Ford has had a diesel in the 15 F150 for a while now testing. I am sure if Ford thinks there is a big enough market where it will not hurt other sales then they will go ahead with it.

I didn't see this posted anywhere and stumbled upon it today. http://blog.caranddriver.com/gm-settling-with-ignition-switch-crash-victims-using-no-limit-fund-payouts-start-this-fall/

3.73 electronic locking.

There is a gt350 and gt500 in the Ford computer system. I was told an estimated 750hp with the gt500 that Ford is launching. I don't have any further info regarding specifics but if Ford was not launching both, they would not have it in their system.

You are so right.. It is amazing the amount of electrical issues I had with my wife's A4. From the moonroof closing on it's own to the headlights not turning on or shutting off.. windows not always rolling up completely.. ughh.. german crap.. If it wasn't for all the electrical issues, it would have been an outstanding car. Never again.

Will be no match for the new GT500..

Ya, I am going to skip a 17 and hopefully be into an 18. Curious on how much shifting there will be in towing with that many gears. Should be some solid mpgs on highway unloaded though.

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/gm-recalls-another-7-6-183406990.html there is a chart in the link above that lists the models and how many of each.

Oh, forgot to add that the 2017 has the 10 speed transmission in it.

There is a forum for tracking vehicles.

Cyberdman, I appreciate all the tracking help you have given me as well as others. I found out there were issues with this truck which is why it sat for 5 weeks. He decided to refuse this truck because of the issues I found out about and he is taking a 15 KR that just rolled off the assembly line a couple days ago. Since he is not taking that truck, there is no further need for tracking (it showed up yesterday at the dealer). Again, much appreciated and enjoy your 2 weeks free from all of us.

I actually know the tester who was driving this truck.. I know it is the 2017 model, this was a complete setup with the magazine to get rumors flying but they met with Ford on this to take pictures and publish. It is aluminum and will have HID and LED headlight options. I love how the magazine writes it that they they pretty much snuck a magnet and to test the bed when Ford knew very well what was going to happen.

Was told it is on a train somewhere. 1FT7X2AT2FEA49792 Thanks

I'm willing to bet this is the exhaust smell coming in from the rear vents and not a gasoline issue. Lawsuits have finally started down in Florida.. seems they picked up the story but don't have all the facts. http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=410119 1,200 posts, 200,000+ views http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=323597

It's at a point for me that it just isn't news anymore.. It's just every day life with GM. If you are expecting it, it is no surprise. The more they continue to do it, the less of a negative impact it will have to the average person's perception of GM IMO. My perception of them can't get any worse lol. The new CEO is cleaning house and addressing all the issues no matter how small it seems which is a great thing. Just a shame that it has to be so many issues.

This will be one hot little hatch if true. http://ca.autoblog.com/2014/06/19/2016-ford-focus-rs-spy-shots/

It finally showed up. Thanks for tracking it!!

Bump 1FT7X2AT2FEA49792 Thanks

Seems to be 3.4 million now. https://autos.yahoo.com/blogs/motoramic/gm-recalls-3-4-million-impalas--regals-and-others-for-yet-more-key-troubles-204437489.html

Also to add to the recalls updates.. http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/international/business/4-months-into-general-motors-recall-only-7-of-cars-fixed/articleshow/36677450.cms

Not a lot of information yet.. http://abcnews.go.com/Business/gm-announces-ignition-switch-recall-32-million-vehicles/story?id=24164074 Every website thus far only has this info stating that more info will be coming.

I give up.

Bumping for tomorrow. Thanks!! 1FT8W3BTXFEA30029

Then he is trying to take credit for something he didn't do OR hacked the Ford website. As I said, I went onto Ford.com to check it out before I posted as I didn't want to post about something fake. When I was on the Ford site and selected the mustang, it brought me to the 2014 model and couldn't figure out how to get to the 2015 site. So I googled "2015 Ford mustang" and then clicked on this "http://www.ford.com/cars/mustang/2015/?searchid=79341629%7C%7C25486804491&ef_id=UyD0bAAAAV0yHjuf:20140615144249:s" It was right there on their website, first picture of the 5. I then right clicked to try and save the picture but it would only allow me to save the page (must be the webpage format they use as I usually can right click and save picture). So instead of saving the page or taking a screen shot, I just used the jpeg in the comments section of the article. Whether you choose to believe me or not is up to you. I have no reason to lie or make this crap up. You can also see that it is the exact same size, font and style as the graphics up there now. I would think it would be a little off if someone photoshopped it in trying to find the exact same writing Ford uses (maybe not).

That is probably why it was taken down in a matter of a few hours. Funny as hell but I agree, not a smart move with the issues Ford just announced.
