Better Get Your Ranger Now

$430 added to MSRP, $100 added to destination fee:
ok so lets think on this. if I manufacture a product and sell it at a store, lets say nipple warmers since its cold. do i get to charge every customer that buys a set a fee for my product to get to my seller... 59.99 for a set of left and right, 49.99 for a set of two lefties... ha. plus 5.00 destination fee for the nipple warmers to show up at your local store...no. in fact i cant think of any other examples at the moment where the seller gets to charge the customer for something they are required to do with out anyone buying or not. if the cars are not arriving at the dealer customers cannot buy them. they are sold by and through dealers exclusively. I cant call ford direct and order and drive to ford and pick up my car out back of the assembly line.The dealer should be paying destination fees. the manufacture should also pay destination fees. those two should take the fees out of their end, not the customers. not a single product the grocery store has an add on destination fee. yes its petty on my end. 100 bucks out of the price of a new truck is nothing. but that does not make it fair. i tell sales guys up front what fees im not paying. most of them bock and are shocked. the others actually wanna sell cars. i know its a numbers game, thats fine. hose the next sucker with the fees not me.

Quit complaining. How are they (Ford) going to pay back the Trucker's Blockade?

With the way things are going with our economy a price increase wasn't unexpected. And, as far as I can tell things ain't gonna get any better soon. Damnit............

Don't be so quick. The only difference between a vehicle at a dealers and a loaf of bread at Walmart is that the fees are broken out on the vehicle. You're paying it all on the loaf of bread (or the nipple warmers), you just can't see it.

im sure we are paying it both places. the difference is kroger is not picking a cost for it to be at the store and changing or tacking on other fees to build in more profit. bringing a product to the market for sale is not the consumers role. the producer either needs to eat that cost or plan for it, like at the store. leaving it open for fees to be added later leaves it open for shady dealers to add on fees that are bs and some people think they are required by law or state required. i see your point. but, i say either producer foots the bill or dealer as a simple cost of business operation.

Glad I got my tremor last month and at msrp (did hurt me though). Very happy with the truck and really no complains.

Yeah..if this situation gets out of hand, things will take another year to 2 or even more to stabilize ..depending on which way this crisis ends.

you might change your mind when you see some of the customers lol !

 

[9zero1790]

im glad i got my ranger when i did. it was not long ago we all would have thought paying the sticker price was insane or getting hosed. the sticker price is now a "deal" in a lot of places. im ready for the world to get back to normal.

And this is why I stated yesterday we won’t see the 6G here until at least 24.

With the Russia/Ukraine war going on this could be down to 2 tanks by the weekend.

That $530 increase really isn't that bad. The Bronco just had increases in the thousands and so did Jeep.

Jeep made the 8" screen standard (Wrangler, Gladiator), that was a large part of the price increase, but yes it works out to a few hundred dollars.

That is why I bought a 2021 a month ago.

I want the new Ranger Raptor, but we aren't going to see it, certainly not going to see it at MSRP for two years or so.

Now that is objectionable.
