Getting tree’d like a mofo lately.
Q & A Session... - Ask a Ford Dealer
- Thread starter 13COBRA
- Start date
So let’s do a press release and then not let the public where you can even purchase the product. So be it, many other options available that will gladly accept my money. This is not directed at you. You have always been very accommodating to the enthusiast crowd.
I get your frustration, but there won't be enough produced to really matter, unless you were willing to pay a LARGE ADM. Much like the 37 GT350R's from 2015.
Not sure why people get so mad about this stuff. Its all part of the game and big money talks. Nothing really new but seems like its a shocker to some everytime it happens.
If your serious about this car , get in touch with a broker and get the check book out.
I am not mad about it, I just dislike the practice. I am not a collector so the paint scheme/heritage model while cool, ...is not worth 25k+ adm to me.
I will just look elsewhere and purchase something else. Kind of like what I did two weeks ago. I wanted to buy a Ranger Raptor but we all know Ford will not sell in the US. A full size Raptor is larger than what I needed, so I bought a 2020 Colorado ZR2 that GM gladly sold me.
I realize my 1-2 purchases don’t change the fortunes of Ford. Then again with Their recent overall company performance and outlook, they may want to reconsider their decisions and practices. I will be interested to see how they handle the launch of the bronco.
I’ve got one for you.
As a dealer - how much of a difference does it make when buying/selling a vehicle made/produced for a different country?
Take F150’s for example. If someone were selling/trading one that was made in/for Canada, would that effect what you offer as a trade and then subsequently charge a new buyer?

Your asking for a rare , special car. Part of the rareness comes from making it harder to get. Why not get a regular one and save the money then?
As for the ranger raptor its comming but its not gonna be the same version over sea's.
As for the ZR2, while a nice truck is nothing special and should be cheap to buy.
I just traded for a 2018 or 19 Colorado ZR2 with <500 miles on it.
Totally different than a 'limited production' Raptor, or a non-US Ranger Raptor.
A little. I always want to see the undercarriage. Canada uses some harsh stuff on their roads. A truck with 30k from Canada looks like one with over 100k from here.
I don't buy CDJR products from Canada, because their warranty stops at the border.
What about a Lobo?
Living as close to Canada as I do I almost learned that the hard way. On an srt Jeep gc
If it is a Lobo, they don't meet US emissions. We occasionally get them here and they are like the Middle East cars with no cats and sometimes no airbags.
What is a the US version of Canadian XTR F150 ?
Won't pass emissions.
Yeah, some of them are pretty gnarly. Worse than flood vehicles.

That link doesnt work
Says "Please check back later. The window sticker has not yet been released for this vehicle."
I don’t think you want a Ford. You just want to be pissed at someone, you have chosen Ford.
You choose two very specific vehicles that you can’t get then you whine about it online. All while the same vehicle is available without the special label. But that’s not good enough for you.
Don’t worry there are plenty of buyers to purchase all the Raptors and R Heritage cars Ford does build. They are losing nothing because you have chosen to go elsewhere.
Forget the Bronco. You’ll only want the limited edition one that can’t be had for under msrp. Just buy the launch edition Gladiator and save yourself the tears....
