You keep saying this but do you really think a fleet buyer doesn't already know about 650/750 and already does comparison shopping? These aren't impulse buys or buyers who don't know trucks.

Probably but I doubt they would recover those costs. Better to build a new one with all the ce1 improvements.

Here is a question that I am interested in. Lets say Ford continues to build Mach E on the GE1 chassis for other markets. Could the upgraded electrical from CE1 Universal Electric Vehicle be adapted for use on GE1 chassis? I know GE1 is an older design, but would a CE1 electrical architecture sustain it for further use? -

If I had to guess as to the poor sales of 650/750, I would say the lack of promotion is the biggest reason sales are what they are. I would think to the experienced fleet guy that might be viewed as the kiss of death. Do I want to invest in trucks that will probably no longer be around in a year or two? As I've previously mentioned, The New England Ford dealers ran their own add frequently on tv spots highlighting Super Duty capabilities-snow plows- but they also included a 650/750 pulling a tag with a TLB on it. And as to capabilities of the Power Stroke/Ford trans, while I was a skeptic, A friend runs a heavy spec 650 dump- that also pulls his heavy tag trailer- derated to 25,999 to avoid the CDL issue and in his mind the truck is a winner as it is pushing 100,000 miles. And as Joe mentioned, CT. DOT has them in their fleet as does Mass DOT. And I have seen them out this past winter on secondary roads with 10/11' plows. -
Ford and Unifor reached a tentative agreement tonight. I will present the details when they emerge for those who may be interested.

sounds good. I'm ready to sell my 2022 F350 King. My dealer has my new order, F350 King Ranch again. Just waiting for Ford to start scheduling.

Of course Ford raised the MSRPs, but they do that all the time even before tariffs. Whether their costs increased due to higher taxes, higher cost of raw materials, higher labor cost or tariffs doesn't matter. They set MSRP and dealer invoice prices and the consumer negotiates the selling price with the dealer. There is no line item for tariffs. Let's say You bought a Maverick last year and this year the government retroactively charged Ford $1k per Maverick sold last year due to an error. Would you owe Ford that $1k? Of course not. Likewise you're not entitled to a refund if their costs go down retroactively.
