Well I bought there and didn't overpay - but agree 100% with your comment as it applies to the TFL guys, Brighton probably was prepared, saw them coming a mile away and simply switched the window sticker from $32k to the flip side of $37k , wish my sales were that easy when I carried a bag.

Total Fools on the Loose and no I'm not planning on watching the video, too busy watching Barnaby Jones reruns this am.

Damn..and I posted this exclusively for Your personal enjoyment. Admins could we delete this failed thread please.

The XTL trim is extremely rare though.

You're mistaking it for a 2019. Then it'd be worth every penny and then some. ?

Correct me if I'm wrong but way back in 2019 the tfl guys- like a number of auto reviewers didn't think the Ranger could hold its own vs the mighty tacoma, now they are singing a different tune. Have not watched them in yrs but when I did back around 2013 they openly admitted to being biased favorably towards makes that they were supplied free test models, recall them gushing over Subaru forester that was supplied free and the Subaru rep that wined and dined them. I give them credit for where there are today, but obviously not a fan . And also they themselves often engage in buffonery and trivial banter at least they used to

I like Brighton Ford. Their service department has been great to me. But I've tried to buy multiple vehicles there and they never want to make a deal.

I believe that they have a lot of local loyal satisfied customers who dont shop them for the best deal. I was astounded yrs back when shopping for a Honda and went to john Elway at federal and 104th, got a quote significantly higher than other dealers, sales guy won't budge as I was leaving I asked if customers paid more because of the name, he broadly grinned and said you wouldnt believe me if I told you how many do. Now if russell wilson ever gets into the car biz would be the opposite.

I think TFL is basically just for entertainment, not real in depth information or reviews. As such, whoever sponsors them will get preferential "reviews".

I started watching them when the Ranger was new but quickly tired of the same old. Occasionally I will watch one of their videos that seem entertaining - but those are pretty few and far between for me.

Well, I've lived in Brighton for over 15 years, pretty sure I'm local.

Most of their sales seem to be fleet sales. Halliburton paid for their recent remodel with all the white Super Duties they've bought there.

I don’t remember them being overly critical on the Ranger back then but who knows. I just shared some Ranger content man.

These guys should love the Ranger. It has a rear locker and terrain modes. Those two things are like crack to the TFL crew.

I was outside for my entire transaction due to covid , about 45 mins, the service dept was super busy and saw many customers on a 1st name basis chatting with employees, all seemed happy, I think if a dealership provides good honest service they retain customers,and make money, you probably know more about their fleet sales, they did seem to have a good sized inventory. Originally I was using several sites like true car, autobytel , Kbb and got nowhere with the dealerships that used them, then came upon an internet deal at Brighton and got the loaded lariat for $34k, it was a demo with 700 odo miles and I had to use ford finances for the incentives, as I said I was lucky and not picky on color and the chrome package was ok with me.

Didn't know if my often frequently sarcastic/whacko posts offended you , not my intent just trying to honor the legacy of the dancing banana while flying under the radar.

Well, I would agree that the Hankooks are junk in the snow. As for the TFL guys, they tend to be pretty hard on Fords, though back when they came out they were sweet on the rangers especially Andrei and Nathan.

Yeah, I've tried them for three new Ford purchases. They've never come close to touching prices I can find with just a 30 minute drive.

I bought in Dec 2020, probably just 6 months or so after you from the sounds of it. They wouldn't come off MSRP. I was Xplan eligible, but why go through the trouble when neighboring dealerships were advertising better than Xplan prices?

Perhaps my downfall has been dealing with their regular salesmen. Being so close, I usually stroll in. Whereas my shopping at other dealerships is mostly online now.

I'll continue to give them a try when I'm shopping.
