2025 models may be coming in September - is that 50% possible? "August" shows in 2024 searches for some selections - so you may have a year-old vehicle late summer 2024.

I built/ordered my 2023 Lariat ER in September of 2022 - paid/drove it from the dealership 1st week of December 2022. :cool:

If they have the engineering and parts stream figured out for a NACS port, that might be possible.
IMHO 2024 production is running until Dec 2024, but that could change.

The 2024 searches aren't clear on the $7500 IRS purchase-point credit either - apparently some dealers aren't 'approved' for it so the qualified buyer must wait to IRS file for it. :devil: Devil is in the details.

That Build and Buy website seems very optimistic or their search function is foobarred. I did a 500-mile search from 5 zip codes representing Southwest, Texas/OK/LA, Southeast, East Coast and Midwest. Probably 80%+ of dealerships. It showed a whopping 808,000 Lightnings as either in route or scheduled through August. I'm pretty sure Ford cannot make 800K Lightnings by August.

Ford F-150 Lightning 2024 F-150 Lightning Orders Open w/ New Tech Updates, Lower Pricing Under $70K MSRP [Updated with SPECS Sheet] 1713407339629-q5

EDIT: we now know these numbers are inflated because it counts the same vehicle multiple times (once for each dealer who can sell it). See this thread: https://www.f150lightningforum.com/...h-fords-build-price-website.19429/post-389279

You may be looking at the 2023 site that has been irrelevant for months. You can't complete an order. At the end you are just sent to dealer inventory.

Wow that is a lot of inventory - and points to massive 2024 discounts coming if buyers hold back in inflationary times of less discretionary spending.

Massive discounts may be coming for patient buyers given EV high inventories by almost all vehicle producers. :devil:

By my count of production and sales reports to date, there are around 40,000 trucks available, {22, 23 & 24}

2024 model Build and Buy tool is now and has been live on Ford's website. It's been a little tucked away while they were selling 2023's.

https://www.ford.com/finder/2024/f150-lightning

As mentioned before in the forums, there is no more Pro for consumers.

With 5k difference for ER Flash and other goodies doubt they would sell much XLT 2024
Especially since the Extended Range was essentially a $10k option.

This is still a "FINDER" tool, there are specified builds either ordered pending scheduling, scheduled or in production. routing of these spec. order routing to dealers is probably flexible.

These prices make the deals on 2023s even more amazing. I guess they did the math on selling Pros and didn't like the results.

@TaxmanHog posted this same link in the initial thread a week ago (see his post 2). Lots of discussion there in case you want the Order Guide, etc.

Edit: And we have been merged. 🤲
