PS5 Price Hike Pushes Quick Buys Across Retailers Before April Deadline

Prospective buyers are advised to act before the April 2 deadline.

"Ford Adjusts F-150 Lightning EV Prices Amidst Rising Demand and Competition"

Ford is increasing the price of its entry-level F-150 Lightning electric pickup by $5,000, bringing it to $54,995, while also raising the price of the XLT model by $10,000. However, the company is reducing the prices of some higher-end models, such as the Platinum and Platinum Black, by up to $7,000. A new model, the F-150 Lightning Flash, has been introduced with advanced tech features. Ford has also streamlined its lineup by removing two models. Despite retaining the full $7,500 US tax credit, Ford's electric vehicle sales have been weak, contributing to a significant loss for the company in the previous year.

"Ford Adjusts 2024 F-150 Lightning Pricing, Trims Lineup"

Ford has announced price increases for certain trims of the F-150 Lightning electric pickup truck and the discontinuation of others. The entry-level F-150 Lightning Pro now starts at $57,090, reflecting a $5,000 increase, while the XLT trim sees a more than $10,000 hike to $67,090, with no option for a larger capacity battery. A new "Flash" trim has been introduced, and the high-end Platinum trim received a price cut. Additionally, Ford has reduced its production rate for the F-150 Lightning by half for 2024. Despite these changes, the F-150 Lightning remains America's best-selling electric pickup, with Ford adjusting its strategy to balance sales growth, profitability, and customer access to tax benefits.
