Version 2.0: retractable air tag axle...
That would be mine, and clearly JohnnyO is colorblind.
I thought you had said that at one point.
I believe y'all are thinking of Ford Nationals...
I get that...
They just don't care about the ranger
And it was a truck event to boot. One would think Ford would have wanted some kind of representation but I guess since none of the other manufacturers were there, they felt they didn’t need to be there either.
Come to think of it, they never were at Bloomsburg Truck Show back in the day either.
Saw this TIKTOK vdo where this guy goes to a bunch of different Ford Dealers. His whole point of the series is that Ford dont care about the Ranger and don't want the Maverick sales to leapfrog the F series. ONE used maverick on the lots and it was in "pre-sale" which basically means "If you want to pay more than the 'other guy', You can have this one" Meanwhile EVERY iteration of the F-150 was there. Raptors, Lightnings, Tremors, Base XL models Fully loaded Lariats, and every thing in between. He deduced that the Dealers would try to convince you to get an F-150, even though you think that you might Need a Maverick, they have a F-150 right here, right now, NO waiting.They just don't care about the ranger
If it was the 40th anniversary of the F series they would of brought 10 and paid for 17 iterations of Bigfoot to be there and everything else
Dealers do seem to habitually/traditionally try to upsell as many folks as they can.Saw this TIKTOK vdo where this guy goes to a bunch of different Ford Dealers.

Yep pretty much. The F-150 is the vehicle they want the sales numbers in more than anything. Sure they did a lot of promotion when they brought the Ranger back but that pretty much dropped off a cliff the next year. I wouldn’t be surprised if it is the same with the Bronco. I watch very little TV. So I have no idea what is being pushed and to what level but I know there was always an F-150 ad if there was anything from Ford before.Saw this TIKTOK vdo where this guy goes to a bunch of different Ford Dealers.

The sales staff wants to sell what is on the lot. It’s less work for them and a quicker turn around on the sale. Not to mention it frees up the money the dealer has invested in what is sitting on the lot.
Well they want to sell what they have.
I would too. That had “I’m going to screw you anyway I can” written all over it.
