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.

I have a 2024 Ford Expedition Timberline with the same sad issue. The 23 gallon tank is totally inadequate. The range is about 350 miles running to empty. If I fill up at 3/4 empty, the range is about 262 miles which is RIDICULOUS. Interstate driving at 80 mph, would mean stopping after about 3.5 hours......again, ridiculous!!
