  • What Is Ford Doing? Ford is LOOSING IT! Tons of Vehicles - Revenue Is Down & The Prices are Crazy
    In this video, we delve into the recent turmoil in the automotive industry, focusing on the Ford market and the unprecedented surge in car prices across the board. The automotive sector has been rocked by a series of events, from supply chain disruptions to shifting consumer preferences, leading to significant impacts on Ford Motor Company and the broader market.
    I explored a dealership locally and was absolutely amazed at the prices of some of these cars they have on the lot. $95,000 for a Lariat now? Come on that is insane! Not too long ago, a fully loaded Limited was at that price, now you can't even get an XLT for $70,000.
    Join me as I go through some cars here and show the crazy prices and explain a little as to the current state of the automotive market and what it means for both industry insiders and everyday car buyers. Don't miss out on understanding this critical moment in the automotive industry

    here in the US, Chevy has outsold Ford for the Month of march april.. Chevy's prices are high too, but they are lower than Ford... Ford was doomed when they bowed to the UAW and agreed to pay out more inconjunction with the EV flop, they want you and I to pay for their mistakes.

    A little insight for you respectfully. If you went into the dealership, they would tell you that prices inflated during the pandemic driving sticker prices up no doubt, but incentives have become HUGE! I just purchased a 2024 Lariat 502A Powerboost etc, etc in Toronto with that similar sticker price but paid NOWHERE near that. If you were legitimately in the market and shopping you would know that.

    • @6ixthGear
      @6ixthGear  4 місяці тому

      I agree and know for sure that you don’t have to pay sticker, since being in Toronto, there’s a lot more dealers and more competition so people are fighting tooth and nail for a buck and a deal, but where do the sales people make money when you give all of that gross away?
      Even if you got $5000-$10,000 and were around the $85,000 price tag, the price of the truck is still overinflated compared too them being around the $70,000-$80,000 fully loaded before.
      Personally I would still hold off until rates come down and incentives are around the $10,000-$15,000 like they used to be in some months throughout the year, but depends on if incomes can keep up with these prices I presume!

    I would never buy anything with Turbos... I had a 2016 EcoBoost 60k miles and 2 engines... Engineering or general Public don't know how Hot Turbos get.
    They get to1,875 degrees Fahrenheit. They're mounted 1/8 of an inch and no Heat Sheild between them, or Turbo Blancket..
    In California Minimum Wage went from $8.50 10 years ago, 5 years Ago it was $15 per hour, and April 1, 2024 Minimum Wage in all of California Food Workers $20 per hour... I have footage of Bronco Raptor at $130,000
    F150 Raptor R are from $209,000 to $130,000. Last year there was 1c and it was $260,000.
    Truck here Start at $90,000 and go to $130,000 and up.. I have footage on all of this.

    I am looking for a truck at the moment. I went to a Ford dealer to try out their selection and dude...let me be honest. Ford, as it currently runs, produces nothing but plastic garbage. I drove a F150 XLT with the 2.7L Ecoboost. I already hated driving it, but after seeing the sticker at $69,700? I had to laugh.
    Wanting $70k for a truck that feels like it was made by Fisher-Price is a joke.
