I’m talking about the current Everest. It’s dated, it’s interior is mediocre, and would be even more dated by the time they’d spool it up here.

If Toyota can sell the 4Runner, Prado, and GX in North America, then Ford can sell the Bronco and Everest.
Toyota does not sell the GX, and lumping it in with the other two is a red herring. If Ford brought Everest to NA do you think there wouldn’t be a Lincoln version? It’s yet to be seen how well Toyota will do with the overlap of the LC and 4Runner.
The Everest would sell in GTO/G8 numbers. It’s equally dated to those vehicles when they came over. It would need to be redesigned, and would need a whole new interior. The Ranger interior is barely serviceable for a midsize truck, and would not work in what would be a premium SUV.
Fixed top Bronco is a much better vehicle for NA.

End of the line for the Edge at OAC, it was a great 17 year run!
Thank you!I own a 2010 Flex (giving to a friend for his teen) and 2015 Edge (will be my sons when he gets his license in a few months) - both have been outstanding cars.

The Everest looks like a ten year old Durango with a Ranger front clip. It would sell a fraction of the numbers the Bronco does

bring on a sub 30k electric Maverick.....BINGO!
Even 40k would be fine.

I’d consider a sedan if it was a four door Mustang. Especially a BEV AWD one. Call it Mustang, Mustang Falcon, Falcon, Galaxie, or Thunderbird, doesn’t matter to me.

And it hasn’t been updated in a while.
I’ve only ever bought Fords, but if in the market for a full size SUV I’d have a hard time not going with one of the GM triplets, probably the Denali. -
Are the Toyota and Hondas truly world cars?
How many markets are the Camry and Accord sold in? In the past, at least, the Civic was a NA specific model.
-
I don’t see myself ever owning a sedan, but one of the things that always amazes me is how tall cars have gotten. Take any modern car and put it next to a late eighties, early nineties car and the modern car may as well be an SUV. My high school dream cars were the F150 Flareside, and the 92 Firebird. The 92 Firebird looks practically exotic size-wise nowadays. The new Accord seems to be bucking the trend. It looks (at least proportionately) more sleek.

There almost was a Ford version -- but it would have been a Lincoln.
No there wasn’t. There was supposed to be a Lincoln based on the R1 platform. R2 is new.
Back when Ford had a large investment in Rivian, and the Lincoln was planned I had hoped Rivian would use Ford as a “ghost kitchen” for service.

I think the Rivian R2 is the sweet spot for BEV SUVs. I wish there was a Ford option - A BEV Everest (with a more modern body) would be pretty cool.

Even if the driver hit the resume button, it shouldn’t have done anything. The Lightning has adaptive cruise and there was a vehicle in front of it.
Good point! Happened to me when I tested (wouldn’t go to set speed because of car ahead of me). Maybe an over-reaction/mistake re: One pedal. -

It started moving forward then took off.
Agreed. It’s hard to judge how fast it was moving before it accelerated - maybe less than 10 though. -

The vehicle was stopped, in this case.
If it was stopped it wouldn’t have hit anything. Unless you mean it stopped after it hit the cars? before it hit the cars it clearly was moving forward, and then accelerated into the stopped vehicles.
-
I just tested on the way home and resume works at 10 mph, but not at 9 mph. 10 mph is not unusual speed to be going in a parking lot. The resume button sticks out from the rest of the buttons and makes it easier to accidentally hit.
-
In one of the fb groups I’m active in people post about SUA frequently, and it is usually explained a
s having hit resume. When I’ve hit it I ha
ve done it while making a turn similar to the video.
-
Activate is 15mph. Resume is seemingly less (if limited at all). Here’s a thread on it.
-
I wouldn’t be surprised if they accidentally resumed cruise control while turning the wheel. I’ve done it myself a couple times, and people post about it in the Lightning groups quite often. With sub 4 second 0-60 it can be shocking when you don’t intend it to happen.

Just throw a newer f350 type bodystyle and interior but make it a suv and call it a day
There’s a guy in my town who put a newer clip on his excursion (not the latest, but newer) and it looks sharp. -
The faster charging is certainly competitive. The EVs that charge faster are 800 volt systems (most, including Ford are 400 volt). That’s a generational change, and not something you’ll see in a minor refresh.

It’s interesting that you say that because I have had a number of friends who know I’m a Ford fan ask me about it after seeing pics of it, saying they like it. So you may thinks old looking, but there will be people that like it.
There were people who wanted a Monaro and Commodore too. Not enough to make them viable stateside tho. -

Which is why it would be great if they would bring the Everest here to compete with the 4Runner. Seems like it would be a no brainer since it’s a platform mate and there’s room in the lineup for it.
Eh. The Everest, like most AUS designs it seems, looks a generation old. It looks like a Durango with a Ranger front clip. It would lead to confusion with Explorer and Expedition sales, and add marginal sales.
A fixed roof Bronco makes more sense.
The new Land Cruiser is the first Toyota in a long time that I liked the look of.

That's not to "blame" the carriers, that's Apple earning the market share through their support.
The article called it blame; the gist of the article was that the government should go after the big three carriers rather than Apple. -
I read an article recently that placed blame for Apples dominance in the US with the carriers; The articles theory as to why is Apple provides support for their phones and as a result offloads a lot of the support that would otherwise be provided by the carrier.
