Is this really standard build quality for an 80k truck?

I think build quality of a 44K XL is exactly the same as a 80K Platinum with same workers just installing more expensive components although build quality is identical

Yeah, or maybe the problem that Ford finally realized was that these folks building these $80k rolling mansions can't afford to actually purchase one. Where's the incentive to strive for excellence just so some rich guy can enjoy perfection or complain about the lack thereof?

Spoken like someone that thinks they deserve a job no matter what. Smells like class envy: "...so some rich guy can enjoy perfection."

Your comment totally lost me brother. Are you saying that Ford realized people can’t afford these trucks so they are building them crappy intentionally? If you think someone’s rich because they can afford an 80k truck then you must really be in the poor house.

The number one money maker in vehicles is trucks, yes? Ford has been number one for the last 300 years. Ford realizes that to keep production up and standards high, maybe we need to get off this mountain of money were sitting on and keep the monkeys who do the actual building of our stacks of cash happy.
This catering to the uber rich... I mean I'm not sure where it gets any of us. They aren't going to give you any of it for defending them on a forum. lol Just be real...

Wow. I had no idea Ford had been around for 300 years. I learn something every day.

Yeah, today you can learn about sarcasm then. The 300 years was for effect. We all know better (at least most of us)

"Employed"?

I don't know about you but I've had many, many "jobs" over the years and I have YET to receive a paycheck from a "poor" person.

...although I have received that "one LAST paycheck" from people who became poor by poring everything they had into trying to build a business.

I prefer the people who sign the front of "my" paychecks nice & rich! In fact... my current employer happens to own printing presses in Washington, D.C. and Fort Worth, Texas!

And for that reason, I would like to encourage all you to continue to vote for people promising to raise your taxes.

...although I have received that "one LAST paycheck" from a couple people who became poor by poring everything they had into trying to build a business.

I think if you have 15years or more then 100k is certainly possible plus health benefits and a pension. They can buy a KR and send their kids to college if they manage things properly.
