couple questions:

1. when does the 2023 MY reservation start?

2. if you reserve via ford directly does dealer still charge markup when you picking up your truck?

thanks in advance. I’m a newbie when it comes to ordering F150 Lightning.

Welcome! However, I have some bad news...

You will not get MY 23. Period. Reservation system has been closed since Dec and no one know when they will reopen. You need to get in a reservation, and then maybe you can get a 24, but more likely 25 depending on how demand holds and production ramping up.

Markup is by dearer. Ford wants MSRP from dealers, but they are not bound in any way. We have a list of no ADM dealers; those are the ones you want.

thank you for the info. I guess I was mistakenly thinking there’s a reservation period for each model year. So basicalky ford allocates production to a reservation pool, the model year of your truck varies depends on when you get your truck? I’m I. Orange County CA, what arethe dealers in the area don’t charge markups for ordered f150 lightning?

That is about right.

ADM/No-ADM Dealers (the naughty and nice list)

Performance Ford in Randolph NJ wants $5k ADM.

With no reservation, your only option for a 2022 or 2023 Lightning will be to purchase one from a dealer that was either:
1. An ordered truck the customer did not buy
or
2. A dealer demo

While most dealers are sticking with the MSRP for orders, ADM is fair game for vehicles they sell off their lot. That includes either of the two options above.

Orange County is especially bad for ADM based on the naughty/nice list. You are probably best off looking nation-wide and planning to fly out to pick up a truck.

Otherwise, wait for reservations to re-open. That will probably be MY 2024.
