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.

It's not just Ford. Every major American company is operating that way. Disney no longer makes a profit, because it no longer makes movies and products for kids. Ford is a car company that no longer makes cars. This is all happened in the last 4 years of Biden/Democrats being in the White, abd forcing the Woke/DEI Agenda of failure on America's companies. While leaving the borders unprotected in a time of war with Russia? Americans better wake up to this threat. America's enemies have walked into America because of the open borders. And have infiltrated the country through politics and businesses. CEO's are failing their companies, but are not removed and replaced with competent people? For years losing money? But say they will not change so the company can be profitable? They refuse to give the customers what they want and ask for? Ford is a car company, but under Farley no longer makes cars? It's happening everywhere. It's not coincidence because people like Farley are not that ignorant. Just promises of riches for selling out to America's enemies. It's too prevelant to be simply coincidence. Hopefully America wakes up or there won't be an America in a decade. America's enemies are here because of the open borders. Why wouldn't they be with no one to stop them?

[@johannjohann6523]

Since when do Salesmen at Car Dealerships not try to sell cars? It's a commission based job? Everything is becoming opposite of what it should be. And companies are going to go broke because of it. Companies no longer care about making a profit? I believe your comment sadly. Even though it defies explanation, because it is happening not at just your local dealership, but every dealership. And not just Ford but Chrysler too. Take care, and hope this madness ends soon for everyone's sake. And hope you can find ya a good slightly used truck, and save some money too. Peace.

It's the people's fault for trashing companies that were modest in the interiors and trims levels. The reason the Ford and Ram truck lineups are so abscenely expensive is because they got into a tit-for-tat to see who could come out with the most luxury focused trim with the highest price tag. Ford with the Limited trim and Ram with the Tungsten trim. Half-ton trucks that pushed prices to new record highs and every trim level below those trims jumped up in price. That's why a crappy XLT stickers for $60k and a Laramie is $65k.

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.

The new Ford Ranger costs from $90,000 in Norway. The Norwegian authorities favor anything that is electrically powered. Has large taxes and duties on large engines with petrol or diesel. The only American car brand that sells a lot in Norway today is Tesla. All sales of cars were regulated with rationing after WW2 and sales were liberalized in 1960. Chevrolet cars on Norwegian roads are the oldest of all brands, the average is over 30 years. The golden age of American cars was in the 1950s. Although there was rationing on car sales at the time. Were companies allowed to buy, also doctors, taxi owners, the church, fire and the police. Many American cars were also imported by Norwegian shipping companies in the 1950s. Norway is a neighboring country to Sweden, which is the largest market for classic American vintage cars outside of America. Almost no new American passenger cars are sold in Norway, but some pickup trucks are sold.

In a small town. I could only imagine how many a big city gets with a lot of people cruising on the highway. There is still no justified reason that an f150 in any tier should cost over 70k. Platinums with the whole package should only be 75k. Nothing more. Having it in the same price range as a lincoln navigator is nuts. Bring the Platinum up to lincolns level if you are going to charge lincoln prices. Like it used to be back in the late 2000s. The base lariat should be 45k fully decked out, maybe 60k max. The xlt should be a 28k to 40k truck depending on the cab and bed size, tow package, etc. For the f250 and f350, their base package should be 35k for the base gaser crew cab 4 door, 6 foot bed. And should peak at somewhere around 85k for a crew cab 8 foot bed dually fully decked out, as in Platinum trim level. Its crazy how high these prices are.
