Give you an idea of how bloated management is.

We aren't even in the offices yet.

that must explain the reason trucks cost nearly $50k or more.

Isn't Ford on schedule to phase out all passenger vehicles in American markets?

I think the Mustang is the lone exception at present.

Just trucks, vans, SUVs and commercial vehicles from here on out.

That is what I heard, which shocked me.

This was inevitable if it were true.

Some version of the Focus was going to stick around as well.

Mustang and Focus Active, though the latter was supposed to import from China, and may have been cancelled (thanks Donald)

All of the US automakers are struggling with it.

Asian sedans rule their segment. For the US makers, people want SUV's.

Crew cab 4x4 are 70k

Wow...terrible news.

Wouldnt surprise me the old Metro North Mall parking lot is full of them.

Oh shit.

AMEN.


I'd say that logic dicates the real culprit would be the Ford company, who steadfastly and constantly manufactured overpriced, yet inferior automobiles...

In ‘05 F250 Diesel crewcab cost $40,000 the equivalent to that truck today is $93,000. ‘05 has 300k on it. Daily driven and hauls a 35’ 5th wheeler all over America.

I don't think I'd go that far.

I went from a Saturn Outlook to a GMC Acadia (basically the same SUV with a different logo) and then to a Toyota Highlander before finally buying a Ford Explorer.

The Explorer is by far the nicest of the 4 and it was also the lowest in price. The Toyota was actually the most expensive and had so many defects and warranty issues that we ended up dumping it after 14 months.
