That particular dealer chain are assholes of the first order. We bought our Bronco Sport from there because it was one of only 3 Yellowstone Heritage Limiteds within a couple hundred miles. One dealer ghosted us, another tried to sell us the vehicle with a markup, and Sheehy in Gaithersburg, MD honored the MSRP.
I can't speak for the entire chain, but we have bought four vehicles from Sheehy Ford in Ashland and had no problems with them ever. But they have mentioned that the MD dealerships are difficult to deal with even for them. They apparently do not like transferring vehicles to any other dealerships where the two Richmond dealerships do it with no issues.
Agree 100%.
In my opinion, Ford makes some of the nicest interiors. Base models always have a subpar interior compared to higher end models. You want to see a crappy interior? Look at a Chevy. Big gaps. Screens that stick out. Menus that are hard to navigate and settings you can’t figure out how to change.
Ford can make nice interiors, but anything short of the high end models typically are straight cost cutting trash. The 2 mid level Ford's I had were rank with just obvious cost cutting with tons of nasty unfinished hard plastic with sharp edges, low quality touch surfaces and generally just a lack of attention to details. Chevy also does the same thing to save a few bucks and it's really off putting. Again I understand that they weren't the luxury version, but they also weren't the rental specials, and compared to the Toyotas, Hondas, or Ram I moved to, the interiors were just really really bad.
I had a low end Ram rental while my F150 Lariat was in the body shop. The Ram interior was cheap trash compared to my Ford.
That's a lariat to a rental special, compare a ram rental to an f150 XLT, you'll be shocked at how bad the XLT interior is in the fit and finish. Big horn and up there is a reason the ram is still considered to be the best full size truck interior in the business by pretty much every reviewer.
Maybe the XLT is that bad. I’m not really familiar with it.
They did the same thing with the outgoing generation Ranger. Why some complained the interior seemed a bit dated for the time. I think with this current generation though, they have tightened the lead times between their global launch and North America launch of the model.
