Cause it would be too hard to do?

I think the big issue is figuring out to make these profitable vs the issues they've been having with the Kuga and Escape with that.

What was the deal with the transmission? I haven't heard about that

IMO it would take too long to get a V8 Bronco out with the threat of CAFE snapping back in 2030 or so.

Would make a good Edge replacement 😛

Also keep in mind that the F-150 hybrid is rated at 430 horsepower and 570 lb-ft of torque, so I'm guessing they might be hitting the practical limits for torque output in the 10R transmission too.

If anything it would lead to quick and easy things that can be turned back down like selling more V6 Broncos or 2 door Broncos. That is the first thing that pops into my head.

in NJ we are looking at 20% monthly increase in our electrical rates, but apparently their is some sort of offset so it isn't as high. https://newjerseymonitor.com/2025/06/18/new-jersey-utilities-to-cut-60-from-electric-bills-to-offset-controversial-price-spike/ Its downright stupid along with the cancellation of the off shore wind mill program they had, not sure how they plan on making up the shortcomings in power generation in state either.

Yeah that is what I thought also, just makes you wonder what product they are planning on building in the EU, apparently the Capri and Explorer aren't doing too hot sales wise and they have a ton of extra production space with no new product to fill it, from what we know.

I wonder what engine they are using in the EREV-the power numbers are down quite a bit vs the 1.5 3 cyc Ecoboost.

Ford COO Kumar Galhotra Says Increase In Recalls Part Of The Plan

What If The Next Generation Ford Escape Came From Spain?

it doesn't really matter-any repair over 5K for a car that is out of warranty is more or less a major financial event that would basically force the owner to get a new vehicle, since the vast majority of people can't afford a one time hit that easily.
