Looks like they have the same bore spacing, but different deck heights. So they probably reused some of the tooling.

I would prefer a closed deck or at least a semi-closed deck like the 2.0. A lot of the Ecoboost Mustang enthusiasts use the 2.0 block when building a new engine for the added strength.

Is it still an open deck block?

Awesome car! Hope you enjoy it.

So, which product line should Ford delay/cancel in order to free up enough money for this venture? They don’t seem to have a bunch of spare cash lying around to invest in Slate.

It happened once on my 2005 Mustang in 13 years. It has not happened on my 2018 Mustang. It has happened once with my brother’s Bronco.

I think Eldorado still sounds okay. Fleetwood definitely sounds old.

Agreed. The proportions are definitely off.

I had a 92 reg cab short bed 2.3L manual. It really needed more power, but I loved that truck.

If that was Ford’s intent, it is a bit too subtle, IMHO.

I’m not sure I understand what you’re saying here. I don’t see the hockey stick in the side surfacing.

I didn’t realize that Canoo had filed for bankruptcy. I liked their approach to vehicle development. Their products were definitely different, but had a purpose to their design.

GM has outsold Ford for several years now. But Ford is still the number 1 brand.

My brother, like me, is short. He mentioned the steering wheel being too high and upright. That may not be an issue for taller people. I haven’t sat in it, so I can’t offer an opinion.

My brother just recently bought his first Transit for his company’s fleet. The only complaint he mentioned was that he didn’t like the position of the steering wheel.
