2023 Super Duty Orders & Discussion
Flying68 replied to ice-capades's topic in F-Series SuperDuty Forum
Build and price won't allow 3.55 with FX4 on a diesel. If you try to add it, it forces removal of FX4. -

Every Mach-e that I have seen in inventory on a dealer lot is a standard range model. I suspect there are not many people wanting standard range models.

2024 Nautilus -- Feedback for Ford/Lincoln Management
Flying68 replied to jcwCT's topic in Lincoln Motor Company Discussion
I am also adverse to buying a Nautilus built in China. I would have preferred a Nautilus BEV built in NA. Mildly disappointed in the powertrain option, would have like to see a 2.7 or a bit more power from the hybrid or even a PHEV version. Might change my mind when the first few hit the dealer and I can look. -
Ford Adding AM Radio Back Into Vehicle
Flying68 replied to ANTAUS's topic in Ford Motor Company Discussion Forum
KOA in Denver "The 50,000 Watt Blowtorch" was similar, you could pick it up a long ways away (to the east) on a good night. Coincidently, AM is also the same frequency band that ADF's in airplanes use. A lot of older airplanes still have ADF antenna's and you can tune in an AM station to listen too while flying and get a bearing at the same time. -

Ford Says Explorer Is Not a 'Motor Vehicle' Under Ohio Lemon Law
Flying68 replied to SoonerLS's topic in Ford Motor Company Discussion Forum
Only if it has a payload capacity of greater than 2000 lbs. Unfortunately the law was probably written back when a 1-ton only had a 2000 lb payload and not today's 4000 lb payload. -

'23 Mustang MachE Drops $4K at Upper End
Flying68 replied to ANTAUS's topic in Ford Motor Company Discussion Forum
This! The main reason for separating out EV's from ICE and commercial is the significant investment required for EV. Made the whole company look bad together, but when split out investors can see 10% operating margins in other parts of the business and can weigh the EV margins more in line with pure EV companies. -

Electrostatic painting is often used in order to reduce waste and get better coverage, probably not a good idea to do that with a high voltage battery installed.

2024 Lincoln Nautilus Order Guide
Flying68 replied to ice-capades's topic in Lincoln Nautilus / MKX Forum
The e-cvt is not a traditional cvt. It is basically a fixed gear reduction drive with an electric motor mounted to it. The output ratio is varied by how much input or retard is applied to that same gearset thus changing the effective final output ratio from the ICE engine. -

New light & medium duty news
Flying68 replied to Joe771476's topic in Ford Motor Company Discussion Forum
1947 or 48 8-N was what I learned on. Was the only tractor on my grandfather's ranch. After he passed, it eventually was stolen because of the remote location and nobody living on the property. But now my dad has acquired 20 ford tractors from the late 40's to the 50's including a couple Jubilees, an 801, a 901, 2 Awesome Henry V8 conversions, and the rest are all 8-N's. Don't think he has any 9-N's. -

Towing Weight Confusion; RGAWR vs Payload Limit
Flying68 replied to Diesel Dude's topic in F-Series SuperDuty Forum
Technical answer here: Payload is GVWR - Curb weight. GVWR is the maximum vehicle weight that the vehicle is designed and tested to for DOT purposes. Often in order to achieve that GVWR, it requires axle ratings that when combined are greater than the GVWR. This is so that the vehicle can accommodate a multitude of loading configurations from full pax and minimal payload in the bed, to driver only with a max bumper pull trailer on the back and the bed loaded with the rest of the weight. In both these scenarios, the total weight of the truck can be exactly the same, but the individual axle weights would be quite different. -
