Deal Check 2025 Ford F-150 Lightning XLT

Virginia 20141

Long time lurker, first time posting

Received this deal,

the 12k in incentives looks right, but the discount on the truck and lease monthly amount $527 dont when I use the calculator, what do y’all think/see?

Dealer Processing of $995 and Acquisition rolled into the $527 per dealer. Thank you in advance!

I just signed on the same truck. Sticker was $67,060. 36 months/10,500 miles, $0 down. $498/m. Taxes in Texas are 6.25%. Rolled those in. A buddy just got an even better deal. I think his sticker was $67,900. Same terms and $468/m. Did mine yesterday and his was at the end of February.

Congratulations, thats a good deal and what I am looking for, what were the rebates and discount on the truck like?

The latest, dealer insisting I pay the full term of personal property taxes upfront for Virginia. How do they even know what they will be? Sounds like a scam.

Reach out to thunder broker on here. This deal being quoted looks high.

Awesome will do. Thank You

Seconding Thunder (now Lightning Auto)! Great to work with. Probably can beat this even in VA.

400s in their latest listing for XLTs plus VA tax difference should be better

@LightningAuto

Just reached out thanks to you both!

The best play here is to find a lease to take over. They pop-up pretty frequently. Like this one:

But isn’t VA just like MD (me) where he’s gonna have to pay the tax on the full $90k there (being a Plat) on top with less months to spread it across than a new 36/mo option?

Or is it different in VA on takeovers?

I thought the same for a long time (I’m also in md), then I was shown the light.2025 F-150 Lariat extended range battery USD 791 pm - #3 by Art2

That works on an MD to MD or VA to VA transfer.

In this case where it’s PA (monthly tax) to VA (full tax), they’re gonna owe the full tax when they go to register in VA (or MD).

Otherwise everyone in MD/VA would be better off having someone else lease whatever they want in a monthly state and then just transfer them all out for a fee instead of paying tax. Would be cheaper than leasing in MD and no way that MD/VA gonna pass up getting their cut.

Try Bob Bell ford in Maryland. Got an XLT from them not long ago for a great deal. Their advertised discount is better than this quote

I traded my XLT with a $298/mo payment, you could add alot of taxes and it will still be cheaper than going with this XLT. There are more competitive truck lease programs, and there are better EV trucks. At these numbers why not just go with a gas F-150, the STX trim may even be cheaper, considering that Ford is walking away from the Lightning platform.

I drive 30/35 k miles a year, so electric is better for costs for sure

The XLT is just about the worst EV to try and do 30K miles a year. Small battery (98kw), slow charging rate (L2 peaks under 150kw) and terrible efficiency (1.5 mi/kwh or worse at highway speed). Your will have to full charge something like 170 times a year. Almost every other day. Nevermind mileage cost.

Lease is not going to work for you with 30k miles a year.
