How will fuel prices impact Bronco sales / delivery [Warning: NO POLITICS]

[4xFord]

Maybe price gouging should also be talked about..The US oil companies are sitting on 9,000 permits to drill on US land..and none of those 9k permits are in operation...what are they waiting for..?

I'll provide my 2 cents on what they're waiting for.

1) Labor shortages (roughnecks, pipe welders)
2) Raw material shortages (steel, sand)
3) Speculative permits taken out on leases that didn't produce and will never be drilled.
4) A financial sector that no longer rewards growth and wants capital discipline.
5) State pension funds pulling O&G investments.
6) Permitted wells that lack infrastructure (pipelines, compressor stations)

I haven't read 25 pages, but prices yoyo up and down. A lot of panic now, and a lack of foresight when they drop again

I’m too late the party. Don’t want to read 15 pages. So I’ll say Not at all

I do think a handful of people who would be daily driving their Bronco will start to reconsider. For those who aren’t daily driving it, I doubt their plans will be impacted substantially.

For me personally, no changes. I currently own a Ford Focus for daily driving. I was always leaning towards keeping it, but there was a small chance I would have traded it in if they gave me a good price for it. The higher the gas prices go, the less of a chance I trade it in, but I’d still consider it if they gave me more than the Focus is worth.

I will admit the Wrangler 4xe does look a lot more appealing with prices being so high. Makes me wonder if Ford has plans for a hybrid Bronco.

If you have one you know, if you are waiting on one be warned.................my 2 door has a small tank, sort of shockingly small. Not as small as my EB, but you will be thinking about a gas station more than you anticipated. (especially with the awesomely crappy gas mileage) However, the rig is cool and I get a lot of looks and compliments on the rig so there are pros and cons
