Long McArthur is charging $2500 over MSRP, or about 10% markup. That is very fair. But marking up a vehicle 42% should be against the law. If dealers want to sell their vehicles for $6K over MSRP, let them sell them to auctioneers.
I sell boilers that cost 2x or 3x as much as a loaded Lariat...
The dealers are getting some vehicles in stock. I got an email today from a local Ford dealer with an XL that came in for sale. I haven't had time to look at what they are charging but I guess we should be paying attention...
They did not add any options either. Unfortunately, someone with more money than sense will pay that shark price. And then other dealers will start increasing their ADM. We will eventually need MMSRP Maximum MSRP!

Look at a video where someone removes the orange or tan tray. It is beneath the removable tray.
I saw one video where the cover was removed and there was a USB connection below the location for the charging pad. You may be able to connect any charging pad. I don't know the Ford part # for the factory charging pad.
This makes you think about MY22 filling up on Hybrid by November. Those vehicles will be built by summer 22? They aren't taking any more Hybrid orders until then... I wonder if my July 19 order will get produced by year end.
I am glad I ordered a Hybrid early - they are in demand, much more than...
Sounds like one or more of the drive axles? I am not sure about the Ford but my Audi made that fatal clunk when turning a corner. The drive axles were beat and had to be replaced. It had a lot of miles (200K) so they were shot. That Audi still runs great with 325K on it - almost time for new...
