I was thinking of the old Land Rovers where you could close the top and keep the bottom open. Providing a ledge to stand on. Appears no modern SUV does that.

A split tailgate would be fantastic! Especially for people who carry things on the roof like skis or kayaks.

I wonder if this gives a quick boost to Mach-E and Lightning sales. The biggest reason to get a Tesla is their charging network, which is by far the most robust and reliable. Couple access to that network with the price cuts/rebates on the Mach-E and suddenly you’re a fair bit cheaper than the Model Y. With Minimal difference in charging experience.

Dang! Thanks for the info. Guess I’ll be waiting till they change the base port to buy a Lightning.

Does anyone know if you can use this adaptor on home charging with a Tesla charger. We have a Model Y and a gas F-150… if I got a lightning, I’d prefer to not have two charging stations at my house.

The ability to easily tap into the 12V system in the bed is great as well. We added a 12V outlet back there for an inverter and large Anker battery . Charges the battery while driving. Battery pack then keeps tools charged when on sites (or fridge for camping).

We just bought our first Maverick for work last month. Canopy on top to keep equipment dry and haul Ladders. So far so good. It’s a test run for us to replace transit connects as Ford isn’t making them going forward. Now if only we could get an AWD Hybrid version. And adaptive cruise on an XLT. ?

The grille is a tad too bronze but overall I like it.

Please bring out a small/medium cargo van. ?.

Looks like the first domino to fall post-new deal. I can only assume this it to head off any efforts to unionize Toyotas plants. https://www.autoblog.com/2023/11/01/toyota-raises-pay-across-the-board-in-response-to-historic-uaw-deals/

Been charging my Y at home for about two months now. I pay $0.0743 per kWh. When I use a super charger it’s $0.21 per kWh.

First of all, those poor babies. Hopefully she no longer has parental rights to them as she clearly isn’t concerned with their well being. Second of all, I live near Portland and we have a TON of trouble with shop lifting. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of an hour long trip to shop lift. They try to get in and out in under 5 minutes to avoid bringing attention to themselves. Clearly not a very bright individual.

Assuming regulatory requirements don’t force fully BEV lineup, Ford still has all of the plans and specs from previous models. Worst to worst they will put the ICE vehicles back/continue production. Perhaps with emergency refreshes. My guess is if there is a large scale pullback on BEV production timelines, the entire industry will have this same query. So it won’t be as detrimental for competitiveness.

Still way too long. The 2020 Explorer went on sale June of 2019. We are talking about close to 5 years before a refresh. For a vehicle that was widely panned as taking a step back on the interior design/materials. Ford really needs to stick to 3 year refresh, 2 more before new top hat.

Wow. How can UAW rank and file sit there be ok with Fain representing all of them? I have a lightning order that just shipped. I am thinking I will hold off until any Ford purchase until he is gone. Might just end up with a new Tundra after all. I refuse to support a racist and anti-Semite. I guarantee there are many more (liberal or conservative) who will act in kind to this.
