  1. It would be interesting to see what Expedition and Navigator could do if they weren’t capacity constrained.
  2. It looks like my prognostication is correct. We will have to see what the final details look like but this is what I was expecting.
  3. I generally agree, but I didn’t think this brown Fiat was too bad. I think that would sell here. Obviously the box is short but if they came up with a bed that could extend out by 2 ft (a more inovative version of the flip out bed extender, etc) it could be workable. This kind of vehicle is not going to be a heavy work vehicle, at least in the US anyway.
  4. Wow, that’s extraordinary damage. I certainly wasn’t expecting anyone to survive that. Tragic.
  5. I do love the sound when you close the door on our trucks. It sounds like you closed the door on an armored vehicle.
  6. I don’t believe the tariffs will be around long term, and more options will open up.
  7. I don’t like the front design at all. Kind of feels like the Lexus predator design where the front end looks like it juts out from certain angles, which I despise. I also had some Kia rentals recently and the quality felt subpar compared to my Ford Vehicles. The Sorento had what I felt was a dangerous lag when you hit the gas, followed by a sketchy surge. I stopped driving that vehicle because of it.
  8. I consider myself a casual NASCAR fan and don’t know the ins and outs of the sports, other than Ford hasn’t had success like this year in a while. I was wondering what you experts attribute this success to? Is Ford contributing more resources? Is it the teams or drivers? What are your thoughts on this?
  9. Wayyyy too many Fords. Better make some rule changes for next year. And Yes, way to go Ford!
  10. Agreed, that looks awesome!
  11. Anthony, I agree with you on all those positive characteristics of the Jeep, however there are negative traits to the Jeep as well. I’ve helped friends buy Wranglers and ridden in them numerous times, and the Wrangler doesn't have the best ride quality and the ergos in inside the vehicle are not the greatest. That solid axle you mention can be a positive and a negative because it does compromise the ride. I think this Jeep will do well, but all those other trucks will continue to do well too I think.
  12. I don’t disagree. Every manufacturer will be contending with it.
  13. I like the looks of this Jeep and as stated the top can come off which is a unique feature. Unfortunately I think it will cut into Ranger sales. Slap the Jeep name on just about anything and it will sell.
  14. I’m personally not a fan of this move, as I prefer body color mirrors. This just cheapens the look IMO.
  15. It’s good to hear opinions from those that have seen it in person. It is sounding like this should be a nice truck for Ford.
  16. Care to provide additional thoughts on the Ranger?
  17. AAA is predicting lower gas prices this fall and potentially going lower beyond that time period so hopefully gas prices hold up for the foreseeable future.
  18. Well, I don’t have an answer for you, however my son’s 5.0 F150 w/ 106k miles has a tick/knock sometimes. I had it looked at by my Ford dealer and they said it was normal. I do find it annoying and not particularly reassuring.
  19. I would say the F150 did a nice job of holding its own against new competition, and it will remain a nice place holder while the next gen prepares to move the bar again.
  20. Has anyone here test drove a Ram with that suspension for comparison to an F150? I would need to drive one to see if it is really a relevant debate. The coil overs have been on the Ram for a while and it didnt seem to have a major impact on the market.
  21. Agreed! I just dont like GM interiors. They do not appeal to me at all.
  22. Ford could make this type of suspension an option on the next generation to cover the bases.
  23. If I were you, I would buy a used late model Fusion for hefty discount. You get a lot of car for your money.
