In this episode, producer Phil Tower welcomes back Phoebe Wall-Howard, automotive, writer, and reporter for the Detroit Free Press. Phoebe joined us to talk about the runaway success of the highly anticipated 2023 Ford Super Duty.
In this episode, Phoebe tells us that Ford set an all-new sales record for the month of November after reaching a record number of new orders for the new Super Duty...52,518 new orders in fact... And that was just in the last five days of October!
And is Phoebe wrote in the Detroit Free Press last week, "the November sales report nearly triples that figure. (As of December 3) Ford now has orders for 151,870 Super Duty trucks since the order bank opened on Oct. 27."
Phoebe explained that Ford has never seen sales like this in its history and the truck is likely to set all-time records at a sticker price that starts at $45,000 and goes all the way up to $90,000 for loaded models… Ford is likely to make billions of dollars just on this truck alone.
We also highlighted a couple of wonderful stories about two Michigan-based engineers who worked on the brand-new Ford Super Duty truck design and actually had dreams of doing that as young kids.
