Kind of like what Dodge did when the Demons came out, they're putting some pretty strict rules down on the dealers saying they can do the "market-adjusment" BS and looks like you have to keep it a year before trying to sell/flip. https://www.yahoo.com/news/ford-threatens-dealers-wont-send-171821933.htmlI think Ford has a pretty good chance of being very successful as they have the most truck looking, truck EV set to come out.

Probably because of the bronco. People making double the money on them right now.

Charlie Heard some discussion on this today. Car Pro Guy Jerry Reynolds talked about a guy buying a new Tundra and flipping it for an 11,000 dollar profit.
Yes! A Weatherby does kill them deader.

I am still looking for the perfect apron, one with reinforced knee areas would be perfect.

Does anyone here have an electric truck? As for me, that’s not in my planned future, but I would like to hear real world use experiences.

It is 200 miles to the deer lease plus driving around the lease. That means I need a recharge before heading home. Do you install a charging station that will only be used a few times per year. I tow my boat to brother's house in Burnet. Do I install charging capabilities at his house to use a few times each year? EVs work for daily commutes but who needs a truck for that.

I wish they would just build my Bronco that I reserved in June 2020.

It's all mouthwash. Dealers will find work a rounds to anything Ford corporate tries to push on them. If they were serious then they would have handed down guidance on the Bronco fiasco.

"Ford Motor Co., concerned about its reputation". That's a hoot coming from a US vehicle manufacturer!
