if you watched Football yesterday-you saw these...very well done-its nice to see Ford's new ad agency coming up with new ideas vs the same ole same ole they've had for years.
I could see adding the 2.0LEB for lighter/cheaper models along with the 2.5L but not replacing the 2.3LEB.
2.5L - fleet only
2.0LEB - std on XL, XLT 2WD
2.3LEB - std on 4WD, Lariat and higher trims
2.7LEB, 3.0L TDI - optional on XLT and higher trims
Now just everbody SETTLE DOWN.You will be notified at the very last minute as need be.Now first things first and "we" need to have the UAW Legal Services Funding increased dramatically.You bozo`s will be told what the company wants you to do for your $1500 signing bonus in good time!
The 2019 Edge is doing very well for us the past 3 months and is also a good alternative to those that don't need the Explorer's 3rd row seat. Strong demand for 2019 Edge Titanium AWD''s w/Titanium Elite Package which we're having trouble keeping in stock. We're in CT and buying Edge Titanium's from dealers in PA to meet demand. Unfortunately, a number of customers buying or leasing the 2019 Edge ST's are complaining about the ST's seats.
Changes for the 2020 Edge should help grow sales even more with increased availability of the SE AWD which includes more standard equipment at an even more attractive price point.
I'll have to look at the current residuals for Ford's leases but historically they're competitive or slightly on the conservative side. And don't even bother to look at Mustang residuals as Ford does not want to lease Mustangs.
Basically the same thing. The first step in the scheduling process is for the order to be scheduled for a production week. The VIN number is assigned at that time. A short time later the production schedule is reduced to a specific scheduled production date. The actual production process, as reported, starts days before the scheduled production date which is explained in the scheduling process post, referenced in my reply above, in the Ford Motor Company Discussion Forum.
But have used vehicle resideuals held up better than many of the forecasts? Ford credit profits have been good.
Question to you (or anybody) how has RAM been doing since the change to quarterly reporting?
I see good things ahead for Ford sales given all the new & important product coming. The only question is how disruptive is the F-150 change over on inventory/availability.
Scheduling information is available in the Ford Motor Company Discussion Forum. If you don't have a VIN number your vehicle will be scheduled for production sometime after the week of 10/28/2019. It could be scheduled for production the week of 11/04/2019 if your Dealer has scheduling allocation and there are no commodity/option issues with your order specifications. VIN numbers are assigned at the time the vehicle order is "Submitted to the Plant" and scheduled.
With respect, it's not about gas prices, they are actually the last nail in the coffin.
the whole thing is spinning on easy credit and lowish interest rates.
So many vehicles now are being financed with optimistic residuals to keep repayments down,
manufacturers want people turning their vehicles over every three or four years...
