Does this mean my 2022 should start being built by 10/09? Lol. I still don’t have a built date yet.

They are still scheduling 2022s, October is getting filled now…

highly doubt job #1 is happening in Oct, I’m predicting December/January

Got It. That makes sense. Thank you

Be prepared for a price hike on the 2023 model.

Not sure they can raise the price as it would put most over the 80k rebate cap.

Decontenting and shrinkflation. A simple sleight-of-hand with Charge Station Pro yields a $1310 way to move below $80k.

Really a tricky deal for Ford.....a bunch of us felt like we'd get MY '22 and were shut out. Are they really going to Jack it on us? Or take away charge station pro?

My gut tells me a 5% hike.

The above post is from the other lightning forum. It's just a rumor, but the time line and ordering seem to make sense.

Just talked to my dealer and she indicated that Ford started to reach out to reservation holders for MY23 order conversation on a select basis back in June...this seems inconsistent with everything I've read here, but thought I would share. She didn't inspire a lot of confidence and was light on specifics...I have a 5/29/21 reservation date and am starting to feel like I will be lucky if I can order before the end of the year...Ford got raked over the coals for the Bronco roll-out and would have thought that they might have made some improvements...world is crazy right now with chip shortages etc. so I don't fault them for stuff that is out of their control, just wish they were a bit more transparent with people holding a reservation...

5/19/21 reservation holder, no invite yet, hoping for August. Hard to see others "skip" the line. If TRUST is what Ford is aiming for then now it's time to walk the walk.

If you haven't already, you might want to read the rule book to understand what Ford has stated they are doing in the conversion process:

2022 F-150 Lightning Delivery Dates Updated In Dealer...

This leaked 30-page Ford dealer playbook on preparing for the F-150 Lightning order bank opening reveals some interesting info. Like how Platinum and Lariat models will arrive Summer 2022, while the XLT is set for Fall 2022 and lastly the Pro in Fall 2023. It also lists pricing that seems...

Welcome! How did you spec your Lightning?

Waiting on invite. Reserved 10.32pm 05/19/21. Should be among 1st 10,000 deliveries I hope. Probably Lariat ER, Atlas Blue & both tow packages

Any chance in seeing this in 23? It looks like the built priority is a mess and it doesn't matter when you ordered.

I think 2023 is reasonable to expect. Have you been able to place an order or are you waiting to do so?

Waiting to do so. It's an XLT

 

[jmft08]

Assume that Ford will update the build and price website for MY23 prior to opening the orders, any word on when that will be up and running or MY23 pricing released?

 

[Telugodu]

Visited a dealer today, they were super nice and told me that on average, every dealer will be allotted about 12 to 15 F150s for MY23.. not too sure how accurate it is, but if it is, then I think mine will be pushed to 2024...
