2023 Ford F-150 Lightning - Exclusive Ashburn New Car Discounts

After making its debut as an all-new vehicle last year, the 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning will be arriving with minor changes. The largest change is pricing for the new model year, as the 2023 Lightning is up by $12,000 for the base trim. At the high end of the trim range, pricing for the Lightning has gone up by $6,000. Ford claims that the price changes are due to supply constraints and the rising costs of materials. Other minor changes for 2023 include a 240-mile range for the Standard Range Battery pack and the addition of Pro Trailer Hitch Assist as an option to make hitching trailers easier.

Ford offers the 2023 F-150 Lightning in four trims: Pro, XLT, Lariat, and Platinum. Pricing for the 2023 Lightning ranges from $53,769 to $98,669 (with destination).

As before the EV is eligible for a $7,500 tax credit as well as applicable state plug-in rebates.

There are two available electric powertrains with the 2023 F-150 Lightning. The electric truck comes with two electric motors – one on each axle – for standard all-wheel drive. The base 98-kWh Standard Range Battery pack is good for 426 horsepower and 775 pound-feet of torque. For 2023, the electric pickup truck is now rated at 240 miles of range with the Standard Range Battery pack. The pickup truck is available with an Extended Range Battery pack that boosts power to 563 hp. With the 131-kWh Extended Range Battery, the F-150 Lightning can travel up to 320 miles.

The Pro trim is the only one that’s not available with the Extended Range Battery pack. The Extended Range Battery pack costs $21,500 on the XLT trim (after including the necessary packages) and $11,500 on the Lariat. The Platinum trim comes with the larger battery pack as standard.

When properly equipped with the Extended Range Battery pack, the F-150 Lightning can get up to 78 MPGe in the city, 63 MPGe on the highway, and 70 MPGe combined. Charge times for the 2023 Lightning vary depending on the battery pack and the amount of charge that’s left in the battery. Ford claims that the electric pickup can charge from 15% to 80% in 44 minutes when plugged into a DC fast charger. With a Level 2 charger, like Ford’s Charge Station Pro, the truck can go from 15% to 100% in as little as eight hours.

The 2023 F-150 Lightning is only available in a SuperCrew body style with four full doors and a five-foot-five-inch bed. The configuration results in a spacious amount of interior space for adults in both rows. Unlike the gas-powered F-150, the electric Lightning model has a 14.1 cubic feet of cargo space in the front trunk. The front trunk can also hold up to 400 pounds.

With the Standard Range Battery pack, the F-150 Lightning can tow up to 7,700 pounds and haul up to 2,000 pounds. The Extended Range Battery pack brings a towing capacity of 10,000 pounds and can haul up to 1,800 pounds. Towing with an electric truck can severely affect the vehicle’s range.

Even the entry-level Pro trim comes with a lengthy list of standard safety features. Pedestrian detection, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, rear parking sensors, and automatic high-beam assist are standard.

The XLT adds a surround-view parking camera and front parking sensors as standard. Moving up to the Lariat brings adaptive cruise control, lane centering assist, intersection assist, evasive steering assist, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and traffic sign recognition. Ford’s hands-free driving assist system that’s called BlueCruise is only available on the Platinum trim, as is active park assist.

The base F-150 Lightning comes standard with a 12-inch touchscreen, a 12-inch digital instrument cluster, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a Wi-Fi hotspot, Amazon Alexa, six audio speakers, Bluetooth, navigation, and multiple USB ports. The electric truck also comes with two 120-volt outlets in the bed, four in the front trunk, and two in the cab. A 2.4-kW Pro Power Onboard power supply is also standard.

SiriusXM satellite radio is standard on the XLT trim and above. Going with the Lariat brings Ford’s more advanced infotainment system that includes a 15.5-inch touchscreen, a wireless charging pad, an HD Radio, and eight audio speakers. The Lariat also comes with Ford’s 9.6-kW Pro Power Onboard system that adds two additional 120-volt outlets in the bad, along with a 240-volt outlet. The Platinum is the only trim to come with Ford’s Phone As A Key feature and comes with a standard 18-speaker audio system.

Despite being a work-oriented model, the Pro comes better equipped than other entry-level pickup trucks. On the outside, the trim comes with 18-inch wheels, LED headlights, keyless entry, a Class IV trailer hitch, a power front trunk lid, and an electronic-locking rear axle. The interior features dual-zone automatic climate control, vinyl floors, vinyl upholstery, manually adjustable front seats, and heated front seats.

The Pro is available with two major packages. The Max Trailer Tow Package costs $1,000 and adds extra cooling hardware for maximum towing capacity. It requires the 9.6 kW Pro Power Onboard system that costs $1,200.

The $1,950 Tow Technology Package includes a surround-view camera, heated exterior mirrors, forward parking sensors, Pro Trailer Backup Assist, Pro Trailer Hitch Assist, a trailer brake controller, onboard scales with smart hitch removal, and trailer reverse guidance.

On top of the Pro’s features, the XLT trim brings cloth upholstery, carpet flooring, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, power-adjustable pedals, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, under-seat rear storage, an LED light bar, running boards, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, and a center console with a fold-flat work surface.

The XLT (312A) Equipment Group costs $9,000. It includes 20-inch wheels, the Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist 2.0 system, the 9.6 kW Pro Power Onboard system, a heated steering wheel, intelligent access, a 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, LED box lighting, a power tailgate, a tailgate work surface, and a tailgate step.

The Tow Technology Package ($1,395) and Max Trailer Tow Package ($1,000) are also available.

Things get a little more upscale with the Lariat trim. It adds leather upholstery, ventilated front seats, LED cargo bed lighting, power-folding exterior mirrors, ambient lighting, rain-sensing windshield wipers, 20-inch wheels, and a power-sliding rear window.

The major package with the Lariat is the Lariat (511A) Equipment Group that’s priced at $10,850. It adds Ford Co-Pilot360 Active 2.0 with BlueCruise and Phone As A Key, a twin-panel moonroof, the 80-amp Ford Charge Station Pro, a power tilt-and-telescoping steering column, heated rear seats, rear storage, and all of the features from the Tow Technology Package. This package requires the Extended Range Battery.

The Lariat is also available with the Tow Technology Package ($1,395) and Max Trailer Tow Package ($1,000).

With features like premium leather upholstery, massaging front seats, heated rear seats, a twin-panel moonroof, aluminum and wood trim, and 22-inch wheels, the Platinum doubles as a luxury truck. It also comes with the Tow Technology Package and Max Trailer Tow Package as standard equipment.
