Ford offers up to $15,000 discounts for F-150 Lightning

Ford brought some great news for potential buyers of its F-150 Lightning: a whopping $15,000 incentive. That's right, the electric behemoth of a truck just got a lot more affordable. If you're in the camp of "I've been considering this, but..." – now might be the time to strike.

On the 2023 F-150 Lightning Platinum trim, there's a $7,500 retail purchase incentive. And if you're thinking of leasing instead of buying, there's an equal amount available in Red Carpet Lease customer cash. But if Platinum is a bit too rich for your wallet, don't worry. The Lariat offers a $7,500 incentive for purchases, and $5,000 for those of you keen on leasing. The XLT got a relatively tame $1,500 off for both leasing and buying. Sadly the Pro model gets not discounts at this point.

The F-150 Lightning still qualifies for the full $7,500 tax credit. Even the high-end Platinum trim, priced a tad above $80,000, can see combined savings up to $15,000 and you can enjoy these perks up until January 2.

Ford's been seeing a dip in its electric pickup sales. The company managed to sell 3,503 units between July and September, which is a 45% nosedive from last year. Ford says it is not for lack of demand though and is looking to get production up and running, making up for the six-week halt, with a goal of expanding their Rouge Electric Vehicle Center.

For those of you who like a little extra spice, Ford’s not stopping at incentives. The company introduced a new "Flash" trim for 2024. It boasts 320 miles of range, a state-of-the-art tech interior, and a heat pump – all starting at a fiver under $70,000. Think of it as a beautiful mashup of features from the XLT and Lariat trims, offering the best of both worlds.
