It won't make a tremendous difference, but EVs do not ever use the entire quoted capacity. Often only around 80% is available before the battery management system will cut you off.
Agreed, Ford has to compromise based on what people want and expect. The wheel tire and axle carrying capacity should be in excess of the factory GVWR. If that is the case, the aftermarket should provide higher capacity components at the expense of unloaded ride quality and flex. I am sure that...
Isn't this an opportunity for dealers that were not committed to start trying to attract local customers? There has to be a dealer in New England that wants to copy Steven's model. I never cared about under invoice pricing, just wanted to understand the deal. For what it is worth, I have had...
This 100%, which is exactly the reason I decided to change dealers. Had i known I would have until Jan to make the decision my local dealer would have had more time to communicate their intentions. If anyone should be upset with Ford it should be their dealer network. But to be fair, if a dealer...
Ford had stated that the last date for changes was Oct 31st right? Are you shaming me for being proactive? Did you not see what a S show the original reservation process was? How about all of the dates Ford actually hit???? Sorry, they are a big company and should be able to handle what comes...
That may be true, but other launch edition cars from other manufacturers don’t have games on pre-order. I fully support dealers who buy on risk or who are left with vehicles that people backed out of, making more profit, if it is there to make. But Mother Ford could limit pre-order sales to...
Today I switched my dealer, so I’m done. I can’t make another change. But, if you have customers who are waiting and you have provided them with nothing: no guarantee’s, no comfort and no info. It is probably time to reach out. Tell them how you are going to price things, make them feel valued...
I think where Ford is failing right now is the lead time from announcements to delivery. The bronco, mach e, tremor superduty. Its great until you cant get one. Meanwhile TRX announced and will be delivered this year. So will wrangler 4xe.
They could close the gap by announcing later, but...
Knowing the 4XE wrangler will be out maybe by the time we can place an order, and seeing raptors being marked down is starting to take a toll on my conviction.
If I can get the Bronco exactly like this, I will give up my FE and purchase whatever combination I have too. I don't want to give up the SBD but if I had to I would. Hell, even if this pushes my order out 6 months that'd be fine.
