Thanks to a recent leak, we now know what the F-150 Lightning brings to the table and at what cost.
The buzz around the electric version of America’s best-selling model has been non-stop. Pre-orders for the F-150 have already crossed the 100,000 mark only a month after its official reveal. And now, due to the leak of a survey intended for prospective buyers, we have an idea of what the pricing will be like across trim levels.
Originally posted on the F-150 Gen14 forum, the email lists the different MSRP Pricing, both before and after tax credits, for each trim. As expected, the Pro model starts at $39,974, while the base XLT will set you back $52,974. The Premium Package will cost $56,774, the Lariat $64,474, and the Platinum, $89,874—all before the $7500 federal tax credit.
Starting with the Pro level, an extended-range battery pack will cost you $10,000, which will bump your range per charge to 300 miles, from the standard 230 miles, but even more importantly, also boosting the available power from 426 to 563 horsepower, for a 0-60mph in the mid 4 seconds range (President Biden says 4.4 secs).
The $79,474 Lariat with Premium Package gets the extended battery pack as standard, while the same upgrade costs $7,000 on the XLT, XLT with Premium Package, and the Lariat. The Max Trailer Tow Package also boosts the max towing rating to 10,000 pounds for $865 on all trims, except for the Platinum, which gets it as standard.
The Tow Technology Package will add a 360-degree camera, pro trailer backup assist, trailer brake controller, pro trailer hitch assist, smart hitch, onboard scales, smart trailer tow connection, trailer reverse guidance, and a trailer camera. It is listed as $1,948 for the Pro and $1,495 on the XLT, XLT with Premium Package, and Lariat. The equipment is standard on the Lariat with Premium Package and Platinum.
An upgrade of the 2.6kW onboard generator to a 9.6kW unit will set you back $1,070 on the Pro and XLT models while it is standard on all the other trims.
According to the leak, the F-150 Lightning Lariat also offers Co-Pilot 360 for $1,825, giving access to Ford’s ‘Blue Cruise’ advanced driving assistance technology, active park assist, and phone-as-key feature.
“Results from this survey will help us understand consumers’ demand for various models, options, and accessories. This survey is not representative of final pricing or feature availability,” commented Ford spokesperson Emma Berg in a statement to Motor1.com.
Keeping this in mind, we might better not get too carried away.
