Now, the automaker is raising prices once again, according to reports from CNBC. The new price will be $55,974 – this is an increase of about $4,000 over the previous price.

When the truck was first launched, it made a splash with the under $40k base selling price. Doing the math shows an increase of approximately 40% from the original MSRP of $39,974 Ford announced in May of 2021.
