I made a few hundred dollars on the stock options today. I watched $2 dollars go to $90 in 1 minute end of day expiration. Blows my mind. Wish I wasn’t out at that time I witnessed it
It will be the customer.
Going to depend on a lot of factors. Bad dealers will probably try to tack it on whether the car entered the country before the tariffs were applied or not (some of them are doing "market adjustment" markups anyway). I don't know if Ford will offer support to the dealers, might depend on the amount involved. We'll have to see how things shake out if it happens.
right, and this was released at the same time as the maverick was. so both companies were planning on them for a while. guessing everyone else was taking a 'wait and see' approach to see if the cruz and mav sold out or bombed out. now that they are selling well maybe we'll see some competition, but it still will be a few years out. but then again with the way the world is going right now maybe it's not worth their efforts. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Ford was rather surprised when they found that while many bought the pure base XL at 21K, many other were more than happy to lump on the options and upgrades and pay high 20s/30s$. The answer is more dependent upon if you're an XL buyer or a premium buyer - XLers might tolerate another 1000 or so, those who are already good with spending 30-40K - eh a few hundred/thousand increase is no big deal
Ford seems to give XLs lowest priority for production, though.
I think most people bought XLT and Lariat (and Tremor now). XL being the base trim is probably the fleet special.
Probably more profit in highest trims

Many think similarly, but there seems to always be someone willing to pay.
they make them the least $ but they do still make them. If it wasn't for the overwhelming majority jumping in and paying for upgrades Ford might have held back some of the price increases but now that they know there are plenty who are willing to pony up big dollars for an upgraded version they just jack the prices up whenever they want.
This is The Internet, stop using logic and reason where it doesn't belong.
This is the biggest thing I want to know is if tarrifs get added to these trucks, is it those that havent entered the country yet? Or any that hasn't been sold? The lariat that I ordered is sitting in the railyard 15 minutes from me and probably won't be delivered for another week. There's a XLT that I could buy today with the Lux Package and co pilot. I'd rather have the Larait, but if tarrifs get involved then i'm fine with the XLT
