Yep, they get their approved vehicles list from the Department of Revenue … it can take some time for them to update it and send it out……Just tried the rebate - they have approved 2022 trucks but not 2023 ones. Told me to keep checking back.
….it an take 6 to 8 weeks…..or, more…mine took about 2 months…..My dealer applied for me in late Dec 2022 (for the purchase of a 2023 Lariat ER). I haven't seen anything yet...
The rebate rules say that the base MSRP has to be below 50k. I imagine when Ford raised the prices for the 23MY this disqualified them. Very annoying as at that point we didn’t have a choice on getting the 22 or 23…Any information on why Oregon has declassified the Lightning? I checked the GVWR and the truck has a 8,250 lbs rating, so that should be OK...?
This is a real bummer for cash buyers especially if the IRS cuts the Feds value in half. It makes into another $6,250 price increase to the truck.
