This is all speculation. There is nothing posted on FMCDEALER which is the dealer portal that gives you news and updates on every product and service from Ford. I just pulled the 463 page order guide and even that does not have any of the information with the lightning.

I sure hope that's true, but I will take it with a grain of salt.

 

[Spade312]

Sooner rather than later is preferred with me as well while most of us can take advantage of our trade ins being inflated!

Wow a 2006 Ram to an electric F-150! Do you plan to trade as well?

 

[FinalStar]

Not sure a dealership would want my truck. I have make modifications to it over the years. Auxiliary Battery with in cab power, aftermarket air intake, lumber rack. Probably need to do a private sale. But I am looking forward to the inflated price. I bought my truck used over 10 years ago for 20k and it's worth about 14k now. It's insane.

 

[Spade312]

Lord oh mighty. I hope you can get every dollar. Love the Gir pic btw.

 

[Spade312]

Confirmed

 

[kylightning]

Called my dealer and they confirmed as well.

 

[FinalStar]

Same. Now the question. Should I even go to my dealer or should I just order online?

How do they decide which car to make first? Hypothetical: Person A reserved on the day the truck was announced but did not convert reservation to an order until Nov. 1. Person B reserved in September but converted reservation to an order as soon as the order bank opened. Which truck gets built first?

 

[MacMerritt]

I would imagine they go by reservation order so long as your order is in before X date. That way people have say a month or two to order without sacrificing their place in line.

I'll be posting the full build sheets as a PDF when it becomes available.

I would highly suggest once it becomes available to download/print it and do your own building. Then go into the dealership when you have your build completed with any remaining questions.

That helps you avoid sitting at the dealership having to see the sheets for the first time and feeling rushed.

 

[FinalStar]

Hell yah, thanks!

My dealer is saying the October 26th date hasn't been confirmed, and they don't have anything from ford on how the process will work. I also read this article: Ford F-150 Lightning Orders May Not Start Until 2022

I assume we will need to wait another week or so to see what happens.

Welcome @AB852! Information is so hit and miss between dealers so fingers crossed it ends up being true. Which Lightning model are you looking to get?

Not 100% sure yet. Leaning towards Lariat +, but once I add power steps, towing assistance, and max towing package, I'm at $80,000 How about you?

Tell your dealer to look in locator. What has come out is that Ford is telling dealers to have their pricing set by the 26th so that they can roll out the builder which will then allow customers to submit further information to dealers and dealers can have their pricing set up so it is a streamlined process.

Deliveries of the actual vehicles is not slated until spring and honestly that may mean the month of May if we are lucky, next year.

 

[RDale]

Just in case we needed more confirmation that the 26th is when the order banks will open!

When was this information pulled from Ford? I understand the table for the Lightning now says TBD.
