With rising costs for raw materials, Ford Motor Co. announced on Tuesday that it would increase the price of its electric F-150 Lightning truck. The price rise for the 2023 F-150 Lightning, according to the company, would range between $6,000 and $8,500 depending on the version, with the least expensive Pro model now costing around $47,000.
The price increase won’t affect truck orderers who are waiting for delivery, according to Ford. Based in Dearborn, Michigan Ford stated last month that it anticipated a $4 billion increase in commodity costs this year and would make up the difference by boosting prices.
