Screw Ford dealers.

Ford should go direct. Lobby for changing the law to get rid of these parasites.

I just bought a ford less than a year ago. One of those Maverick trucks since the gas mileage is really good. It's a good suburban truck for hauling or camping that still lets you commute to the city and navigate tight spaces.

The hybrids were actually marked up the worst, often 10k rather than 5k, and couldn't have AWD which was one of my requirements.

Ford would have to find a way to "fire" most of their shareholders first given how many of their most vocal shareholders are dealers.
I saw Lightning trucks going upwards of 40k over list. It was ridiculous, definitely won't be buying anything from that company any time soon. I think the dealers are entrenched middle men and it's time for more competition all around.
