I just got around to looking at sales for the month of November, and 'Heavy Truck' (650 and 750) sales are down 27.3% compared to November 2024.  For 2025, year to date 650/750 sales are down 17.5%.  Those are substantial numbers, but I think it is important to consider the market.  Year to date, class 5-7 sales are down 9%, but Ford still managed to sell nearly 2,500 class 6 trucks, leading the market.  It is interesting to note that only a very small percentage of those class 6 sales were F-650's, most were F-550's and F-600's.  It looks to me like while F-650 and F-750 sales are in a step decline outpacing the overall market decline, Ford has been able to maintain leadership in class 6 with strong F-550 and F-600 sales.  If Ford were to drop the 650 and 750 of course it would end their negligible class 7 sales, but it would appear to have little effect on Ford's class 6 sales.   Note that overall class 4-7 sales were down a whopping 25% in October compared to October 2024, but much of that was attributable to the effect of tariffs on class 4 and 5.  Some Isuzu trucks are still imported from Japan and all of the larger Ram models are imported form Mexico, and they are big players in class 4 and 5.

When I first bought my 2005 F150 as a used truck 6 years ago, the emergency brake indicator light was on and no matter what you did, it would not go out - turns out, the instrument cluster needed to be repaired as it had bad solder connections - also had some issues with the two of the instruments in cluster. @Hillbilly Auto Supply is definitely on the right track. I sent the cluster out for repairs and a few weeks later, it was back and in working correctly. 

Thankfully, my wife turns 65 in May, so we can get her off private insurance.   HRG

GR86 has a low cowl/hood, visibility shouldn't be an issue. I'm guessing the window and windshield height (top to bottom) is similar to the Mustang.  Just ignore the caption/title. Lol    

Yeah, it's nice to know it's paid off!  About 9 more years for ours, but at 2.75% (we refi'd in June 2020 Covid rates), we're not hurting too bad on interest!   My wife is retiring July 1, 2026 after 30 years with the state (she'll retire the month she turns 50).  Since I'm self-employed, our insurance is through her.  I thought our cost of $1300/month was going to be bad, but it doesn't seem bad at all, especially since that will be covering 4 of us!

If only Ford had Class 8...........650/750 sales would be on FIRE!!! 🔥🔥🔥*                                                                                 *allegedly

F-650/750 sales down another 27.3%?  At that rate sales will be '0' by March! 

At least NYS doesn't tax food. 

Interesting, I wonder if Ford maintained Super Duty production at the expense of F-150 production.  Nonethless, it could have been worse and if the plant is back on line on schedule F-150 production should catch up quickly.  

Mustang probably has a better seating position/view of the road.   Mustang needs to remain practical/usable as a daily driver - look at Camaro when it went too far into sports car/performance direction.
