  Ford supply share (TX):                 16.1%
  → SIGNAL: CAUTION — Ford holds top supply share but
    high inventory = potential pricing pressure

STEP 2: SOLD VOLUME (TX, past 90 days)
  Ford sold:           210,976 transactions
  Toyota sold:         172,030 transactions

  Ford volume share (TX):  14.9%
  Gap:                     −1.2 pp (over-supplied)
  → SIGNAL: BEARISH — Supply outpaces sales velocity;
    dealers holding more Ford inventory than they sell

STEP 4: EV TRANSITION EXPOSURE (F → Mustang Mach-E)
  Ford BEV active listings (TX):   1,092
  Total Ford active (TX):         98,175
  Ford EV penetration:              1.1% of active supply
  Mach-E median DOM:              354 days (1 unit sampled)
  → SIGNAL: BEARISH — EV lineup thin; Mach-E aging on
    lots. F-150 Lightning ramp needed to compete

  Chevrolet supply share (TX):     11.3%

STEP 6: SEGMENT EXPOSURE
  SUV (50% of TX sales) — Ford strong via Explorer/Expedition
  Pickup (25% of TX sales) — Ford #1 via F-Series
  Sedan (17% of TX sales) — Ford minimal presence
  → SIGNAL: NEUTRAL — segment mix favorable via truck dominance

STEP 7: PRICING PRESSURE
  TX median active asking price:  $37,819
  Ford median (range implied):    competitive truck pricing
  DOM pressure above 60d:         elevated on Mach-E
  → SIGNAL: CAUTION — Potential discounting risk on EV
    units; ICE truck pricing stable

══════════════════════════════════════════════
  OVERALL SIGNAL: CAUTION
  Ford dominates volume (#1 in TX sales) but
  carries the largest inventory overhang of
  any OEM. EV transition lagging — Mach-E
  DOM of 354d signals consumer hesitancy.
  Truck strength is the bull case; monitor
  F-150 Lightning sell-through quarterly.
