Secret troubles at Ford. More build and hold for a fix. We’re doomed with this strategy.

Why aren't young people buying vehicles? When I was young in the late 60s / early 70s we all wanted new cars.

As soon as we finished college and got our first real jobs we got married and bought houses and new cars.

Come on, young people! Pull yourselves up like we did! We had no special help or advantage! Just work hard and save your money. And buying new Fords and Lincolns helps strengthen our company!

Another botched launch. The 5 years straight of botched launches has cost the company billions. Coupke that with the failed EV strategy and I'm not sure how we're still in business to be honest.

I agree with @wyf+1rG664bB. Maverick sales are ki-ling Ranger. I wouldn't doubt if the rumors of Ranger going away are true.

Ranger and maverick too close? Get a clue. They are miles apart in terms of cost and capability.

Ranger and Maverick are too close together. Today's young people want a fresh look...not an old Ranger. Drop the line, beef up the Maverick line.

Fake News. Could not be further from the truth. They are shipping and have been. You know nothing about what you are saying.

Expect Ranger volume to SPIKE in Spring and Summer. It is a good thing we have these pristine units available to meet customer demand!

It is getting old - hearing the young people today complain about affordability. They just mismanage their money. They should just manage their money better and be able to buy new vehicles.

Ford sold zero unit if the Ranger in February. Ford will shutdown this operation soon. Too many quality, safety, failures, and recalls for this vehicle. Customers are not buying it anymore.

Aren't they counted as "sold" and booked as revenue the second they roll off the line at final assembly?
