  1. I thought hackett was without fail.....3 years after the fact and now he ends up being useless to the cause (market share decline)
  2. It was marketed as such..that was it...it was for f250 buyers where the volume resides....i agree it has applications but pushing it towards "tree services" is somewhat fanciful thought...it may end up being an engine looking for a niche market above f350
  3. Be interesting to see how this shakes out with the 7.3...it will work for f250 buyers...its a fail depending on application with f350...would not even consider the 7.3 above f350....shove the dam thing in the stang for one last swan song
  4. "Extra plastic cladding" ...idiots are at least honest with there garbage marketing
  5. Ford has room for improvement especially with interiors....used powestroke f350 will be my next purchase and i will rip off all the epa crap....bought my last new ford product in 2013...dont care what they do going forward...
  6. Nothing to stir the emotions...boring as hell along with subdued body style...bronc(light) best describes the utilitarian aspect....ford went for average bell curve and kept it "safe"....36 months will tell how well ford picked its market share
  7. Escape is cheap looking and the competition is light years ahead in refinement...escape interior reeks extreme cheapness (as hell) compared to yota and honda offerings...thinking car buyers would move up to a ford suv is fallacy (fanciful thought) as opposed to reality....the whole concept of such belief was utter stupidiy from the start
  8. The cross shopping of escape to a bronc is utter comical in belief....few ads by heep in making the comparison surely would be funny as hell.....i bet ford marking is pulling fist full size hair from the scalp at this point....go ahead and run your comparison...be sure and add in how well the explorer is also "bronc like".....psychosis has set in for the ford lot salesmen and owners.....ford is the new over 60 buyers lot.....
  9. The targeted demographics for both escape and edge has to be over 60...interiors are pathetic and exterior styling is at best "mundane"...eco sport if ford keeps it "fresh" and "youthful sporty" could be a decent seller....bottom line though on ecosport is the msrp....ford cutting into heep sales will be of interest to watch (bronc)...old mans truck company now...if one has no interest in sport related stickers there is not much left on a ford lot
  10. Last i heard fields was pumping gas with elvis on 13 mile road (near wolfies liquor emporium)
  11. Ford is an old mans company now...mundane, boring as hell buick similiarity, geriatric vehicles...$51k for a mustang 5.0 and bronco will quickly follow....for the youth may be bangladesh is the hope...fields has to rediect perception of the brand quickly...
  12. An uncorked 2013 f350 6.7PS pulling a 37' camper will return 18.5mpg...i am doing over 20mpg without the load....the gassers are pathetic (mpg) regardless of how it is spinned by the blue kool aid fanatics....
  13. Detroit...not much else to say..property tax bill is greater than what you can sell the house for...if ford f's up that mustang i will not set foot on a ford lot ever again...screw a dam 4 door mustang...
  14. Fords interiors are subpar compared to the competition...single cab f350 shortbed with lariet trim would be nice...ford has left the youth..old mans car company as of now...
  15. Good news....ford screwed the pooch badly with that garbage power-mill...
  16. I seem to remember posting my thoughts on this several years ago..but you know, fanatical blue kool- aid drinkers go rabid quickly....edge was not worth the investment by ford after 2018....
  17. I was told the atp was fords golden ticket to nirvana.....
  18. About $2300 (driveway install) to remove the epa garbage on any 6.7..we are on our 3rd conversion...crap is gone and it becomes a truck....20mpg on the 2012 6.7 (f350) without the choke hold on the diesel has been done......looking for a low mileage 2014 f350 now...the 7.3 can rot on the lot..not worth even considering
  19. Ford technology is reminiscent of cheap china knock-offs....
  20. This potential issue was discussed back in the day and as usual was ignored...kanada is dumping the AL....epa and regs on smelters can be added in as well...
  21. Atp crowd is going to need more meds....drug companies is the smart play
  22. I do not see detroit lasting thru 2040...bought a used 2012 f350 and trashed all the garbage on on the engine...6.7 runs like a real diesel now
  23. I can only only describe the drivetrain as weaker than what was installed in the amc pacer
