2023 Ford Lightning (Wave Aug ‘22 Order)
Same thing happened with my Lightning order. Sucks to wait since 2021 only to have it all fall apart with the trucking sitting in the dealer parking lot. Ford was of no help either - dealers regional rep wouldn’t help, ford corporate wouldn’t assist. Never ordering a Ford again - they just don’t have control over the process or a fair process for price changes.

I'm sorry man, that sucks. Did you talk to the regional rep yourself? It's possible that that's why mine worked, but I don't know for sure.

The dealer wouldn’t allow that but he did show me the email. I do blame ford for allowing this to even happen to begin with. It’s insane that these orders are being sent with pricing and invoices that don’t match up to the customer order.

I completely agree. This shouldn't be an issue at all

My dealership just came back with my pro price of 66,079 - 7,000 rebate = totaling 59,079...Does that seem right? I was a 22 Pro converted to a 23 with Tow Tech and Spray in bed liner. Signed paperwork back in August.

No that doesn’t seem right at all. Mine was the same and they would only apply the PCO and not honor the order price. I walked and they are sitting on a $63k PRO.

Does anyone know if the 7k rebate happens before or after taxes in NYS?
I'm also in WNY....the $7,000 private savings offer, was treated as a rebate in my case also. The $5,000 October and the $4,000 December price increases were taken off the window sticker price prior to taxes being figured. The $7,000 on the other hand was figured into the taxable amount....then subtracted (as a rebate) from total sales price.
So I paid $560 extra in tax on that 7k. Not going to complain too much though, was out the door for A bit over $47,000.

That's similar to what my dealership did at first as well. I told them that I should be price protected and the price should be 13k less than what they were saying. It took half a day and I contacted the regional rep for Ford, but they got the price where it was supposed to be. You are protected from the other price increases, Ford will pay back the dealership for them. Now, it is possible that you might have to pay the higher amount up front and they'll give you the check once they receive it from Ford, but my dealership didn't do that

No, I’m losing faith. I emailed what I think is the Regional Rep for Ford in NY. I also called that 800 number and got nowhere. Will try again when I get home later. Just don’t understand how I’m at 59k after 7000 Rebate for a PRO model.

My dealer is playing dumb and I’m so frustrated. Waiting almost two years only to get fucked at the finish line. Gonna kill me to walk away but I’m going to fight. Just sucks because I sold my car last week in preparation for the truck and here we are.

There are also the internal memos from Ford that state that you are price protected, did you show them those?

He’s claiming the 7000 IS the price protection
Well, he's right in one aspect I guess, but that's just splitting hairs on the names of the different protection. I believe they called the 7k a private offer or something like that, the other ones are a price protection. I'm attaching the memos from ford that state that if you had ordered before the increases that you are not affected by them. Maybe they can help.
