That's funny because my dealer sent me a letter this week giving me a heads up about the recent recall for PCM reprogramming but also mentioned they would be interested in buying my truck and selling me a new Ford lolIt’ll all correct soon, repos and defaults are at an all time high and Ford is sending out rebates left and right. My dealer called me last week asking for me to trade in my STX on a new one and offered up some rebates. They never cold call me. Car sales are slow is what that tells me. Pondering it but interest is still high.
The reason I went from my 21 limited to the 24 platinum plus was exactly that I desired it more than my limited. What’s different? The heads up display, pro access tailgate and the updated blue Cruise. Those three things were a game changer for me. But I agree. Don’t start with Price start with whether the one you have is the one you want.The real issue they would face with me is they have to have a truck that I desire more than the one I have.
So it wouldn't be interest rates, or price increases thwarting their efforts. It'd simply be that Ford, GM, Ram have a challenge to build a more appealing truck.
I don't dislike the current offerings. But they just haven't moved forward.

I would pay stupid money for one if they started making Lariat SuperCabs again. Didn't hold onto my 2020 because it was a COVID build with a lot of weird issues and I just didn't trust it. But, it was by far my favorite configuration and by the time I hit that point the 22s were all gone. Now you can't even get a decently optioned XLT SuperCab."They" includes every marque, I just don't foresee any of them producing a truck that's better suited for me than my '22 Lariat SuperCab.

2024 f250 king ranch at my dealer and a 2024 f150 kr at a competitive dealet
My dealer , a week or so ago called when my pco hit his tickler file
He cut a very attractive deal on the f250
Said and done it would be mine for
79...down from 88, 84, 82,
But interst rates above 1.9 or zero makes it a no go...
Ilike what I have very much
F250 is exact copy of my f150, enough to fool my wife
Early this week I had it washed, waxed, detailed..because they hit a homerun on the explorer wash wax detail
Anywho
We go to pick it up
Sales guy had it parked right next to the f250
My wife parked beside te 250..really not seeing it was a 250..at first ..she said wow your truck looks brand new,
I about died...thought she pulled a robert.
Sneaky dealer
But interest rates and besting my kr is a tough nut for dealer to crack
Bloomberg reports repos are at 23 to 25% hmm nearly a qtr of all sales for 2024..that's a whole lot
You did mention ?My dealer wants my truck bad, but I can't replace it with what I want, because what I want is not available in a 6.5' bed anymore unless I move from my XLT to a Platinum at almost a 15k increase! I would seriously look at a a new XLT with the 303A high (leather/active x) option BAP if I could get the 6.5' bed. I currently have the sport appearance on my '21. Funny thing is, what I want is available to order in Canada. I have seen some of them roll through our town in NW Minnesota. Did I mention that I want a 6.5' bed?![]()
