Okay, this admittedly is an obscure topic, but does anyone if Ford still use ANC (Automatic Noise Cancellation) in any of its current products? I had (and still have the most recent) a trio of different C-Max's in the teens and twenties (2 hybrids and one PIH) and I can testify that ANC makes a material difference in a positive way in the NVH inside the car. We also own a '21 Escape hybrid without ANC and the NVH difference with regard to engine noise is notable.
So - do any current Ford products have ANC, or did Ford cost cut the feature into oblivion?
I think people get too hung up on days inventory and should be looking at sales vs production. For something like F Series with so many versions and options it pays to have more inventory. As long as inventory doesn’t continue to grow and doesn’t require big rebates then it’s a non issue.
Stupid web developers. Looks like a roughly $4K increase from 2018 pricing after accounting for inflation. Which roughly matches the difference in rebates ($2500 now vs $7K then)
Even though F Series inventory is climbing, Ford is getting decent monthly sales,
perhaps this is a case of wanting enough stock on hand to entice walk in buyers?
but that would mean stuffing dealers with stock…
I guess time will tell if Ford needs to pause truck production but I have a hunch
that it would prefer to have plenty of inventory on hand over the summer to get
as many sales as possible, even with some incentives.
What do you guys think……
Sad, but inevitable. It blows my mind that Fisker, a man who's had two different companies go under now, is literally a billionaire or close to it. Upward failure seems to be a very real thing.
I find that the "search inventory" feature isn't working when drilling-down options. If you go to Build & Price, build a XLT 2WD, there's over 100 within 20 miles of 30114.
