Wasn't expecting the truck to be full size.

It would be easier for Scout to come out with a Mid-size truck first and then try to move up.

Bought* technically Brought Mercury

One would think and hope Oakville gets F-150 production as well.

1. He wants to make money. That means you do not invest in one fund that heavily. 2. He doesn't have billions in liquidity just sitting around doing nothing. Just like Musk, most of their wealth is tied to stocks. They would have to give up stock in other items to invest that heavily in another company.

I believe the other boxy Lincoln that was shown to the dealers several years ago was the Rivian-based Lincoln that was planned, not Bronco-based.

February is usually the lowest selling month to begin with, so the sub-50 does not concern me especially considering the fire.

A Lincoln dealer owner I know told me they were told the Corsair would come from China.

If anyone wants to see El cheapo, take a look at the back seat of the new Honda Prelude.

I think a full-size Bronco would work well. It would be a much better option than a Sequoia TRD Pro.

Given the EV market, the ICE Maverick is not going anywhere. And good reusing the Escape name for the crossover.

I would note the LC70 is a great seller in the Middle East and Africa as well serving the same roles in Australia...and maybe a few many terrorists. Hopefully Ford can move into the LC70's market without the latter use issue.

Interesting given the flips on restarting Indian production. Maybe this is why they canceled restarting production there. This would give Ford a plant to build non-BOF vehicles since the Ranger and Everest dominate the other plant.

Time to dust off the "Red Label" trademark...

Just noting: Ford sales were up 5.44% in Canada: https://www.fromtheroad.ford.com/ca/en/articles/2026/ford-canada-2025-sales-highlights That is a good piece of profit added to US sales.

If it is option #2, that could allow the Maverick to slightly downsize in a next generation. Thus allowing it to keep its lower price.

Well, we already have a F-600, so if there is a F-100, we might as well add an F-200, F-300, F-400, and F-500 while we are at it.

Well I doubt they would use Escort. If we are talking about a platform-sharing sedan to the Mustang, then Falcon would be the logical choice.

I can't imagine the Ranger going anywhere since we have the Bronco. The only thing I would wish is for the Ranger to move to TAP, add the Everest, and an Everest-based Lincoln. This would open up production for the Bronco in MAP with the potential to add the shelved Bronco pickup. This would allow Ford to add a competitor to the 4Runner, GX, and Gladiator all in one stroke.

If it is going to be sub-$30,000, then I wonder if it would actually be smaller than the Maverick. Fiat Strada sized: I mean if you are going to expand the truck lineup, then subcompact is the only way to go since you already cover compact, mid-size, full size, etc.

So, when is the media day for Ford?

Or the Mustang II 🤪

Looks like F-150 production at Dearborn is back to normal, KC is still down, but Super Duty production is mostly back. Hopefully January is fully back to normal for all.

What's with the crotch shot?

Let's stop the doom and gloom for a minute about loss of Ford nameplates. Right now, Ford has more global nameplates that what it did in the 1960s. Yes, compared to say the 1980s and 1990s, it has less. But those years were very inefficient when you had two compact cars, two mid-size cars, and two full size cars at times in the same markets. And that is not even global.
