Ford dealers across the United States are offering significant discounts on the remaining stock of the discontinued F-150 Lightning electric pickup. With fewer than 100 new units left, buyers can find markdowns exceeding $20,000 at select locations. These deals come as Ford transitions away from the Lightning in favor of new range-extended powertrains for its full-size trucks and SUVs.
Major Discounts on Remaining Inventory
Following Ford’s decision last year to discontinue the F-150 Lightning, dealers are now clearing out their remaining inventory with substantial price reductions. For example, Brinson Ford in Corsicana, Texas has reduced the price of an F-150 Lightning XLT by $20,471 (~AUD 29,244), bringing the cost down from $65,940 (~AUD 94,200) to $45,469 (~AUD 64,956). This 31% discount makes the electric truck less expensive than the gas-powered F-150 XLT Crew Cab before any discounts.
Other dealers are also offering notable savings. Sam Leman Ford of Bloomington, Illinois has discounted their F-150 Lightning Flash by $18,000 (~AUD 25,714), lowering the price from $71,990 (~AUD 102,843) to $53,990 (~AUD 77,129). Meanwhile, Sheehy Ford of Springfield, Virginia is offering an F-150 Lightning XLT for $49,900 (~AUD 71,286), a reduction of $16,290 (~AUD 23,272) from its original price of $66,190 (~AUD 94,558).
Range Options and Pricing
Buyers looking for more driving range can find options such as the 2025 F-150 Lightning Flash at Flood Ford of Rhode Island, which offers 300 miles (~483 km) of range and is priced at $58,435 (~AUD 83,479) after a $15,000 (~AUD 21,429) discount.
For those prioritizing affordability, the F-150 Lightning XLT at Sheehy Ford provides 240 miles (~386 km) of range with four-wheel drive capability.
Competitor Comparison
The F-150 Lightning’s main competitor in the electric pickup segment is the GMC HUMMER EV Pickup, which is positioned at a higher price point. While the HUMMER EV offers a premium experience, the current discounts on the Lightning make it a more accessible option for buyers seeking a full-size electric truck.
Historical Context
Ford sold 4.4 million vehicles globally in 2023, marking a 2.3% year-over-year increase. The brand was the third best-selling automotive brand worldwide in 2024, though its ranking dropped to seventh in 2025. The discontinuation of the F-150 Lightning reflects Ford’s evolving strategy in the competitive electric vehicle market.
Why this matters
The significant discounts on the remaining F-150 Lightning inventory highlight a major shift in Ford’s approach to electric vehicles, as the company moves toward range-extended powertrains for its future trucks and SUVs. For consumers, these price cuts present a rare opportunity to purchase a full-size electric pickup at a substantial discount.
With only around 100 units left nationwide, these deals are likely to be short-lived, signaling the end of the F-150 Lightning era and the beginning of a new chapter in Ford’s electrification plans.
What this means for buyers
Buyers interested in the F-150 Lightning should act quickly, as dealer inventories are nearly depleted and the current discounts may not last. Comparing the Lightning to alternatives like the GMC HUMMER EV Pickup can help shoppers determine the best fit for their needs and budget. Those seeking a full-size electric truck at a lower price point may find this the best opportunity before Ford’s next generation of electrified trucks arrives.
