Raptor to be announced the day after the Ram. ?

Exactly! Let's try to reach out to Ford about the pics we should have never posted for the readers... while the pics are still posted. So stupid.

Since this covers Ford, figured I'd post it here. So 55% of SDs have to be electric by 2035... https://www.yahoo.com/news/california-shakes-auto-industry-says-180026843.html Under guidelines approved Thursday, at least 40 percent of the tractor trailers sold in California would have to be powered by some form of zero-emissions technology by 2024. Medium-duty trucks, such as the Ford F-250 or Chevrolet Silverado HD, would be required to switch over 55 percent of their sales by 2035; and 75 percent of delivery trucks and vans would have to use zero-emissions powertrain technology by 2035, a point by which fully 100 percent of government fleets and last-mile delivery trucks would have to meet the target.

Didn't realize typing was so audible. Yes this is my worthless/pointless reply to your worthless/pointless reply.

It is.. and it's a terrible name

The "powerboost" on the front door is terrible.. that has to come off.

Can't find TFL's 2021 F150 articles... oh wait lol.

UGHHH.. powerboost?? Hate the name. But boy these trucks are gorgeous. Hope these fold flat seats make it to the SD soon. I've slept many of times in my SD during snow storms and this would be awesome to have.

Small blurb from Fordauthority.com. this is the explorer but my guess is same exact issue with all of them. The Ford Explorer corroding hood issue stems from iron contamination of the aluminum panel prior to the application of paint during production. Over time, the iron particles move into the aluminum body part, causing it to corrode. As highlighted in a recent report from Car Complaints, Ford has already created several technical service bulletins (TSB) on the issue. The first was in 2004, followed by a second in 2006 and a third in 2016. A fourth TSB was issued in February of 2019 that recommended outright panel replacement.

Not an expert but I believe at the factory. Hoods get contaminated and not prepped properly for paint. My 2011 had bubbling under the lip but never made its way to the edge. I have seen way too many Exprer owners need hood replacements and many many people get screwed by Ford on this. Really no different then the mustangs and rear liftgates of the Expeditions and Navigators. It is a real shame frankly..

Same issue with the 11+ 5th gen explorers.. the aluminum is contaminated from the factory and the paint flakes. No way to fix it without replacing the hood and prepping the new one properly. Ford started a 5yr unlimited mile warranty on the aluminum for 2016+ Explorers and told the 11-15 owners to pound sand.

Let's look at it a different way, if they are uninvited, why not take them down once they got uninvited as a sign of good will since they know once the uninvited came, Ford is pissed they published them. No, of course not, let's keep them up on their site because it draws clicks and advertisement.

If Ford is punishing them so severely, it makes ZERO sense that Ford would not have reached out to them and request they take them down. Clearly Ford is pissed off and they would not just be silent towards TFL. I believe Ford in this case over TFL.

I usually enjoy their videos but I am always critical when professional reviewers state incorrect info. If you are going to be a professional reviewer, then know your stuff. IE - fordpass works from satellites... um no, it uses 4G cell signals.. not satellites.

Lmao, so just about everything they comain about on the 2nd lowest trim is fixed on the higher trims. Answer - Buy a higher trim, tbats why manufacturers do that. Idiot!

Cyber Orange on the GT..

No 4wd option? And I almost had my father converted to buying one until I saw that.

He says it has the same engine as the ST but with more power. Then lists it as 400hp and 415tq which is exactly what the ST has. Then the PHEV has even MORE power. When you sre a professional reviewer, get your facts straight.. every stupid mistake takes away from credibility, both good and bad.

My dealership that does all my servicing is probably 60% empty. I have never seen their lot this empty in the 13+ years I have dealt with them. And it is an Autofair so they are not small.

Anybody know what the tax credit would be on this?

It isn't easier to use. With the piano keys, you have to look at the buttons to push them. The rotary is all there in a dial. You know exactly where you are when turning it as opposed to which button do I have to push.

you can see smoke from the tires when the brakes were hit... but way too late. #Autopilot

Couldn't have said it better.

Guess I should have read the last sentence lol
