I've just been reading articles about the new -- but rather ugly -- new USPS delivery truck which looks like a duck! Maybe they should call it just that..the duck truck! But last I knew about 6 months ago, this Oshkosh manufactured vehicle was supposedly going to be based on a Ford Transit, but there's no mention of that in the latest articles. Is anybody here privy to that info?

An F750 had a dubious honor when the driver tried to drive across a covered bridge in Maine and the truck broke through the floor!

It says patents with a "t."

Why are they showing at some points an F550? Which brings me to my next question: Isn't it time for the latest generation F150 thru F550 sheet metal to replace the old generation cab?

Sad huh?

Americans aren't going to be able to afford SUV's etc. much longer! The electricity supplier Eversource is charging customers an exorbitant PUBLIC BENEFITS fee to pay for non-paying customers including illegal immigrants. Mine is only $29 because I figured out ways to keep my bill at $65/mo. for two people. But most people are paying $100 to $200 or more a month for this fee alone! That could go toward a monthly car payment! I'm glad they did it BEFORE the election so now people know what to do in November! Anyway, if Toyota sold almost 300K Camrys in 2023, it's not that bad of a segment to be in! If Ford wants to save money, stop continuing to make EV's!!

How many different style wheels and hubcaps do you need? Do you really need 10 speed wipers? Do you need 10 speed transmissions? My wife's 1996 Nissan Sentra had a 5 speed overdrive manual transmission which when in 5th gear, the rpm's would go down to 1000 rpm. I could get 52 MPG with that car! That's why when I'm on an interstate highway or sometimes a secondary state road and I'm approaching a half mile or more stretch of downhill roadway, I put my car into neutral! I stay far enough away from cars in front of me before I start this process so I don't need to tap brakes that much.

F-series is F-series. Sales figures should not stop at F450 just to make it easier for competitors seem to be competitive! It should be from F150 to F750.

Something's wrong. Sounds like sabotage to me.

Watch ten episodes of American Greed TV show. Then you'll find out what you're dealing with! Also, NEVER bring in your car to a new car dealer unless it's for warranty work. And even then, they'll tell you need this and that (NOT under warranty), which you don't really need! I buy 10 year old Fords, drive them for another ten years and get 300K to 480K miles on them! Just keep the oil full, and coolant full at proper protection mixture. Your cars will last forever! I don't do oil changes either. Go ahead and laugh; I'm laughing all the way to the bank!

Just like Powerball is the official lottery game of NASCAR! You're kidding right? Do these Wall St. ad companies really believe we're that stupid? Actually, they do! Truth is, 75% of Americans are dumber than toast! It was 50% twenty years ago, but every subsequent generation gets dumber because our teachers are getting dumber.

I just read that PACCAR (KW/Pete) is recalling a ton of 2024 and 2025 model year trucks for a couple issues, one being steering problems. Same article says it is laying off workers hired after May 2023. While I don't remember why and I'm too lazy right now to go back to article. But apparently they must feel that these new hires are responsible maybe???!!!

Does Toyota own NASCAR? It seems like it! I see some Ford and Ram truck drying vehicles on the track during cautions and red flags due to rain, but there are also several Toyota Tundra track driers and the announcers say, "We see the air Tundras are drying the track." Really? What about the other brands?!!! The only TV ads are Toyota; I see no Ford or GM commercials. Funny, since I have a list of rules from the 1960's and one rule was, "There will be no foreign brand race cars in NASCAR!" Uh huh.

You're right! But there doesn't seem to be anybody with brains at Ford anymore! They blew more than $10 billion on EV's! No more Escapes, Edges, gave the sedan segment police cruiser biz to Chrysler/Stellantis, sold farm tractor biz, heavy duty class 8 truck biz, paid a fortune ($10 billion?) for Aston-Martin and Jaguar/Land Rover and sold it for pennies on the dollar!

Sounds like this could be brewing into an episode of the TV show American Greed. Have you ever watched it? I go from gut wrenching to hysterical laughter watching this show. There is no middle ground. You just won't believe what some of these politicians, people portraying themselves as doctors, financial advisors, bank executives, art dealers, and guys exuding millions of pills out of a machine in their cellar are doing to greedy and naive investors, retirees, people who are ill, and even astute millionaires!!!! Stacy Keach narrates and his jabs and delivery are funny and impeccable.
