Yea The sales department is but the service department by me is packed.
They have very little on the lot. A few F150's, some Escapes, one or two overly priced Rangers, a few Bronco sports. Very few salesman. Ranger prices are 18,000 higher than I paid for mine on the same model. Sales is a...
I mean that is a whole another thing why release a vehicle you can't stock. I mean waiting 6 months is one thing but years. It is ridiculous. I mean if you can not get the parts don't release the vehicle and use the time for more testing until you get enough parts.. It just creates more bad blood.
Sad to see any American brand like this.
I got to say I am very skeptical Of getting another Ranger seeing the issues over seas with the New Ranger. I said this in the other thread it is not that there is problems it is that Ford is not doing anything for these people until it makes major news...
I agree 100 percent especially on Hybrid's. At least you have a gas backup and can recharge while you drive. I am in a cold climate too and well we know what happens to batteries when it is 20 below. I am not against EV at all to each his own what ever some one wants is ok with me.. Plus it adds...
I think people get there might be a little fuel in their oil but for some it is not just a little fuel.
For some it is rising to the point were it could cause damage.

I really do like the look of the Raptor. The others models seem just ok to me. I like it is 6 cyl. it is what I miss about my Colorado.
I really like the look of the Colorado and especially the GMC Canyon. For me long term Chevy ownership has always bit me in the butt.
I also like the Frontier...
Anyway back on topic. I think Ford needs more testing of there product. More people testing to. These problems just are not being caught. it is eaither that or they just do not care.
I test products for a company different hobby. You know we found some problems on a new product and they didn't...
I had edited my post above, you must have replied before.
I was looking at the trail boss. 120 volt outlet can not even be had on it not even as a option and the same with heated seats and I am in Wisconsin. Just stupid things that make no sense.
ZR2 is a great truck especially if you off road...

I also saw a few more recalls and Ford tops the list for recalls.
Honestly recalls do not bother me as long as they fix the issues, issues happen it all about how a company handles it...
I owned a Colorado before my Ranger. No issues, good truck the Transmission was a little rough shifting. The Colorado felt a little more truckish, Less tech and a little more rugged. The Ranger feels a little more SUVish and comfortable. I like both and neither have gave me much of a issue. I...
I hope you are right and Ford shakes out the problems over there before brining the Ranger here.
I have been seeing allot of videos like the one in the other thread where people are having issues with the New Ranger and Ford is pretty much ignoring them so much so it made the news..
I get it...
Well now it is the Escape shut down:

Wonder if what ever the problem is, it may be across the board.
I saw this the other day so maybe it is true but I doubt it:

Yea but that is what the pay is and your are competing against other companies for the top CEO's you have to pay it. Sometimes you get a dud. I do not like it but it is not my company. I mean it is up to board of directors if they think someone is worth it. It is all about the stock price. The...
I believe it.
Can not deliver Bronco.
Can not deliver Maverick.
I was at my dealer for a oil change and they only had 1 Ranger in stock.
Newer escape isn't doing well.
No cars to sell other than mustang.
Last two times in they had a few salesmen on the floor and time before that they were...
