I’m just amazed how many people can read something and have no idea what they just read.

The price increases are mostly for the bells, whistles, tambourines and ukuleles.

Do you have any idea when ford will fix the radio problems
What radio problems? We picked up my Wife’s XLT AWD on 12/23 and didn't notice any issues. But she only put a little under 50 miles on it so far. By the way, she loves it.

Did not order the sunroof on my xlt hybrid. Hard to see how it was worth $800 for benefit it offered. Guess come Monday that match changes. Besides, does it actually tilt?

$1000 for that sunroof is not worth it. Hell, not sure the $800 I paid for it is worth it either.

This is nothing. No doubt 2023 will see at least a $1k jump on all base prices.

I for one need every discount and this truck is already at the top of my budget. I ordered before so i can still budget but some people down playing this is depressing and the willingness to pay more hurts those that are already living on a minimal budget. This is not only for vehicles but everything. But good for you all that dont have to worry about these things.

This price increase makes me happy I ordered a Lariat in June. (Hybrid, Cyber Orange, Lariat + Lariat Lux + Sunroof + Co-pilot 360). Ordering it post 12/25 would have cost me an additional $1090. This will also help those who decide to sell their new vehicle, as the MSRP on ordering will now be higher.

I'm not trying to get political here, but we had a lot of years of "relatively" benign inflation. (Before anyone @'s me, I put relatively in quotes because I think the official inflation numbers understate inflation.) Regardless, in that environment the mentality is to wait vs. buy, that next years model (whether it be a phone, car or whatever) will have improvements worth waiting for and that the pricing will be similar and that there will be plenty of supply (i.e. a buyers market).

Over the last year, inflation has raised its very ugly head. The "experts" have told us it is due to supply constraints and that it (inflation) will be "transitory". When they first started with that, all I could do was laugh (and swear). While there may have been supply issues, we are now transitioning psychological to expectations of higher prices. When you believe prices will be higher in the future, you buy NOW instead of waiting. Gold old John Maynard Keynes described this as one of the characteristics of "demand-pull inflation". (Two other causes are Government spending - which we've certainly seen lots of and more money in the system, i.e. increases in money supply - which has been done in huge amounts since COVID.)

The above is why I decided not to wait, and when the opportunity to jump on a 21 Bronco Sport Badlands at MSRP came up (pre-22 price increases), I went for it.

At some point the supply issues with new vehicle production will ease. I know this is hard to hear, but higher prices will help that (it will bring new supply over time, including from other makers who see the gold mine Ford has found with some of their new vehicles.) In the mean time, I'm guessing (and betting) that prices in general will continue to go up (not transitory), somewhat due to demand-pull.

Sitting here wondering how people who clearly cannot read and/or comprehend plain english can hold down a job to get money to buy a new truck.
