The axles that went bad on our Maverick were labled Hyundai.......

2.3L is adequate but not gonna win a race. I wanted the 3.0 but its not available in the bench middle row/7 passenger config.

We had a short transit wagon, 10 passenger, low roof. It was awesome! It replaced a suburban and was WAY better for our family. You cannot buy a short/passenger transit anymore so the custom could fill that void.

The info seems ok. Very fast! I havent done much with it yet but so far so good.

Received our 2025 Explorer. Really like it. The interior upgrades are very impressive. The Mohave Dusk interior color is very classy. It is a Platinum, bench seat middle row, 2.3L. Matt

I think the Custom would do well in the US. I am expecting a new explorer any day now but would have bought the Custom if available. AWD-Hybrid would be a winner IMO.

I wish they made a Mach E with a ICE. I love the size and the interior but battery doesnt make much sense for me either.....

I have been waiting 20months now for mine ( re-ordered after 2022 balanced out). Ford is a joke. Hearing about all of the delays, it is unlikely i will get it this year.....

What is Ford's plan to fill this size/segment? -Matt

Yes. I am pissed also. You cant get an XL with a 7.3, without all the unwanted extras for a massive increase in cost. I get they are all about high profit sales, but they get no profit when a customer chooses another brand to get what they want.

Windshield wiper motors are so scarce for a superduty. People are paying $400 for USED units. We have 2 trucks sidelined because we cant get the motors. I would trade 4 emblems for a wiper motor, any takers? I cant believe things have gotten to this point........ Matt

Here is a pic of our Lariat FX4 with a 2in lift and slightly bigger tires.. This little truck is a blast to drive. I cant keep my redneck daughters out of it!

Maybe that's what the 6.8L is for?

I would say no, based on my experience. We have 2- f750 6.7 cummins. 1 manual, 1 allison. I borrowed local friends/company 2019 f750 powerstroke -torqueshift dumptruck to haul 9 loads of stone for my driveway. I would take that combo hands down. Its much quieter, smoother, powerful. Plus both the cummins in our company have egr issues, dpf failures. Just my opinion.

My company just bought a new f150 hybrid. After driving it for a day, i dont believe superduty needs large gas v8's. It is REALLY impressive. The new 7.3 is fantastic, its my favorite truck engine for sure, but i believe we will see hydrids in the future for both performance and fuel economy reasons.
