Ford Says That Dealers Can Decide Whether F-150 Lightning Owners Can Sell Within A Year | Carscoops

Lightning’s popularity has continued to remain white-hot long after the first deliveries took place earlier this year. Even before that, we reported on a policy that limits Lightning customers from selling or otherwise transferring ownership of the truck to another person for a year from the date of purchase. Now, we’re finding out that it’s actually up to the dealer whether or not that policy is put in place.

What this means is that Ford dealers requested this policy, not Ford itself, and it makes it seem as though dealers really don’t want customers to have the chance to buy and flip their own trucks for a profit. In other words, they want to be sure that they don’t miss out on the biggest cut possible. At the same time, it’s also clear that some dealers aren’t requiring any such contract to be signed.

We should also point out that the original bulletin to dealers said “In order to prevent the re-sale of 22MY F150 Lightning, Ford is offering support for a No-Sale Provision to be signed by the customer at the time of purchase. Dealers may add this language to existing closing forms or create a new standalone document” so it was never a hard requirement. Ford was simply providing a little support to the dealers who requested it.
