Should work just as well as those botched rear window tint jobs with thousands of air bubbles,

Hybrids and it’s the new default first vehicle for Toyota fans.

I see nothing unique about Slate that Ford can’t easily copy with CE1. There could be an opportunity to sell the platform but they need to develop their vehicles first.

They’re claiming the wrap kits are only $500, but that doesn’t cover installation and that’s not cheap.

To be clear I don’t like the camera in any vehicle but I don’t begrudge Lincoln for matching other mfrs.

Yes the wraps can be factory installed. It’s the only way to get any color. Ford’s version was limited volume which is fine. 2 people could probably only do 3-4 per day. Maybe if the dealers/delivery centers did it then that would be more feasible. I think this is just going to be too cheaply made for most people.

The SUV kit is kinda cool but not crazy about those wrap options. And you can’t do wraps on an assembly line so not sure how that will work at any kind of volume.

There was a long tunnel somewhere that required headlights and there was a restaurant on one side of the tunnel. Folks would stop to eat in the daytime and forget their lights were on (this was before autolamps) and come out to a dead battery. The state looked at several high tech solutions including elaborate sensors and other complicated and expensive technologies. In the end they simply put up a sign that said “Are your lights on?”

Because it’s far more distracting looking at the camera view. IMHO of course.

I doubt it makes a noticeable difference for the vast majority of buyers. And a lot of folks don’t want the cost both upfront and down the road in maintenance. That said I don’t blame GM for offering it if enough folks are willing to buy it.

I don’t understand why people want blind spot cameras. You have to look at and interpret what’s on the camera whereas with the yellow light it only takes a very quick glance.

It was both. Costs absolutely went up very quickly for the same reason - low supply high demand.

Most of the SUV responders probably meant crossover. They should have combined them for the survey. Most buyers don’t know the difference and marketing often calls crossovers SUVs.

Parking situation hasn’t changed in the last 20 years. And prices are self correcting - if sales drop too much then prices will drop.

We were talking about the SUV not the pickup.

Still ugly as sin.

It’s called Louisville.

2 doors is probably to keep the cost down.

Almost always a weak battery especially after 3 years. Have the CCA tested.

Not in the vehicle, it would only show software was changed but that happens all the time anyway. The system that’s used to track software changes would show it unless they scrubbed that clean also.

Until C2. The problem is Ford’s most successful North American platforms (F series, Transit) are too big for Europe and Asia. T6 works with Ranger globally, Bronco here and Everest down under but doesn’t have enough models.

Shouldn’t be hard to test on other vehicles unless they removed the code with an OTA update.

My buddy just bought a CT6 V series Blackwing. Fantastic car, horrible name.

Ultra wealthy don’t buy Corvettes and they probably buy GMCs over Chevys.
