I've been reading Trailer Life for years.
I respect their opinions on trailers, and on the tow vehicles they
evaluate.
However, I know better than to use the economic figures they toss around
as gospel, or as anything other than what they actually mean.
A figure of $10000 per Expedition can not mean net profit. There's
simply no way that can happen. Not even gross profit could be that high.
That figure is, in all likelyhood, invoice minus parts costs, as it
can't also cover the costs of the labor, and certainly not the
'headshop' costs of research and design, normal plant costs, and other
overhead. While I have no doubt that there's more profit in Expedition
sales than in, say, Contour sales, there's no way it approaches $10,000
per Expedition. If it did, I'd own a lot of Ford stock, and shut up, sit
back and rake in the money!

What's also been missing in this thread is the fact that most
dealerships make their real money from the back end - parts and labor
out of the shop.

I have a question for the group...
We have a '91 F-250 XLT Lariat, 460, E4OD, 4.10:1, 8800# GVW (big Dana
rear axle), bought originally because we planned to buy a 5th wheel
trailer. Well, that never happened, but the truck soldiers on. Mileage
on the road is presently about 13.5 MPG. I'm thinking about replacing
the differential gearing with something to get better mileage.
I'm looking for opinions about what to replace the gearing with, and
about what this should cost.
Anyone?

Well, Bill, you don't have the "big Dana axle" unless your truck is an
anomoly. What you have is the Ford Corporate 10.25" axle.

If you're looking for mileage, you might be well-served with a set of
3.55 gears, which, if I recall, was the higher ration for your truck.
Cost depends a lot on where you go and the labor rastes in your area. A
set of gears might set you back about $150.00 - $200.00 and labor about
the same, perhaps on the high end.

I would not go to a dealer, but rather to a good axle or 4X4 shop that
does this sort of work on a regular basis. They are enerally more
experienced and often quite a bit less expensive than the dealership.

Ummm. Where do you get your information from? The oft-qouted $10,000
Expedition profit figure is right from the Wall Street Journal, Automotive
News, Ward's AutoWorld and other industry trade publications. That's one
reason Ford will make a few zillion dollars profit this year in North
America.

Spoken like a true car calesman,Josh.In my own experience,there is a
difference in making a living and screwing somebody. About a year
ago,shortly after the intro of the Expedition,I went to my friendly
neighborhood Ford dealership to drive one and took my 94 Bronco
EB(potential trade- 24,000mi,super clean) with me.After the test
drive,Offered them $34,000 for their Black XLT,4X4-the sticker was
$38,400. They declined and said they would only accept an offer of
$38,000.Then they further insulted me with an offer of $18,000 on my
trade,which was clearly low by 2-3,000 bucks.Since then I've seen
similar vehicles selling for a little less than I had offered that
dealer.I left that dealership and went directly to the GMC dealer,still
stunned and disbelieving of the experience I'd had.He infoemed me that
for the same money or a little less,he'd gladly sell me a 4x4 Suburban
with a big block,simalarly equipped.You tell me where the problem
lies.When you buy a non "big ticket item"you don't have to be concerned
with the additional cost difference with interest ammortised over the
loan duration.Not so with auto purchases.The intent of this post is not
to flame you personally,but dealerships in general.You've heard the
horror stories yourself.Oh yeah,lest anybody accuse me of traitorous
behavior,we are still driving(and very much enjoying) our 94 Bronco.The
fact that Ford chooses not to produce them anymore,is their loss IMHO.

Josh, and any other Ford sales people on here: don't know your
circumstances re experience in auto sales, but ... I think flameing you
guys is perhaps inappropriate, and shame on whoever did that. BUT....

I've bought a few vehicles over the years--high performance, trucks and
otherwise. IN 30 years of buying vehicles, I have yet to meet a salesman
who knew anything about his company's vehicles--seriously. Or even kept up
with what was on the lot. (And this is the short version). Like I said, I
don't know you, but the auto companies could go a long way to educating you
guys--maybe weekly testing? It's pitiful out there.

The consumer is best served by doing all his own research and protecting
himself by not having a trade-in.

ONe of our local Ford dealers had the owners two sons arrested for dope and
numbers running (while he was living in Vegas-any connection, you think?).
Two years later the FBI shut it down for laundering illegal cars out of the
shop at night. Ford was reluctantly involved. We had some corporate
vehicles caught up in the lock down.

The other Ford dealer just paid an $80,000 fine for duping customers on un
needed repairs. Employees torched the records office one night--my truck
was locked up in that one....

In both cases, the newpapers failed to report what happened due to the
badgering they received from dealerships on loss of advertising revenues.
The newspaper owner (circulation 10,000) owns five airplanes.

Mean while the dealer ship owners live in million dollar homes. I suspect
they got there by making 5o bucks per car. ...give me a break.

Bill, the 8800# gvw tells me you have the F-250HD. Those DID come
w/Dana 60 rears (at least my '87 did), but I'd check to be sure. Unless
you're a machinest I would have the new gear and pinion installed by a

I don't know what tires size you have, maybe 245/75/16's? If so, that's
about a 30" overall diameter (rounded). Do you have the auto OD
tranny? Do you have a tach? 4wheel parts wholesalers has a chart in

you have the auto OD, you're RPM's would be 15-30% lower than those

I just bought a 1997 F250HD Powerstroke 4x4 and bought it for $1500
under invoice. I also got a $1700 rebate on top of that. the dealer made
about $500 as the holdback for that particular truck is $2000 (holdbacks
change almost daily, and are only in effect at the time the dealer
orders the truck). I actually saw the invoice and compared that to what
dealer cost should have been according to MS carpoint and Edmunds, wich
was within a few hundred dollars. And BTW it will be a while before you
see end of tyhe year incentives on the 1997 HD and F350's since new ones
won't be around until 1999.

Hi all:

Well after nearly a month, I got the little electrical problem on my truck fixed. HOORAY!!! It works better than when I bought
the truck. The problem was that the previous owner installed a trailer light wiring harness and the wire that went from the
taillights to the harness was shorting out against the box. Well since I dont use that truck for trailer towing, and for safety
reasons, I just cut that trailer wiring crap off there. Thanks to all of you for your imput. Later dudes!
