As Ford Authority reported yesterday, while the 2024 Ford F-150 Lightning lineup has officially launched and deliveries are underway, the fleet-focused Pro isn’t currently present on the automaker’s official site. This curious omission seemed to indicate that 2024 Ford F-150 Lightning Pro retail order banks aren’t currently open, and that the work-focused trim level is only available for fleets to order. Now, Ford has confirmed that this is somewhat the case, though there is one big exception.
The Blue Oval has informed Ford Authority that the 2024 Ford F-150 Lightning Pro isn’t currently available to order for retail customers, as expected, though fleet customers can place an order for one at this time. However, dealers are also able to order a limited number of 2024 Ford F-150 Lightning Pro pickups for stock purposes as well, and a quick online search shows around 200 of them currently sitting in dealer inventory across the U.S. as well.
This means that retail consumers interested in purchasing a 2024 Ford F-150 Lightning Pro will have to do so via existing dealer stock for now, and at the moment, it’s unclear when or if retail order banks may open up for that same model. Regardless, this isn’t totally surprising given the fact that, as Ford Authority previously reported, 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning Pro retail order banks didn’t open up until early August last year – some time after the rest of the lineup.
As for the rest of the 2024 F-150 Lightning lineup, it began shipping to dealers in mid-April after a bit of a delay, which was related to an issue with the EV pickup’s headlights and an attempt to clear out leftover 2023 inventory. Aside from introducing a variety of incentives aimed at doing precisely that, the Ford F-150 Lightning also received a fresh round of price cuts for the 2024 model year, too. While the Pro remains unchanged at $54,995 and the Platinum stands pat at $84,995, the XLT is $2,000 cheaper at $64,995, the Flash retails for $73,495 after a $5,500 cut, and the Lariat is $2,500 cheaper at $79,495.
