F-150 no longer America’s best selling vehicle

F-150 no longer America's best selling vehicleI hope that works out for you, TT. Independent dealers of any brand are becoming rare and can be hit'n'miss. I quit dealing with the closest dealer, a small independent, over a botched brake job on my '00 Focus Wagon that they couldn't resolve. My current go-to was independent until two years ago, then first Carousel Auto Group bought them, then last year Lithia Motors bought Carousel's nine rooftops.😳 So far, so good. The customer facing part of the operation hasn't changed; same service writers and supervisor, mostly same sales and F&I.


I have purchased or leased four new Fords from them, and just bought (ordered) an Explorer and have done virtually all repairs and maintenance there over the last eleven years. Service on my 2009 Mariner and 2021 Ranger has been excellent, and they have bee good to deal with in sales. This was a critical factor in going ahead with ordering the Explorer, the Mazda CX-90 was a very close second choice; inline six and a sunroof within a few hundred of the Explorer, but the relationship I've had with Hudson Ford, Hudson WI. sealed the deal.Sun, 16 Feb 2025 15:54:12 +0000
