AWD of the Lightning Pro. Higher trims, like the Lariat Extended Range, are now priced more closely to their gasoline counterparts, especially when considering optional extras. The presenter, a current Lariat Extended Range owner, personally vouches for its value for specific use cases like rural living, hauling, and towing, and its ability to power a home during outages. However, the review points out that some features previously standard are now optional, and the reliability of the home integration system is questioned. Ultimately, the F-150 Lightning is deemed a good deal for those who genuinely need a truck's capabilities, but not for those seeking a 'trophy truck'.
