They should be getting into the transit bus, school bus (joint venture with Bluebird, since the first Bluebird bus was on a Ford chassis while International and Freightliner already have their own school bus divisions), locomotive/railcar, farm tractor, Class 8 truck, construction equipment biz! How do you like dem apples??!!

Gee, I sold auto parts from 1966 to 1996 and I've been repairing my own cars for longer. Pontiacs had timing chain issues. The only other GM issue was starters. The only other GM issue was starters. Same for Chrysler and Ford. And that was it! Mid-80's Fords had Control Module issues. It was mounted in front wheel housing. You loosened two bolts and unplugged electrical connections and in 5 minutes you were done. There were only three headlight part numbers that fit GM, Chrysler and Ford. A fourth was the 6 Volt for VW Beetles. Fifteen air filter part numbers were all you needed for all three mfrs. There were no recalls. We've made no progress! On a side note, Farley says AI will eliminate 50 % of white collar jobs. What are these people going to do? Watch and listen to the lyrics of the link below. Virtually nothing has change in 60 years! Very sad. In Terminator 2, the young John Connor says to the original Terminator (Arnold), "We're not going to make it, are we?" The Terminator says, "You have a tendency to destroy yourselves." We haven't learned a damn thing from the Terminator and Matrix movies!!!! (819) Barry McGuire - Eve Of Destruction - YouTube

I pay no attention to JD Power. A company can get them to say anything if they qualify it enough. You know, like best car made on a Tuesday at 4:01 PM when the sun was shining on an even numbered day!

I was just thinking the other day that I haven't seen more than maybe two Hino trucks here in CT in the last couple months, when a few years ago I would see 20 a day. I also hardly ever see a Mercedes Sprinter van. I see a ton of F650/750's and Transit vans though!

What's up where two lines have the same numbers for Mustang and Ford Trucks?

Gee, I thought Tesla sales were tanking from boycotting Musk.

Yeah I get it, but checking behind my car and looking around for kids always worked. Yeah I know, things can change in 5 seconds. Okay, what about seat warmers? Why do we even need them? Just a fluff. Do car mfrs. have to recall cars if there's a problem with them? Does a warning light appear on the dash for something that trivial and unnecessary? Does it affect the computer? It shouldn't, but who knows these days. I wish I had my 67 Mustang. No nonsense, I could do any repair on it myself, no engine or oil/maintenance required lights, no emission crap. My 1985 Ford had a fender-mounted control module (Standard ignition part # was LX203) that I had to change once or twice in 15 years and that was it! No computer analysis was needed. If the car didn't start it was the coil, module or fuel pump. All easily replaced. Oh well.

Are rear view cameras a requirement? Why do they offer them? A Federal safety law? I don't need them; I have eyes and mirrors..

Maybe Ford needs to hire us BON guys! I'll do the job for $50,000 and no pension or medical plan is required. Send me an application Ford. To paraphrase an old Ford slogan, "Have you seen any intelligence at Ford lately?"

The Magical Mystery Tour is waiting to take you away, dying to take you away........... As if lawyers aren't already getting paid too much!

You're kidding, right? (585) Another Stupid Ford Design - YouTube

Portland CT: $2.89/gal for 87 octane. Almost all gas stations.

Dropping the Escape, Taurus, Edge are/were some of the dumbest moves Ford has ever made. If I didn't know better, I'd call it corporate sabotage.

This is just one reason why I don't buy new vehicles anymore. In fact I won't buy anything newer than a 2012-ish vehicle.

A short cute funny video apparently from Ford Otosan I think. (571) Kahraman Ford Cargo 1846T - Otoajanda - YouTube
