2023 F150 Lightning XLT
I went on a Jimmy John's dinner run last night which is right across the street from my local Ford dealer. I happened to see some vehicles in colors I haven't seen so I strolled over to check the names on the colors in person to prep for my upcoming order(fingers crossed) only to find they received their demo Lightning Lariat ER. The dealer is allowing test drives it was everything I was hoping and more. I plan on ordering an XLT SR I want to see one in person but it seems as though are only getting higher tiered trims. I called my next closest dealer they have a Platinum (has not arrived) which I was told it's already sold for 110k to family friend of the dealer after the 6 months expire. Another dealer told me no demo units have been released in the country they're still in testing at factory lol FAKE NEWS ?

Even the family friend gets 20k+ dealer markup? Ouch!
