We drove a top-of-the-range 2022 Ford Lightning Platinum last year and there were very few significant changes for the 2023 model year. Our 2023 Ford Lightning Lariat had a $74,474 base price, some $7,000 more than the introductory 2022 version. Comprehensively equipped, including the optional ($10,850) extended-range (320 miles) battery package, the 2023 Ford Lightning Lariat I tested totaled $90,754 – very competitive amongst the few premium-level EV pickups available.
