That's before all the add-on's and dealership mark-ups. A friend of mine has a 2022 F-150 Raptor he paid nearly $130k for. I doubt you would walk out paying anywhere near $90k

It's a nice truck, he takes it off roading. He also has a reservation for a Cyber Truck, so I'm guessing money is no object

Lightning is cold. Easily can be had for msrp or less. They aren’t selling.

What he said.

This Motor Trend drivel sure hasn't aged well from just last year:

Ford knew its F-150 Lightning electric pickup truck would be one of history’s most significant vehicles, and it didn’t miss.

Given the undying popularity of trucks in America, it's hard to understate how important it was for a segment leader like Ford to absolutely nail the electric pickup. If the Lightning were terrible, it could have set the industry back years—or worse. Instead, Ford has risen to the occasion and built a great pickup truck that also happens to be a great EV, and just to be sure, it engineered clever charging functionalities, too. The Lightning is the truck we needed, right when we needed it.

I was referring to the traditional ICE F-150, not the Lightning, which actually have markup's listed on the dealership website I was looking at

Look at more dealers, F-150s are not hard to get at a fair deal. Quickly become a buyers market.

I think you might be misunderstanding, I'm not in the market for a Truck. In fact I won't be in the market for a car until 2025 when my lease is up on two of my cars. But I totally appreciate the heads up

On another note, not sure if this was posted, but this is a better, more detailed review of the cyber Truck:

Lightning "One of history's most significant vehicles..."

I've heard some whoppers in my time but that takes the cake.

That aged very badly.

I don't recommend the review by Marques Brownlee he's usually good but seemed way out of his depth talking Cybertruck. Hagerty vid is bueno.

I feel like most people dismiss the Lightning without driving it. Pickup drivers are very set in their buying habits to put it mildly.

Glad those of us who have less money than you paid for your discount on your $90,000 truck.

They can barely give them away here.

They are not selling, not meeting projections, that's a fact. How many total are sitting on lots again??

"The most significant vehicle in history" or one of them, is a dud--- and a snail could have predicted it.
