Folks, my Ford dealer sent me a price protection check for 5K. When I bought my Lightning Pro, I paid the MSRP which was 5K over my order price. After 9 weeks, I got my 5K check today. So, if you paid above your order price due price hikes and were covered by the price protection plan, you will likely get a check from your dealer couple months after the purchase. I had little confidence that I would see the 5K after purchase but it came along. Don't lose hope

Great! Did you purchase a price protection plan when you ordered the truck? I think Ford raised the price of my XLT about 4k after I ordered it on Sept. 7. I can't recall getting any notice, but I did find an "order update" email with no description - maybe that was it? Is Ford trying to sneak the price increase through? I will bail out on the order if any price increases were made post order. As a business owner when I get a contract, that's that. Rivian tried this move and it cost them dearly.

The 5K increase was only for Pro (base) model hence the protection was only for Pro model. Not for XLT model. As far as I know, you pay the order price that you will see in your Ford Account. Ford sticks with its price that it agreed. You can confirm with your dealer.

I just took delivery of my Lightining Platinum, I ordered it in 2021, well before the price increase. When I sat down with the finance guy he told me the VIN had a $6k rebate attached, I was pleasantly surprised but: I dont have the power running boards I ordered. The boards are super cheap feeling and ill positioned. The vehicle does not have scales. Its a nice truck - it drives like a dream, but at $96k MSRP it lags the GMC Denali Ultimate in luxury - but its not burning gas.......

Good deal. It is too bad they didn’t just take it off at the time of the deal like they should have.
