I love Ford but at 100K not for me...

Crazy price.

Recently read an article about a auto dealer chain buying several Harley dealers. They asked why an auto dealer group would be buying Harley dealers, the response was that the car dealership owner liked riding the bikes and feels that Harley is much more than a motorcycle company, its a lifestyle. Harley customers buy Harley clothing and other products making the investment safer than a car dealership.

My point is that folks with big money believe Harley riders will always support anything with the Harley name because it's there lifestyle.

To me this is dangerous thinking. Remember when GM said something like "whatever we build America will buy" didn't work out so well. GM once owned the American auto industry, never will again.

Interesting!   Here's a funny story.   I bought my 2019 at the end of October from A.D. Farrow's Downtown Columbus store immediately after it had arrived off the truck and before it had even been PDI'd.  I had been stopping in regularly and telling the salesman to call me when they got one in.   Obviously when I saw the bike I had to have it      While my wife and I were sitting at the table waiting for the paperwork to sign, someone came to the desk and said that Rick Ricart from Ricart Automotive was on the phone and wanted to purchase the same bike (My Bike.)   The sales manager took the call and told him that they already had a deal on the table and that if the deal did not go through for some reason they would let him know.     At the time I felt that they were telling the truth because I had already committed to buying the bike so there was no real reason to play games with me but I have never really been 100% sure about it.    Now I am convinced that this was really going on.
Thanks for sharing the article!

I was really shocked when I saw the price. I’ve owned a 2000, 2002 and a 2007 HD F150. The 2000 was a step side bed. When they came out with the supercharged 2002 model (340 hp), I traded my 2000 on it. Both trucks handled the same. Obviously the 2002 was a lot quicker and one of my favorite vehicles I’ve ever owned.
That one I had a little over 5 years and then traded it for the 2007 model. This was also supercharged with 450 hp. This truck had a bad engine from new and was replaced. Plus Ford did a suspension change, this truck drove like it had 4WD. It was only 2WD, but when I parked it next to another F150 4WD, it was the same height. The supercharged trucks only came in 2WD.
So I was really interested when I saw a new one coming, but certainly not for $85,000+
They were a little pricey years ago, but I think this new truck is way over priced.

Looks like a bad April Fool's joke or a real dick move. Just saying...
