News Brief by Kip Hansen — 14 August 2022
The truly venerable Ford F-150 pick-up truck, America’s best selling vehicle, stands to become priced far too high for most Americans to afford.
According to a report today in the New York Times Business section, the new plug-in electric version of the F-150, the Ford F-150 Lightning, will carry a sticker price ranging from about $47,000 to $97,000 – and may have a delivery waiting period of three years.
Today’s cash price for a gasoline powered 2022 Ford F-150-XL is $33,315, while the Lightning F-150 XLT is listed at $53,000.

Dear Federal Government; Thank you for helping average Americans find life more affordable, especially those of us living on fixed social security incomes, who will no longer be able to purchase the America’s #1 Favorite Car – which happens to be a truck.

Author’s Comment:
Conflict of Interest statement: I do not own a pickup truck or a Ford. I do not own, as far as I know, any stock in the Ford Motor Company. I am; however, a native U.S. Citizen and I do vote, every election (politicians take note!).
Thanks for reading.
