Soon...


Edit:
I'm curious what the "base" XL version will look like and offer, but I'm good at a nicely optioned XLT Sport equivalent. I've had higher trims, but that one was the sweet spot for me.

So many features are highlighted on the Ford site so definitely want to know what comes standard. If the only differentiators between the XLT, Lariat and Premium are what's included on the Ford site (trim, wheels and technology packs) then the base level models will be great deals. I like a little more comfort so I am leaning towards a Lariat...but will wait for pricing.

Well according to Car and Driver the XLT doesn't get the light bar on the tailgate, heated seats optional with no Blues Clues available. Their price supposedly is $55K, for $59K you get a base Lariat. I think Ill do that.

I really hope the base model can be ordered with the extended range and larger batteries. I’ll add leather, change my wheels and swap the grill down the road.

 

[Brian Head Yankee]

The Ford Lightning page states that extended battery is available on all trim levels.

Will the Base model be available in Canada?

 

[Sergeant Gearhead]

Does anyone think this base trim (it's going to be called XL, I just know it) will have steel wheels like the gas F-150?

Lariat is my guess at this point too.

They’ll probably say on the 24th but I bet it will.

After listening to the TFL Truck interview with a Lightning engineer it seems as if Platinum may be the way to go. I believe they said that the Platinum will only come with the extended range battery and other options I am interested in. So a Lariat+options will likely be close to the Platinum price. As long as there is an option for smaller tires then it will be tough choice.

Yea this sounds right and I am thinking the same. I am not going to pay 90k tho so I hope whatever gets it up to that price point isn't really something I needed/want lol. Hopefully the "base" platinum will have what I need.
