Here’s the problem, the truck can tow more weight than 7500 lbs. Its the fact that it can’t properly steer or stop with that much weight. I would imagine we’ll see Ranger towing close to 10k by next generation. 

So... trucks are getting to be too expensive? Stop asking for things like blind spot monitoring, radar guided cruise, bluetooth, rear cameras, 22" wheels, multiple trailer cameras, leather heated massage seats, CarPlay and Android Auto, 4G connectivity, tailgates with multiple steps or folding doors, sliding rear…

At the end of his statement he ends it with "I hate car dealers"

Maybe you should tell them that since I'm sure your CU has an indirect dealer program. Then maybe they can cut you off so you don't have to work with them.

What did you expect him to do?

I'm not really comparing this to his Overhaulin builds. Some of those have been great though.

These guys build the most badass shit I have ever seen. Insane build quality and the ideas they have kill anything Foose has ever turned out. Not that I'm not a fan of Chip, but these guys take what he was doing and turn the knob up to 15 on quality and creativity. This is amazing.

Best Jalopnik Day Ever. Bravo.

Ugliest wheels I've ever seen. They look like K-Mart Hub Caps. All that's missing is bolt on fake brake calipers.

Doug,

Maybe you should look at this from a different angle. I've been a partner in a successful dealership for several years and this is what I have seen.

You could name it Eau Rouge and then get sued by the owners of Spa.

I knew about that, but didn't see if they really followed through with it. I'd love to see a matte gray MKZ. I actually like the way that car looks.

I can only hope they will. Ford really forced the rest of the industry to step up with in car infotainment systems when they introduced SYNC. The execution wasn't all that spectacular, but this is what I'm talking about. One of Lincoln's things that they used to be the front runner in was lighting. The Mark VIII was…

1. Sporty and agile sedan that has at least two new technology pieces that are industry firsts. The vehicle should be powered by something not found anywhere else in the Ford family. Offer this vehicle in RWD and AWD in both long wheel base and wagon variant. This vehicle should be the new face of the company. It…

No one here my my dealership is located cares about Tesla. Their business model is amazing but their target market is so small that it doesn't effect my business and the business of anyone around me. The dealerships fighting Tesla are the ones who lack a strong business model. They have no plan. They feel threatened…

I could care less what Tesla does. It has ZERO effect on my dealership. I'm still wondering why they're fighting it at all. I would be willing to bet that it isn't the domestic or mid level dealerships but it's the near luxury, luxury and high line stores that are fighting it.

You pay tax on the trade difference which in both scenarios is exactly the same.

It is you. You're right. You're the one out of 100. You're the one that no dealer really cares about having for a customer. I don't mean that saying that you're a jerk just saying that no one is going to cater to the 1% and change an entire industry.
