BREAKING! Every Ford Dealership Will Be SHUT DOWN

Ford CEO Jim Farley is completely out of touch with the people who want buy their trucks. Quality continues to go down... Prices keep going up... And dealer lots are still stocked with overpriced trucks that people can no longer afford to buy. The Ford F150 has been americas best selling truck for the last 1 billion years. But recently their crown has been stolen by Chevy and GMC as they sold more trucks than ford for the first time in years. And in today's video I'm going to show you exactly what Ford is doing wrong, and why Chevy and GMC could steal all of Ford's business.

8 year loans

[@razial1000]

That's the thing. They can't afford them. What is happening now is banks are extending loans at linger terms like the gentleman above me said. You can afford 70k payment if it's stretched over 8 years. 70k before interes and down-payment would be 729 (still too high in my opinion) but over the life of the loan you're more than likely paying double 70k. If banks stopped lending at these extended rates you'd see a massive crash in the market. But you know how it goes. The government props the banks and hedge funds and other corporations to stop crashes by bailing them out and making lending standards longer My opinion is after 3 to 4 years of driving every day your gonna get screwed with a massive mechanic bill as cars inevitably wear and tear over time. The more crap the crambn into these vehicles the longer it takes to fix them and making them complicated racks up labor hours. In the end you will see at some point a major crash because this isn't sustainable.

Haggling is fun. Hard to get dealers to play the game the past few years. I thoroughly enjoy it, but I don’t go in unprepared. Sometimes it takes a week of back and forth. Best in my life was getting a 2013 F150 XLT msrp at $44k at $28k otd. Full disclosure had a 2011 ranger as a trade but it wasn’t no where near paid off. It’s really the thrill of the hunt. Most of the time I hit my mark but sometimes I miss. If it takes a week of back and forth it’s like following a blood trail into the night. But I get it, nowadays people don’t like negotiating. They’d rather just get one price and that’s it. If you don’t ask for more you’ll never know what else you could get.

You missed the XL model just bought f350 4x4 four door super duty 51k new 2024. Gave me 15k trade in. They'll work with you. Bought a 5.0 f150 last year new added wipple super charger. Can't beat the deal for what u get.

[@MotorFeed]

I didn't see an XL trims on the lot.

[@donniedye2716]

@MotorFeed so I've bought 3 new ford's in the last 3 years. Your video is correct 100% . Really good information and comparison for walking onto the lot but people also don't go to the lot to order. All three of mine I built on their site. Pick color, body trim level and options. I built my new bronco drove it 9k mile and trades it in for 14k more than I paid. I have a f150 2023 5.0 with a whipple at 725 hp all done at dealership for 48k. Just bought a 2024 f350 4x4 fx off road 4 door for 51k. Gave me 5k over what I had in trade in. Yes there are over bloated, over priced vechiles on the lot but there is also really good deals if there person knows how to work the system. Think of a dealership as a convenient store. It's what it is. A person can bypass and order directly from ford. It's pretty cool. I love you're videos . I think they're spot on. Keep up the good work.

When I was growing up, trucks were work vehicles. Nobody had one that wasnt for work, then the 70s came along and they became lifestyle vehicles, pretty girls with cowboy hats were on the pick up truck commersials, and eventually there were luxury trucks, people wanted more for their truck dollar. Now you get a truck for what you pay for your mortgage payment, and crazily, theyre still selling, for now.

[@genebaket]

If you want to sell trucks, you have to bust the UAW. These guys make way too much money clocking in that over $80-$100 per hour to support the quicker and the other manufactures go bankrupt the quicker these contracts can be renegotiated to make cars more affordable.

[@mark48430]

Recently a young woman ran into my '09 Avalanche. It was her fault. Geico wanted to total my truck. I talked them into fixing it. Thank God. I will drive it until I die even if I have to get a new motor and/or tranny and/or blah, blah, blah. The world's gone nuts and all I want to do is tend to my garden until the end, one way or the other. Thank you for a very good summary of the current state of the truck/auto industry. We're all down a rabbit hole.

[@jimoverschmidt8169]

Thing is, you can always order/buy a basic work truck for around $40k. I think ford calls it the XL and Chevy calls it a WT. this would be most comparable to the trucks of yesteryear. Don’t get me wrong. $40k is still a lot, but it’s a WHOLE lot better than the 80-100 peeps keep complaining about

You have his tax returns? So what was his gross income and taxes? That “Chevy for $730” has no meaning without also showing income.

[@outkast40]

The Dealership is the Manufacture's customers and not the consumer. This is why we always get a bad deal on vehicles . Tesla direct sales cuts out the middle man and prices are set by supply and demand . This gives Tesla the advantage of changing prices daily , where dealerships have a loan on vehicles and can't change the price much.

My wife and I just got back from a week and a half long trip from South Texas to Colorado to tour the sites and back. Along the way I noticed that every single dealership regardless of the brand was totally packed with vehicles there were no empty spots on any lot. Let me add, that I have a 2014 GMC Sierra and it’s a medium trim level truck, I bought it used two years ago. As I said, we just got back from a vacation in Colorado and over 22 miles to the gallon for the entire trip I was very impressed. And yes, it does have the 5.3 L multi displacement engine.
