Ford Continues To Raise Its Truck Prices

Pricey Proposition

Anyone that's shopped for a new truck lately already knows that prices have risen dramatically over the past couple of years, somewhat thanks to various ongoing supply issues that have made producing new vehicles a bit of a challenge. Coupled with high demand and high-dollar features and content, buying a new truck is more expensive than ever. For 2023, Ford's truck lineup is getting pricier, too.

Dropping Packages

These aren't just straight price increases, at least, which is good news for those that don't like paying more for the same price. However, Ford is dropping its cheaper equipment groups for more than one model, starting with the XL. The entry-level trim is no longer available with the base 100A equipment group, which means that it now starts out at $35,880, $1,815 more than last year.

More Stuff

It is worth noting that the 100A-equipped XL came with essentially no modern convenience options, while the 101A package adds creature comforts that we have come to expect, such as power windows, power door locks, keyless entry, cruise control, and a reverse sensing system for that extra outlay of cash.

Trend Continues

The same trend holds true for other trims in the 2023 F-150 lineup as well, including the Lariat, which has received a price increase of $7,580, as it's dropping its 500A equipment group, making the 501A package the cheapest available option.

Moving On Up

Meanwhile, the Tremor has dropped its cheaper equipment group as well and now comes with the Coyote V8 as standard, with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 available as an option. The Limited has changed its powertrain offerings as well, offering Ford's PowerBoost hybrid as its standard choice while also getting a $6,285 price jump to boot.

Thousands More

Finally, we have the F-150 Raptor, which has dropped its cheaper 800A equipment group in favor of the fancier 801A package, which includes more luxurious amenities. However, that means that buyers will have to dish out $5,220 more for the privilege of buying one.

Relief in Sight?

With the chip shortage and various other supply chain constraints raging on and demand for new vehicles remaining strong, these trends don't figure to change anytime soon. That's obviously bad news for consumers on a budget, though with any luck, things will begin to improve as soon as next year, as many predict.
