given the size and price of these beasts you might make that "wow" all caps

Poor Ford. Orders up the wazoo on almost everything they CAN'T MAKE. Just about the time they get their shit together, the recession and interest rates will cause massive cancellations.
A company run by Abbott and Costello with the Three Stooges on the Board of Directors.
When the announcement is made that they just sold to Elon, I'm out.

Wow. And a little surprising given my dealer has some super duties in stock. Must be a lot of people wanting to tow 40,000 pounds.

Yes, I know businesses love these things, especially since they can write off most of the cost.

I'm willing to bet they won't have a problem suppling $90,000 trucks, they make far more profit on those than our small trucks.

What's that like $2.5+ billion in orders?

Why are people impressed with 56,000 SuperDuty orders in a week? They got 86,000 Maverick orders in a week - and it was the 2nd year for the Maverick...
PS - just a rhetorical question. I know there's a LOT more profit for Ford in selling a SuperDuty than in selling a Maverick.
