Ford raises F-150 Lightning price due to supply chain issues and rising costs
Ford is once again raising the prices of the F-150 Lightning pickup. The hike affects the entry-level Ford F-150 Lightning Pro and it's exactly $5,000, making the new starting price $51,974.
Ford has cited "ongoing supply chain constraints, rising material costs and other market factors" - the usual reasons.
This isn't the first time Ford has upped the prices of the F-150 Lightning - it raised them across the range once by $6,000 and $8,500. Nor is Ford the only one that does it - Rivian, and most notably, Tesla have been rising prices quite often of late.

This modified Ford F-150 Lightning might just be the perfect roadtrip EV
Tjin Edition’s SEMA build comes complete with solar charging, a roof tent and… Recaro seats
Roadtripping in an EV can still be a little bit of a chore sometimes. It’s almost never the fault of the cars, but the infrastructure often just isn’t up to the task. This might make things a little easier though – it’s Tjin Edition’s take on a Ford F-150 Lightning.
It’s been built in collaboration with Ford and Thule, with the latter supplying the roof box and the separate box that’s sitting on top of the pickup bed. That second one isn’t just more storage though – it’s actually a full fold-out roof tent. Heck, you could just pop that up when you get to a fast-charger, have a quick nap while plugged in and then get straight back on the road. Brilliant.
There’s loads more too. Ford describes this SEMA 2022 build as a ‘Swiss Army Knife’ and looking at the spec sheet you can see why. There’s solar charging (which presumably helps run some of the additional electric bits) a portable air compressor, an onboard fridge, a cooking station out back, four Recaro seats and a gun safe in the centre console. Not quite sure about the need for that last bit.
There’s also space for two Super73 e-bikes to be mounted on the back, and we’re loving the outdoors-spec forest green and beige colour scheme.

Full-Size Ford F-150 Lightning Lego Replica Took 1,600 Hour to Create
The big blue electric truck will be on display at Legoloand in Florida.
Folks just cannot get off full size lego vehicles. The latest entrant into this strange world is a blue Ford F-150 Lightning, which was made by LegolandFlorida.
It was created as a display for the theme park, which is appropriate since Ford is its official automotive partner. According to the official video, it took an awfully long 1,600 hours to put together all 320,740 bricks. All in all, this big bruiser weighs in at 3,730 pounds. That may sound like a lot, but it’s only a fraction of what the actual truck weighs – 6,015 pounds.
It also has working headlights, taillights and turn signals. How sweet is that? Just like the real F-150 Lightning, the Lego recreation is also electric!
As you can see in the video, a lot of heavy design lifting was done by computer software, which is really a sight to behold. I love when things that are silly are taken so seriously.

Ford F-150 Lightning Reportedly Bricks After "Loud Pop" at Electrify America Station - Motor Trend
The driver says the Ford F-150 Lightning was totally unresponsive after plugging into an EA station.It's still the wild west of electric vehicles, with automakers like Ford rapidly developing new EVs like the Ford F-150 Lightning all-electric pickup truck and Mach-E SUV, and new companies such as Electrify America (EA) rapidly growing the charging network infrastructure.
New technology comes with new challenges, and one new Lightning pickup has reportedly encountered a big one, having bricked up after plugging into an EA station.
EV enthusiast Eric Roe, who says he owns a Kia Niro EV and F-150 Lightning, tweeted that he plugged his truck into an EA station, heard a loud pop, and then the Lightning was seemingly broken and unresponsive.

Ford F-150 Lightning gets its third price hike since launch, now starts at $55,974
Back in March, the Ford F-150 Lightning was priced starting at $39,974 for the base variant. Today, the same model can be yours for no less than $55,974. That's a $16,000 price hike in nine months, and it came in three stages.
First, in August the entry-level price jumped to $46,974. Then, in October, "ongoing supply constraints, raising material costs and other market factors" made the company issue its second hike - to $51,974. And today we're witnessing the third price increase, with another $4,000 added on top.
When the initial prices were revealed, the F-150 Lightning seemed like a pretty good deal at its base price. Now, not so much. Then again, it seems to be very popular and it's been getting a lot of orders, prompting Ford to add a third shift to its Detroit assembly plant, so until the demand cools down, the company has all the incentive in the world to just keep on hiking its prices.

Ford Increased F-150 Lightning Prices Again
This is the third increase on Ford's EV pickup in just four months.
Look. I get it. Times are tough right now, especially if you’re in the business of making things. Materials and other costs associated with making cars make it a pricey endeavor. But increasing the price of your product three times in just four months might turn some people off. That’s what’s going on at Ford, as the automaker has raised prices on the F-150 Lightning yet again.
The price increases don’t affect all models. The base Pro and midlevel XLT are seeing the increases, while the already pricey Lariat and Platinum trims don’t see an increase. Including a $1,895 destination charge and an acquisition charge of $645 (a charge that Ford Credit charges customers; essentially it’s an account service fee), a base F-150 Lightning Pro now starts at $58,514. Remember, the Pro originally started at $39,974. But as Car and Driverpointed out, the pricing now is $5,000 more since the last price increase a few months ago.

The Shelby Super Snake F-150 monster truck starts from £167,940
Clive Sutton reveals UK pricing for Shelby-made 775bhp pickup
Carroll Shelby would have been 100 years old today. To celebrate the anniversary of his birth – also known as ‘a birthday’ – official Shelby American retailer Clive Sutton has revealed prices for the wild F-150 Super Snake.
“What a way to start this special year with a big, powerful American truck,” Mr Sutton said. Indeed. The Shelby’s a monster. Officially called the ‘Shelby Super Snake F-150’, it takes the Ford F-150 as its base (obviously), and adds many, many horses.
The 5.0-litre V8 gets very supercharged thanks to Shelby’s upgrade, pushing power just north of 775bhp, matched to a 10-speed automatic gearbox. There’s a new suspension setup optimised for both on- and off-road driving replete with Fox shocks, 22in wheels and special Shelby bumpers and badges.
Naturally there’s more specialness inside courtesy of two-tone seats offset against carbon fibre trim, tinted windows and perhaps the most important modification of all – racing pedals. Perhaps the tint is to shy away from the ram-air induction vents on the bonnet, or indeed the dual stripes running the length of the F-150. Or from the fact you’re in a 775bhp V8 monster truck.

Looks like Ford is working on a hot F-150 Lightning pickup truck
A new ‘EV Performance Demonstrator’ based on the all-electric truck is in the works
There was some rather big news from Ford last week. We doubt you missed it, but just in case – it announced that it would join forces with Red Bull to return to Formula 1 in 2026.
Exciting times, but there was something else that caught our eye amongst all the fanfare. On a document that attempted to outline Ford’s ‘focused and strategic global motorsports program’ was a silhouette of an F-150 Lightning under the section populated by Ford’s other ‘EV performance demonstrators’.
Now, those others include the recent 2,000bhp Supervan 4 and the drifty 1,400bhp Mustang Mach-E 1400 to name but two, so what do we think Ford is planning for its all-electric pickup?
We’d love to see a proper jacked-up, dune-bashing Raptor version, or perhaps a slammed, bewinged F1-spec Lightning would be fun? Anyway, there’s no extra detail as of yet, so go wild with your thoughts in the comments section below folks…
