PRO available in Canada to consumers?

[Kev12345]

I heard the PRO model is available to consumers in Canada now? No pricing on Ford.ca. Anyone have any additional info? Wondering if this includes the extended range battery and if the pro extended range comes in under $70k to qualify for federal ZEV rebate?

I haven't looked into the details, but my dealership (Markville Ford) shows the Lightning available for lease on their website with a bi-weekly price of $305 plus HST (based on a 48 months at 6.99% with $995 down).

extended range pro for $65k Canadian after the ZEV rebate would be an amazing value considering truck prices today. hopefully the federal government can either adjust the rebate threshold or ford can come in under the current $70k limit.

Theoretically Pro and Pro ER can still be ordered, but one local dealer told me last week that order allocations are tight to none. Dealers are directing people to XLT for more availability. Pro ER is not eligible for iZev.

I don’t get Ford’s strategy on this. You’d think they’d want to take advantage of the federal 5k subsidy and the various provincial incentives.
Ford Canada, if you are listening, do like Tesla did when the incentive first launched, to get the Model 3 under the cap. Offer an even-more stripped down Pro Extended Range. (plywood seats, AM radio only, 14 “ wheels with Hello Kitty hubcaps and 150km range limiter) that is “technically” available but that nobody would ever order, and price it under the cap. Then the higher priced trims would qualify.

the higher trims already have to be under $70k CAD. The federal government should really raise that cap beyond $90k if they’re serious about Canadians transitioning larger vehicles to EV’s.

This would allow XLT ER’s to qualify. I’m sure this would make a lot of people consider going EV over buying an ecoboost/powerboost variant.

Lightning Pro Pricing is available on the Woodridge Ford website. The MSRP is $59,000.00 plus freight and deliver of $2295.00 on top of that. It looks like the the extended range battery is available for an additional $16,000.00. I don't know how many 2023 Pro allocations they have but i do recall that they were only given 3 XLT allocations for all of 2023 when i ordered my truck back in November 2022.

for reference, an optioned out pro with ER is $79k, and optioned out XLT ER is $89k.

rebate is limited to $70k max... I think Canadians would really like the extended range battery for winter.

Looks like PRO is now available to configure on ford.ca. Including the extended range battery!

You will need a very nice dealer to sell you Pro ER as it's fleet order only

Exactly this. Pro is being reserved for fleet customers. Many XLT's still make it under the cap for a rebate. I'm just not certain if it's a Canada only thing, or the States is the same thing

I'm not sure I understand the naming conventions? Pro seems like it should be a top model, but based on the pricing it's below a Lariat.

That makes sense. I guess the term "pro" for trucks is the same as "premium" for beer
