?‍? F-150 Lightning Build & Price Configurator Now Live! Post Your Build

[greenne]

I don't think anyone is complaining about the Lightning itself. Its a good truck. Now that official pricing is out as well as build plan (minimal number of Pro Models), those like me can make a value proposition based on several factors. Price is a big one. Knowing that I don't need a full size truck for hauling bikes, Home Depot runs, my family of 4, and minimal towing, its clear that I can get longer range, better interior (IMHO) and better warranty with Rivian. Is the interior of the Rivian smaller than the Lightning - yes, but its not the same size as Ridgeline.

I'm not hating the Lightning, its just not the better value for me.

There is also the timing/delivery aspect...

I have much more faith that Ford is going to be able to rapidly scale up production over the next 12-24months. I have less faith that Rivian can significantly increase production.

Will people be willing to wait for a cheaper and better(financially) Rivian? We'll see.

I think Silverado is a bigger threat to Ford than Rivian....

I can see the Tesla trolls are out in full force ….. lmao…..

A Mach-E GT with Performance Pack getting 250 miles of range is $72k but somehow they want a Lariat Lightning to be the same price of below smh. Get a clue, a Rivian is the size of a Ridgeline, it’s not an F-150. Hilarious

I don't think this is some massive con or anything, but $93,064 for the Platinum is very high. It seems ford wants to fully capture any tax incentives and still be significantly higher than the hybrid models.

I priced two trucks with similar options, 1 is the Lariat Lightning and the other is Lariat with a hybrid engine, and the Lightning is $15,000 more. That's about $5,000 higher than I would have expected.

Ford priced themselves out. There are much better EV trucks out there, the good news is maybe more incentives will be available in the future with so many people dropping out.

For the rumors that the Pro wouldn't have push to start, that seems wrong.

The images for the Pro clearly shows a push start.

That rumor was always bogus. The spec sheet always listed it push button start as standard on all trims.

Rivian has already given me my estimated delivery date - time will tell how accurate it will be. I made reservations for both knowing that I wanted to make a value comparison when the time came. Given my reservation # with Rivian, there is no risk of the tax incentive running out, as I'm well below the 50K number let alone the 200K number. I have yet to see a bad review on the Rivian.

There was part of me hoping Ford would come out on top, as I do like the Lightning. Just not the case for me.

Straight Atlas Blue Lariat Premium with 0 option. Slightly under 80k , on the positive notes, power running board is actually included without the need to pay extra (most brochure or spreadsheet showed it as a $500 option)

 

[sotek2345]

Pretty simple - Lariat+ with all terrains in Atlas Blue. $79,319

Same, but Rapid Red instead of Atlas Blue - great blue color, but it makes that Lightning badging disappear.

Looks like I was "blocked" by Ford. I tried to goto my reservation, and it wouldn't load properly... kept on refreshing on its own. Now I can't seem to access the site... sigh. Oh well...

Probably just overwhelmed with too many people checking it out. Maybe try again? Nothing really on there that you can’t learn reading these threads on here.

 

[SmoothJ]

I just tried it again, and no issues accessing the site now. I was hoping they would have towning mirrors and some other features, but its about weight I guess.

EDIT: I just read the information on the extended battery, it says XLT and Lariat would get ~300 miles and Platinum would get ~280. My 21 Lariat PB is looking better at the moment...

 

[BobbleHeadGuru]

I did a video for mine. I hope this is value added for you. I cover:
The lower than expected destination charge, the color availability, the fact that anyone can get the Pro and the fact that Village Ford (my dealer, I am just their customer), sells at MSRP:

 

[Griddlez]

Anyone have any experience with " Individual Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)/Customer-Placed Trailer Camera"

-- Is this something that gets programmed into the truck's displays or.. can it be added later down the line? I don't have a trailer I want to use this on yet but I will in future. If it gets programmed into Sync somehow and can't be done later on, I'll go ahead and get it now.

 

[JBauer]

It all makes sense now:
Lariat 511A Extended - $79,964
Platinum 710A Extended - $92,569
Lariat 510A Standard - $69,964
XLT 311A Standard Range - $54,669
XLT 312A Extended Range - $74,169
Pro Standard Range - $41,669
XLT 312A Standard -$64,169

Anyone else having issues getting their Reservations & Order page to load on Ford.com?

I'm having the same issue with regard to the constant refresh when I try to view my reservation. It briefly says that I have no reservations, then refreshes for 10 seconds and shows the same no reservations screen, then repeats endlessly.

Will you have aftermarket bed liner added? I'm thinking I might be most comfortable with Ford doing with the outlet compartment and all in the bed. Of course, it could also slow down the production if there is a global bed liner spray shortage
