I saw a financial report stating Ford's total market value (share price X #shares) would be higher if they continued the F150, but exited every other offering. Can't swear to the merit - just one analyst's opinion.

This may not be a question you can answer directly, but I'll give it a shot and try to word it as ambiguously as possible as your statement has me curious.
In your opinion, will both the people who want a hard core rock crawler and the people like me who want something more capable at speed be likely to be happy with what Ford has planned?

The Tailgate integrated step.
Anyone else remember the Dodge and Chevy commercials that specifically made fun of the tailgate step.

As it is, buying a car is a HUGE PITA. To get a "real" price, I have to contact 5 dealers, play them off each other, and then still sit for 2 hours while the place I finally decide to buy at try to sell me add-ons, insurance, rust abatement, etc.... I watch my-inlaws and friends walk in to their "1" local dealer and walk out with the "Invoice Price" several thousand over what I paid. I actually have a friend that now just waits for me to buy a vehicle, gets my sales agreement with OTD price, and walks into the same dealer and says, "give me this deal". I get free beer, he also saves thousands.
If Ford said, here is THE price. You can get it from us at $XXk, but get tier 2 service from your dealer or pay $XX+$X for tier 1 service from your dealer (priority scheduling, set price oil changes on par with JiffyLube/Pronto, etc)..... I would pay more to support my local dealership.
There has to be a happy place where the manufacture gets their base cost, the dealership provides an open and transparent buying process, and most customers OTD is within 5% of every other buyer. Well, it would be great.

Well, the new Trailblazer has an optional "ACTIV" trim level that provides additional ground clearance, wheels, and suspension tuning! I bet Ford marketing people are shaking in their boots!
I've not experienced ANY difference in post-sale support whether buying from said dealer...or shipping the vehicle in from Timbuktu. Perhaps I just naturally piss people off?

I would love to see GM try something legit with Hummer, but I thought they sold the brand name off to some Chinese company during the bailouts? I will check on that...
