Ford Motor Co. has increased the starting price of its electric F-150 Lightning Pro to nearly $56,000, the latest in a series of sticker hikes attributed to the rising costs of raw materials. 

When the first full-size, battery-powered pickup trucks began rolling off Detroit assembly lines in April, the starting price was roughly $40,000. 

By August, that price had jumped to $46,974. And in October, Ford executives raised it again, to $51,974. 

New orders for the F-150 Lightning Pro will start at $55,974, a Ford Motor spokeswoman said Friday—a 40% increase from its original price tag.

Hoovie has done more to damage the image of the Lightning than Chevy could have hoped to do.

All while being 100% honest.

It goes with the same thing i keep saying about whether it’s cars, real estate, Disney, etc.

They have raised the price and leave it there so it’s common place and people just accept it. Won’t matter, guys are still gonna pay the raised prices for those trucks just like dumb arses are gonna continue buying houses for ridiculous over priced cost

Good luck getting back.

You may need to top off your charge before heading home.

Next thing you know Entergy or CLECO’s rates are going to be the same as gas.
