It's anybody's guess with the microchip shortage impacting production. I'd think back to late Fall at best but doubtful. I wouldn't be surprised if the 2022MY Job #1 Date was in early January again but it's anyone's guess until Ford actually releases the changeover timetable.

455230 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Thanks. Considering getting a 2021, Ford Canada was giving $7k cash on the hood late last summer, when you could still order a 2020. I’m thinking a long production run increases likelihood of a repeat of this. Although , time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manufacturers are reducing incentives wherever they can to try to preserve some profitability as compensation for the microchip shortage and the impact on production. In addition, Dealers are reducing or even eliminating their discounts on various models for the same reasons due to the tight inventory. Some think the microchip shortage will be resolved in the next 3-4 months and things will be back to normal which I think is highly optimistic and not likely.

455230 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Who knows? $3500 cash on the hood already. Was $2500 last month. Ford USA is definitely tighter fisted than Ford Canada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawns54 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Rebates seem to have dried up, not many cars available at the dealers, demand is far exceeding the current supply, wipes all the deals out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford recently completely revised its incentives program, eliminating most retail cash incentives and relying more on trade-in related incentives. Going forward, Ford should learn to work with lower in-stock inventory thus reducing the need for the customer cash rebates that have dominated and controlled sales since they were introduced by GM in 1986. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
