Ford has gotten crazy with over pricing their vehicles. BUT, you have to ask yourself how much negative propaganda is this? How much of the price hikes are due to logistic issues, cost of fuel, and overseas production issues? None of this is being discussed. I will still take a Ford over GMC & Chevy any day and won't forget these two still need to pay back their Federal loans (which tax payers paid for) they took to save their businessess back in 2008 when Ford handled this on their own.

This raising prices has got to end sometimes. Car manufacturers are pricing themselves out of business. Most people can't buy these new cars and trucks at these ridiculous prices. And it's not only cars and trucks, it's a lot of other things people want and need, not luxury items but daily necessities. Inflation may have slowed down a bit but prices increased have become the norm in today's economy. The alternator went out on my car about a week ago. I called one of the big auto parts chain stores. They told me $260.00 for a re-built alternator. Plus I have to pay the only garage in town $135.00 an hour to install it. And $75.00 for a short tow to their shop if the car won't start. Luckily I found a new alternator for my car online for around a $100.00. I don't know if it as good but I have to take my chances. I'm 70 years old on Social Security, which is my only income. It's a struggle to keep going the way things are. Is this madness ever going to end. How much longer can lower and middle income people afford to live? Jim Farley is being paid a high salary to destroy Ford Motor Company. The man is completely out of touch with reality. They all are!

The problem is Floor Planning Interest! The longer a vehicle is on the lot the dealership has to pay interest on each unit. The more the dealership pays the more they have to pay to the bank.

ok just a blue collar guy i work out of my 2003 ford f 150 and being over 20 years old it still look good for it age the paint is failing on the roof a couple of scratches but no big dents never been wreck at all its had all general Maintenace but i have not done anything to the wheels tires or anything like that so i know its time for it to be done and i will be doing them this year like brakes that are actually the original brakes my mom owned the truck new from the dealer this is why i know all about this truck then i bought the truck off her in 2011 or 2012 because she never used the truck like a truck always washed and garage kept now it lives in the hot florida sun all day and i've owned several fords over my 50 years plus so from 1984 f250 91 ranger 1990 f 150 2001 f 150 4x4 2003 f150 and the newest ford 2014 but what i see is the price for a avg man can not afford these prices between cost of living and a car payment its unmanageable for these young adults but if ford wants to get back in the game stop doing all the upgrades from factory get out from putting sensors all over the truck make them simple again and say a guys wants it setup then offer him to go to a certain shop to have it installed by your certified mechanic to keep the warranties on the truck now if they choose to do it at a different shop or diy then void the warranties and another thing who ever you have calling for the extend warranties should stop after 5 years of the trucks age because i keep getting those calls everyday and i finally told them look are you going to work on my 20 plus year old truck

Maybe it's time Ford started looking for new management? It seems Ford has lost its way, my Lincoln is ten years old and there are no replacements for it. I am very happy with this automobile yet to replace it I will have to purchase a foreign brand. You see Ford has lost its way!

It’s not just Ford, I just saw a Chevrolet truck listed at $98,775.00 in Raleigh NC. And there were 3 of them on display in front of the showroom. I also saw a Toyota RAV4 listed on its sticker at $48,870.00 😮😮😮
