Since I got skipped over on the last batch of orders at the start of the year I've put some more thought into it and kept swaying on either not ordering a Lightning at all, or just ordering the Pro and living with it.

The price difference between the PRO and XLT just doesn't seem to make much sense to me in a value aspect, has there been a detailed break down on the exact differences in the interior between the two?

Or is it $13k for carpet, a leather wrapped wheel, non heated cloth seats, rear defrost and body colored bumpers? I feel the wheel and carpet can be replaced for about $1k, and maybe do a Katzkin swap on the seats for what, $1k-$2k?

Or am I completely off-base here and should seek a therapist?

The base Pro is probably the best value vehicle available today. It's hard to argue against it.

I was thinking the same. To fully do the Katzkin thing (front & rear with door panels) is probably about 4K.. but still!
Rear defrost is a bit of a hassle...
The Pro has all the techie/geekie stuff I would really want, and I prefer the 12" landscape screen to the 15" portrait one..
The only biggie is the battery range, and I'm betting that all kinds of 3rd party solutions are going to come up for that one now that a Big 3 maker is solidly in the game

Just my $0.02

You are seeing 100 years of Ford marketing expertise with the MSRP’s. They know their buyers and have this area down to a science.

Ford knows the average family is not going to consider the $40k Pro as the family truckster because of its “strippo” nature. That leaves families going at least one trim level up to the $54k XLT. Yes, that’s another $14k please.

Oh, your family demands leather seating? Now your spending another $13k to get into a $67k base model Lariat model with the SR battery pack.

You want a 2023 because all 15k 2022’s are spoken for? That will most likely be another $2k - $5k.

Yes, Ford is making a profit on every Pro that it sells thanks to using virtually the same aluminum body as the ICE F150. This came straight from a Ford executive.
