So why does Ford Corp keep taking orders?

I believe they can build 23s, they are going to be using all the same parts that the 21 F150 is using as far as interior and stuff goes. I have a 22 and hate to say this but the 22 is obsolete now. Ford isnt going to spend a boat load of money securing parts for a truck that will be completely new in 4 months. they are going to build what they can with what they have and thats about it i think!

I just ordered another 2022 F-350 yesterday the way I wanted it. All options available. I got the confirmation email today. My salesman did not give me an ETA on the truck and wouldn't even promise that it would be a 2022. I am in no hurry as I have my current 2022 for as long as I need it. I was able to order it with options that are currently not shown as "available" on the ford.com website.

They have Rams sitting on the lots here in Carlsbad CA……asking about 6K over MSRP. If you order one, its 6.5K off the MSRP. Weird how that works. Not sure how they are not short on supplies but Ford seems shorter as we have a F450 on order for months and a Bronco for over a year. I might put in an order for a Ram 3500 limited dually and see if it comes in before my F450.
Sheeesh, run away, don't walk.

El Cajon Ford is asking 10K over MSRP for SuperDuty's...
I though Ford was trying to discourage that sort of thing by telling the dealers you do that we will stop sending you trucks ?
Thought I read that somewhere a week or two back, could be wrong ?

if one dealer is charging too much, go to another dealer. There are options. More so if you're willing to travel.

BTW, I followed up on a specific limited anti-matter blue that I test drove. It was beautiful. 90K for the truck and 10K dealer markup for just a hair under 100k.
Guess what, someone bought it.

I'm sure there are a lot of dealers that are upset with ford
they can probably see the writing on the wall for the dealer model going into the future with ford signaling it wants to do direct sales with electronic vehicles

I read that also. Apparently, some dealers didn't get the memo or don't care. Supply and demand rules but that said I would never, ever buy a vehicle from them or recommend them. They earned a lifetime of bad reviews from me (to be fair, I would do that to any dealer that took this approach).

I've bought a few trucks from them over the years. I went in last November and told them I was going to go with Grainger's 2% off invoice. Did they want to get "near" that number. Best they would do was offer MSRP on an order. No thanks! Went with the 4% off at Chatham's (before price increases) . Will be letting them do the maintenance though.

I always wondered, when one orders at x plan or a/z plan, does ford take the hit on margins alone or does the dealer shoulder a part of the discount from their margin?
