I wouldn't hold your breath for a bunch of changes based on what the market does. Ford dragged their feet for years bringing this truck to market. Now, interest rates are climbing, vehicle sales are down worldwide, and economies across the globe are ripe for a slow down. Manufacturers are tightening their belts and axing vehicles that are slow sellers or low profit generators. That's not an ideal environment to debut a new truck into a crowded segment of the market, even if it does have "class leading" specs.
Hard to say.
People might opt for the cheaper and more efficient truck too.
Its going to, theres no way around it. I know they're aiming to hurt Tacoma and Colorado sales more, but they have to know F150 sales are going to suffer slightly as well.
Yup.
It took me from reluctantly aspiring for an whale of an F-150 to a smaller and more nimble truck.
