Compared to the same quarter last year:Saying Ranger boosted truck sales seems like stretching the truth when 1. Ranger was 4% of F-series sales and 2. they sold more E-series than Rangers...
Yet the Tacoma sells more and more, setting a Q1 record to start 2019.. so not sure people really care about that stuffRanger has not begun to sell as many trucks as they will when their inventories catch up to demand. There will be huge incentives when the Ranger sales slow up. I believe Tacoma will take the biggest hit as Ranger lives on its past laurels. IF the new Ranger proves reliable, there will be no stopping it. The Tacoma, even with 2020 gadgets cannot offer anything modern from the engine to trans to Entune.......and STILL Drum brakes,
No. Only vehicles delivered to customers.Does that count the ones not delivered to buyers?
Not hard to find in Northern FL? 60 trucks within 60 miles hereRangers are hard to find in my area my Ranger came in last Friday and I picked her up on Saturday my dealer can't keep them. My guy told me that they had six people wanting to buy my Ranger before I got there and they were people looking at her when I rolled up onto the lot. Ranger is a hit for Ford now if they don't F it up by not building more or quality tanks. I can tell you I'm happy as all get out I bought her.
Ridiculous and insulting to loyal customer orders, especially after reneging on ROVP.Not hard to find in Northern FL? 60 trucks within 60 miles here
You really have to research deeper to find ACTUAL stock. Many dealers have "45 Rangers" but when you look and count IN STOCK Rangers versus those on order the number is not high at allNot hard to find in Northern FL? 60 trucks within 60 miles here
And that's not reliable my dealer showed they had 3 instock including my Ranger on the Wednesday before I bought her. My guy told me that they didn't have any Rangers instock and mine arrived on Friday and I bought her on Saturday the next day.

For example, San Diego County only has 53 Rangers AVAILABLE in stock County Wide.( over 200 on order) . That is from SIX dealerships. ONE Tacoma dealership has 89 Tacomas IN STOCK
Don't use the Ranger count when selecting Rangers. Go to the dealer site and COUNT THOSE in stock.
Q1 average transaction price on rich trim mix of 90% crew cabs was $37,882 which is $4,530 more than segment average.
This holds water. My truck still appeared on my dealers website a week after I took delivery. You have to actually go down there and touch it. And even thats not always a sure bet. When I test drove one the salesman got an earfull from the sales manager because he was letting me test drive a sold unit!!!And that's not reliable my dealer showed they had 3 instock including my Ranger on the Wednesday before I bought her.

I just don't understand how they hope to profit from betrayal.
Unfortunately Ford seems to be only concerned with immediate profitPer jpd80 on BlueOvalForums:
