![]() ![]() The Ford F-150 Lightning and 5 Other Game ChangersĪfter taking steps last fall to increase the planned Ford F-150 Lightning production amid the continuing semiconductor shortage and the disruptions of the pandemic, Ford revealed this week that it plans to almost double production of the upcoming EV. ![]() What starts out looking like a $10,000 option on XLT models, given the mandatory $9500 equipment group, means that the availability of the extended-range battery starts north of the $70,000 mark. Perhaps the biggest surprise of the configurator launch has turned out to be the pricing strategy of the 300-mile battery pack. This version will also feature a unique front fascia along with 22-inch wheels. The range-topping Platinum trim, meanwhile, will start at $92,569 and offer the extended-range battery as standard, while dialing up the luxury trimmings even further to include an 18-speaker Bang & Olufsen stereo system, Nirvana leather, and all of the optional items on the two previous trims. ![]() The extended-range battery is once again a $10,000 option here, with the standard-range battery being the default option, so far more can be easily spent at this level. The Lariat trim will start at $69,169 and will offer such luxury items like leather-trimmed seats, a 15.5-inch infotainment screen, and an eight-speaker Bang and Olufsen stereo. That equipment group will add goodies like a power tailgate, 20-inch wheels, and 9.6-kW Pro Power Onboard system, with two additional towing packages available on the menu for a little extra. Therefore, there is quite a bit of difference in price between the XLT model with the standard-range battery, and the extended-range pack. Buyers who opt for the extended-range battery, however, will also have to take the XLT 312A equipment group, which will bring the price of the longer-range XLT trim up to $74,169, prior to the $1695 destination charge. The latter will dial the performance up to 563 hp and 775 lb-ft of torque, at a cost of $10,000. ![]() The XLT trim, which will be the entry-level trim for most buyers, will start at $54,669, and will be offered with a choice of the standard-range battery or an extended-range battery, good for 300 miles.
