  1. Or, get a single cab truck and never have to worry about rear seat passengers since there are none....lol
  2. Meanwhile, last time Chevy Blazer was on Maury...
  3. Not for sale, but Ford IS working on it....article is from 2023 though and it is for a UK based project....but they have a finger in the pie so to speak... https://www.fromtheroad.ford.com/eur/en/articles/2023/ford-announces-three-year-hydrogen-fuel-cell-e-transit-trial
  4. Here's to hoping so....I really like my Maverick, so it will be interesting to see how this new truck stacks up...I am almost ready to join the EV crowd.
  5. I may be wrong (not the first time...) but didn't the GMC version start out as Jimny?
  6. I believe that "the Edsel moment" was the aborted 3 row EV SUV planned for Oakville....thankfully, that thing got dragged out back behind the barn and was mercifully put out of its misery early enough on to be but a distant (albeit bad) memory.
  7. Rome NY - Martin St. VP Racing gas station (formerly Sunoco) Stopped yesterday (4/09/26) for gas - regular unleaded (E10 blended) was $3.99 cash, or $4.09 for CC use.
  8. They didn't mothball it - they tore it out. Now, if they took the removed C2 production line and moved it to OHAP, that would be an interesting development.
  9. When I brought my Maverick in for service, they offered me a ride back home and the vehicle they used was a 2026 Nautilus hybrid....I will say it was definitely a nicely appointed vehicle.
  10. Yes, I read that...I'll go with the "unofficial" announcement until the "official" Lincoln one comes out...Nautilus sales prove that your average Lincoln customer does not give a crap where it's built.
  11. @Bob Rosadini, @7Mary3 or @Joe771476 what do you think?
  12. Since the Cummins Octane is a 6.7L, I would wonder if Ford could save a few more $$ and offer the 6.8L version of Godzilla and have a comparable result performance wise....just a thought.
  13. Bu..bu..bu...but, Hemi? I said HEMI?!? Hemi will save us all in Dodg....Errr, RAM land.
  14. I don't think you'll get a reply from him - he has not been back here since 11/07/2021....
  15. Yes....yes it was. Glad someone was paying attention. LOL
  16. Ford keeps "going to the well" about anything that is groundbreaking and claiming it is their "Model T moment" when if you study it...CE1 would be more like their "Model A moment" since Ford stubbornly clung to Model T while the competition zoomed past Ford in sales and market share as Hank continued to soldier on with the Model T.....When Model A was introduced, it was radically different in every way and was a huge success.
  17. Remember when Toyota and Nissan entered the truck wars? Everyone thought it was over for the big three... Toyota does dominate in midsize trucks with their perennial top seller Tacoma but Tundra, Titan and even Frontier are all sputtering along while Ford, GM and RAM own the truck market.....will it last? Maybe...but don't get your hopes up. Competition improves the breed for sure, but I don't see anything changing dramatically in the truck wars.
  18. NYS already collects a "tire recycling fee" on every new tire sale and it is an included "line charge" when you buy a new car. Some states also have annual safety inspections that include minimum tire tread depth. Take a look at Facebook Marketplace - used tires abound there.
  19. I would presume that any block heater kit available from Ford should include instructions on how to install it and properly wire it into the vehicle including wire routing. I would check with the dealer and see if they have a kit and if so, does it have that info with it.
  20. Well, looking at their offerings, it would be an interesting turn of events and also validate that Ford was correct when they moved away from Navistar and brought their Mediums in-house. The only issue I see is that in GM world, everything rises and sets on the "small block" Chevrolet design and they really need to develop a bespoke "truck" motor, if not, their rumored move "in-house" will be short lived.
