Ford's popular electric pickup truck,video lucah budak sekolah the Ford F-150 Lightning, is now more affordable.

While this is good news for potential buyers, it's worth noting that the prices are still higher than what they were at launch in May 2021; the F-150 Lightning originally started at $39,974.
Like many other manufacturers, including Tesla, Ford kept hiking the prices of its EVs throughout 2021 and 2022 as it battled through supply chain issues. Now, however, the company says the greater capacity at its Rouge Electric Vehicle Center factory, as well as lower raw material costs, are among the factors that enabled it to reduce the price of the truck. Upcoming competition, including from Tesla's Cybertruck which just went into production, is probably another reason why Ford is making its electric pickup more affordable.
