Thanks to a whopping $10,500 customer incentive bundle, you can currently lease an F-150 Lightning for just $249 a month for 36 months—*and* you'll get a home charging setup installed to boot. The new incentives were [spotted by *CarsDirect*](), who noted that the price matches a current promotion for the [Tesla Model 3](), albeit with a caveat. Well, 6,809 caveats—and by caveats, we mean the dollars you'll have to put down if you want the advertised lease rate. That's nearly twice the up-front spend to get Tesla's $249/month deal, though the Lightning is a literal pickup truck rather than a sedan, and [the Cybertruck ain't exactly that affordable yet](). If you'd like a non-EV for comparison, either of these vehicles would still be less expensive to lease than a [2025 Honda Civic](). This is far from the first time we've seen Ford offer discounted Lightning leases. Back in May, the automaker had [more than $15,000 in incentives available]() on the big-ticket Platinum model. In July, it offered a $452/month deal that [made the Lightning cheaper to lease than some variants of the Maverick]()—the company's smallest truck and least-expensive model, period. *CarsDirect* adds that conquest cash available to current Ram and/or Tesla owners could make this latest deal even sweeter. These aggressive moves will help keep inventory flowing as Ford ramps up 2025 F-150 Lightning production. Ford [idled the facility that builds the Lightning back in October]() to allow dealers the chance to clear out existing backlogs. Production was scheduled to restart in January. Ford has also been pushing back the production timelines of its next-generation trucks. In August, Ford said the second-generation Lightning had been delayed until 2027, while the next-gen gasoline and hybrid F-150s are now also due to arrive a year late, in [2028](). *Got tips?
