And Ranger was an Edsel name....what's your point.

What would have been stupid is if they went with Ranchero. They didn't, so giving it a new, never used name on the product, they should also consider new trim level names....first two gives you something familiar and Mariner (or something similar) can now be an upscale trim level.

Trim levels are reported to be XL, XLT and Mariner.

So, no on the Ford Pro?

Wonder if F-53/59 chassis will still be available with a galvanized frame.

So, the thought should be Ford Pro needs to be rolled out at rental fleets...

Is it? After the "State Contract" price kicks in??

But Ford will routinely turn their backs on it as it is considered (insert gasp here) a fleet sale.....can't have too many of them.

They could've "wow'ed" me with more $$ but they didn't.....anyone want a leftover Mustang?

Talking about sales, I took a 50 minute drive to a neighboring town to look at a leftover 2025 Mustang 60th anniversary convertible in Race Red....sharp but was perplexed about why such an exciting car was languishing on the lot...apparently there is a "stop sale" on it due to a wiper issue (wont work as designed in freezing temps) and I could not even test drive it. But, their offer was a joke for my trade (would have to wholesale it....sure) and they "generously" offered 3K off sticker...the part needed to make the recall repair has been on order since March....I told the sales manager, "You know the window to enjoy this car is closing in 30-45 days..." He shrugged his shoulders and claimed there was not much he could do.....needless to say, I left.

You tell me....I don't know the breakdown of fleet sales and don't you think Ford would continue those sales but with BS instead? Explorer is up because it is better than most every three row out there.

Well, the first excuse was, "we'll transition Escape buyers to Bronco Sport" (didn't happen), then the "we'll transition Corsair buyers to Nautilus" excuse also fell flat, you'dve though when Edge buyers did not transition to Explorer they would have come up with something different.

Nice catch.....lol

Apparently, Kuga is not as boring in the EU as Escape was to NA...

That certainly does suck....hope they get a fix in sooner.

Snap a picture of it.....post it here.

What?!?! Not google share links and then tell me what to search for on my own browser?

To practice their welding skills? Seriously, did you ask the dealership you bought it from?

Or, you could add the link instead of using "google share" ... https://www.autoblog.com/news/gm-eyes-1-billion-army-deal-for-10000-colorado-based-vehicles

2026 Ford Maverick Brahma 300T

On the NYS Thruway, the toll booths had been physically removed years ago....

Seeing the toll booth layout - my first thought was "They got Sonny Corleone'ed"

Flat Rock with modifications would handily build out Nautilus and Corsair as both are C2 based and they just took the C2 production lines out of Louisville, seems to be the least impactful way forward for Lincoln. Or, move production to Cuautitlan since GE1 is essentially a C2 EV chassis.

Thats the first thing I thought when I saw it....looks very Lyriq-ish to me.

Looks like a cut n paste of a Cadillac Lyriq
