Heck, just think how great the Q3 numbers should look, compared to the 2019 Q3 launch debacle,,,,,, HRG

Thanks for uploading Ice! HRG

The Raptor has a much lower tow rating than a comparable F-150, even though it's got 4.10's in the back (thanks to the big tires). Don't hear much complaining about that. HRG

Thank you.

Akirby, what financial metric would you like to focus on, so that in 2 years we can see if Ford has achieved the growth you are anticipating? I'm willing to print this page off and tack it to the wall so we can remember to re-visit your prediction. Maybe one from this list? https://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/f/financials HRG

How soon they forget how they raised the prices once the 2018 tariffs were enacted. HRG

Funny you mention that, I've actually looked at a number of late 3rd Gens, but that generation of the 3.5EB scares the crap out of me. Like you say, the resale on them seems low. HRG

Agreed, apples vs oranges. HRG

Agreed, but all I'm comparing is full-size 4-doors. The cost of admission to get a full-size 4-door product is a LOT less with the F-150. HRG

I know I would look more seriously at an Expedition if the staring price wasn't $16-17K more than a SuperCrew F150. When I bought my 1st-gen '97, I don't remember there being a 50% upcharge just to get into the product. HRG

I agree, I believe that there's a market for a lower-cost basic transportation vehicle like the old Ranger, but that doesn't fit with the position that many have that higher ATP's are the best approach for a healthy company. Consider this, selling 200K lower-cost vehicles that need oil changes, tires and maintenance over years of use may provide greater revenue than 50K vehicles with a higher 1-time profit. More vehicles mean more plants (assembly & suppliers) as well as more employee's, like Fuzzy. HRG

I'll nominate Pollo Feliz,,,, HRG

According to Google Maps, they were headed Westbound on I-80, at exit #112/Rt. 47 Morris IL. The Grundy County Fairgrounds sign at street level is only on the WB side. Since they were also spotted further west near Des Moines IA, probably headed out to CO for TFL to play with,,,, HRG

I'm usually out in 45 minutes for a "Works", including the tire rotation. HRG

Looks great! Did you have a leveling kit installed already, the front end looks a bit "up there". HRG
