Ordered within 2 hours of announcement and just received my truck on 1-25-23. Kinda wanted a 40k pro but ended up with a 62k xlt. To be honest IDGAF. This truck is everything I hoped and more. Dealer tried to buy it back at signing I'm so glad I bought it. I called it Best life in the app because that's exactly how it feels.

I wanted a Pro too. Had to order an XLT. Because of the price difference the only options I ordered were the tailgate step and 9.6 pro power. I also ordered it in Iconic Silver. My truck is expected to deliver Jan 30-Feb 5. I’m anxious, nervous and excited all at the same time. I’m depending on a fair trade offer for my Lariat. They have me by the balls. Low ball me, they make good money if I accept it. If I walk away they make good money. With interest rates being what they are too I’m preparing myself to walk away anyway. I love the Lightning. But I’m not going to be stupid about it. All this stress could’ve been avoided if I’d been able to order a $40k Pro.

@Conan.zap I’m sorry. I kinda “brought the room down” with my whining and complaining. Congratulations on your truck. If you get an opportunity post a picture. I’d love to see it.

Congrats. Same boat, initially wanted a Pro but with initial delivery estimates at fall 2023 went for the xlt. Can’t be happier.

Congrats on your new truck, best of luck with it.

They scammed that delivery estimate. I saw the same but stuck with the Pro because Fall 23 was fine me and then it arrives Fall 22!

All good. I've been so stressed since I received a delivery date. It's a huge investment. Fortunately the moment I drove it off the lot nothing but bliss. I sold my vehicle prior to delivery because I didn't want to fight with the dealer. However it washes out you will love that truck.

It all depends on what state you live in. I live in NJ with no sales tax on EV purchases so I was able to take my trade in to different dealers around the area to get the best price for my trade in since I didn’t need to worry about the trade in value reducing my taxes paid on the new Lightning since it’s zero taxes anyway. Ford offered $3,000 less for my trade in then the highest offer so I sold it to the dealer down the street right after I bought the Lightning and get my first few month payments free
