The reality is Ford and GM MSRP prices do not reflect the selling price as everyone knows. The difference is that with Fords, they start discounting them heavily right out of the gate. For example, I went with my neighbor to see an Expedition Max Platinum $83k sticker for him. He’s not a Ford guy but just wants to check out all options. Within 15 minutes into the test drive, the salesman said he can take off $15k! Afterwards my neighbor finished the dance of exchanging phone numbers inside at the desk, the manager stopped by to meet him, and took off another $2k. My neighbor wasn’t even TRYING to negotiate, he was just telling them that he was considering buying.

So when a dealer sells an $83k vehicle for $66k (and it could probably be less if you tried) resale value gets crushed right out of the gate.

Then after that you have the Ford name crushing resale value on top. That’s why prices are not the same, in either the new or used market. Ford is lower for the same thing vs. GM.

Resale doesn’t seem very different...

The only reason I’m not in a navigator right now if because they won’t go above. 5% discount and I’m not paying $100k for ANY Ford or GM product. Sorry.

Sounds like they are much more flexible with the expedition price though.

Either way, I’m still not understanding the whole ‘plane Jane’ thing. He navigator and expedition seem pretty well equipped. But maybe we’re entering opinion territory.

I think the 2021 Yukon looks much better than the Tahoe/Suburban.

That being said the 2021’s look decent, but with the softer rounder edges and body lines it’s like the K2XX just gained the Freshmen 15.

Hard to say. Lots of variables introduced when you get that granular. All we can say for sure is that Explorer is the best SUV and ford trucks are the best trucks.
