$150,000 for a Ford?

[TANSTAAFL]

Be more concerned with everyday pickups and used vehicle prices. Even during a non-shortage economy these beasts were expensive (Shelby and Lariat F150's, F250's and up)

I wonder if labelling a price with a "market adjustment" as MSRP (Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price) is fraudulent. I don't think these "market adjustments" are coming from the manufacturers or are they?

Mfr's are against the market adjustment. Makes them look bad, when the dealer is the one controlling the pricing. A customer is likely to look or move to another brand based on a dealers ****** business dealings.

Dealerships are working against ford policies. With "allotments" (only allowed a certain number of vehicles) they can charge more and add a "dealership price adjustment." Was thinking of selling my 2019 and upgrading, however not any more. My wife has a 2017 which we could get more than we paid for it new (same with my car). Problem is new car pricing is out of site, and forget about financing, the best rate I have seen for any vehicle is 2.65%. Also newer cars 2022 and beyond will have software and other "enhancements" that determine if you are driving tired or possibly drunk. Even a few years from now you may your computer not allowing you to go faster than the speed limit.

Not for everyone, more off road capable then any new vehicle out there. Bed is relatively useless, but racers and well to do don't care!

Might be more capable but that thing will fold up faster than a taco on Tuesday if you try anything more than driving down a dirt road. Good thing those people have money, the repairs will be expensive.

No. The market adjustment goes entirely into the dealers pocket. It is added by the dealer, not the manufacturer.

GM has been very vocal about dealers charging ADM and NOT to do it, or GM would start withholding future allocations. Ford not so much unfortunately.......

That’s actually what Ford is doing. And given the state laws, that’s about all they can do.

They must have just started it, because bronco folks are getting screwed out of broncos they've waited on for two years or pony up the extra ADM money.

Actually raced raptor's suspensions in the Baha 500 and won several years, plus the Shelby version is even stronger, interesting no Dodge and Chevy has had very few wins (paging GMC too)... If you are referring to frame breaks that is a replaceable part designed to take stress off the entire frame, haven't heard of it breaking on a street legal Raptor.
