Ford's 2025 annual income was $187.3 billion with a B. However, there was an 11 billion loss on the books. Regardless, the pay of top officers is minuscule (the CEO's is 0.014% of Ford's income) compared to revenue. So decreasing the CEO's pay isn't going to make a dent in the average worker's...

I have the cloth on the now disappeared "high" package but do know there are several problems with the leather seats and QC. Not sure about the stitching however. Hopefully Ford doesn't give you a hard time about "wear and tear" excuses. It's obvious from the picture the seat is not seen much...

Looks like a good deal to me. Depreciation is going to happen regardless. With this deal, you're $10k ahead of the depreciation on Ford's ridiculous price adjustments for the last two years.

People aren't buying Tundras because they have significant engine issues. Not sure what the actual percentage of units are affected but I wouldn't roll the dice on the Toyota turbo V6 right now and I love my still ticking 2007 Tundra.

Inexcusable to not reply until order cancellations are requested. It's not that hard to ask for good communication and relatively reasonable turnaround times. If you cannot deliver a non-custom order, don't accept the order. Put a pause on taking new orders and deal with your backlog. It looks...

I can't even build my 2023 High Package, cloth seat Wildtrak anymore. But maybe at least $10k more if I was able to build apples to apples.

Toyota with limited production, probably by choice, and a big following. These things will sell before they hit the lot and with an ADM for the first 6-12 months. Like the turbo change to the Tundra, I would wait to see if there are post production gremlins that show up prior to buying. I do...

Instead of laying off factory workers they are sending completed Broncos back to the front of the factory, disassembling them, then rebuilding. This keeps all shifts busy.

These are vehicles that are bought for more than basic transportation. Nobody is cornered the rice and bean market and manipulated things so people can't find work, food, transportation and shelter. If someone is dumb enough to buy a flipped Hummer EV at 200-300% over list then I hope they had...

As quality and craftsmanship get to a certain level, then the scale of economics goes exponential. For example, you can buy a speaker to get you 95% of your listening needs for $100. The last 5% that get you to 100% will cost you 5-10x that amount. I think a lot of people are looking for value...

I had rain sensing wipers on my 2008 GX470 that worked well without a hiccup on a 15 year old car. I shake my head that the Bronco doesn't have them. Not a big deal in Texas, but come on Ford.

If you have a lot of deer or feral pigs, this would be ideal. To each their own and I have a pair of the Hooke Running Boards but this comes to mind....

I know what accessory I'm getting if the world goes Mad Max. :D

Then let me dumb it down for you. The two are competitors in that automakers that are all competing to put Americans into vehicles . They aren't cross shopped directly, but you aren't being honest about Ford's inability to produce and deliver a product efficiently. And without tariffs against...

Insane. Ford just needs to fess up they can't do the special units and orders as your case is not unique. Honda gives you a certain model with certain trim levels and you get to choose color and if you want floor mats, wheel locks and a trunk liner. It's efficient at the cost of customization...
