Ford, who makes the #1 selling vehicle in the US for the last thirty years, is famously bad at making vehicles that people want. People waiting three years for a Bronco definitely support your conclusion. People buying Raptors with $10k, $20k, $30k markups is all the evidence you need.
Why wont...
Toyota is doing the same thing. First just because they were making a lot doesn’t mean they were making all they could. The fact that there were still six month waiting lists proves that. Second, have you seen the pricing on the new Tacomas? They’re doing exactly what I said. Lower volume...
You cancelling your order is on you.
Ford answers to the CEO, the CEO answers to the shareholders. Those are the only people that matter. Occasionally, performing well for customers and dealers also brings in profit for the shareholders. That’s the only time any company cares about customers...
I’ll spin it another way:
“Ford is making so many desirable vehicles they’re having trouble keeping up”
This is the new normal by the way. Every manufacturer is doing the same thing. They realize they didn’t have to race to the bottom on price and make it up through volume. Every manufacturer...
Yes it’s an option but he also has console seats and the STX is an upgrade package. There are levels below that. For instance a work truck XL does not have the flow through console. It just depends what trim and what packages you order.
No it’s the same meaning across all Fords. Across all cars.
Rear air comes on the higher trims of the F-150s. The higher trims also have flow through consoles. The lower trims have bench seats and column shifters. They do not have rear air. It’s quite straightforward.
You can believe me or not...
These probably aren’t coming for a while. Another dealer was saying that Ford was forcing Ranger listings on their website and they had no control over it.
A “flow through console” doesn’t refer to the A/C but rather how the center console flows from the dash all the way through to the back. It means there’s no footwell in the space between the front driver and passenger. In the F-150 you have two options. Either a flow through center console or...
Check in your state to see if a non-refundable deposit is even legal.
My dealer charged me a 1% non refundable deposit but when I bought my full size they handed me the check back even though they said they wouldn’t.
Order date has no bearing on scheduling. Based on what orders h
1-3 can only be assigned by Ford and are given in special circumstances for escalation.
Priority numbers also serve as a mechanism dealers can you to keep you on the hook. They can tell you your order has a low priority code and...
...And got a full size Raptor!
I ordered a Ranger Raptor in May to switch from a company fleet Malibu to a reimbursement program. That company lease was set to expire in September. Fleet would not extend my lease any further so I ended up looking for other options since my Ranger Raptor was...
It only works on small cell batteries. And EPA and NHTSA restricts fumes from coming up through the filler neck, there’s a valve. Shouldn’t be an issue.
Securicode is for when you don’t want to carry your fob. Think about going for a run or a bike ride, or going to the beach or the lake. Half the time I use it it’s because I need to get something out of the back seat but the key is inside. Saves a trip. It’s the best $99 you’ll spend as far as...
You rebuild them per factory specs. However there is a company called SDI that has a system called E-Click that is a separate unit to control the behavior of the electronic needle valves. They can load profiles for different preferences you may have while out in the desert. It’s overkill if...
