I would really love to see a 5.0L V8 option. The Explorer is the only RWD based SUV in this class that doesn't offer a V8 option. The 3.0EB ST is great, but an XLT or Limited with a Coyote would be amazing.

Good point, but I'm willing to be a Bell's Two Hearted Ale that it is.

Not much is known about the new 6.8L V8 other than it's 7.3L Godzilla based. It could have an aluminum block, direct injection, built for boost, etc. I can't wait to learn more about it.

I think they want to test the limit before they crack it open. 1100HP with a stock bottom end without blowing up is pretty awesome. And it sounded fantastic as well!

A Metris sized van based on the Maverick would be better here than the current TC.

I found these on Facebook.

From what I've seen of the next "Fusion", it seems to overlap a lot sizewise with the Mach E. I'd rather replace my current Fusion Sport with a Mach E at this point. But if the next Fusion would be available with RWD and the Explorer's 3.0TT or a Coyote, I'd rather go in that direction. Another FWD based crossover-wagon thing does nothing for me.

Here's some more info on NASCAR's Next Gen car: https://www.thedrive.com/accelerator/32447/the-updates-that-could-drag-nascar-out-of-the-dark-ages-in-2021

It's really nice and to me, looks better in person. But, I would take a GT500 any day.

There are many people that would rather have the extra cargo room than the 3rd-row seat. Overlanders, businesses, people using it for towing, etc. Why pay for something you never use.

The 6.7PS is a $8455 option over the 7.3Gas. You can buy a lot of gas for $8455 plus the money you save on maintenance.

Does it have adaptive cruise control?

The DRW converted E-Series vans used hinged doors, not sliders. There's no way a slider would be able to clear that fender. Ford doesn't offer hinged doors on the Mid & High roof Transits.

I've driven a few passenger & cargo models of the mid-roof Transit and from experience, they are very stable. From behind the wheel, you would never know that the roof was so tall. The tall roof with DRW seems to handle well on the track too.

1) I agree, there should be a nicer version with more comfortable, bigger seats at the expense of less seating. 2) I don't think a DRW sticking out of the body would work with the sliding door. The Chateau was available on E150 and E350 through 2007. After that, they offered the "XLT Premium" which was basically the same thing as the Chateau until they stopped making E-Series passenger vans. Conversion vans are still available. Camper conversions are very popular right now. Sprinters are the #1 choice and the Promasters are gaining traction with their low floor. Exactly! The seats in the Sprinter are much nicer. Maybe Ford is thinking that if you want to haul people in nicer seats, buy an Expedition.

If not, let's start one and hope it happens.

Why not both? I belong to a few Raptor Facebook groups and forums and I can say without a doubt that many Raptor owners will be trading their trucks in on the Hellcat TRX. From what I see, about half, if not more, of the Raptor owners in these groups are not "Ford" guys. They are the type of people that rush out to by the latest & greatest. For many of them, their Raptor is their first and only Ford. If Ford wants to retain these types of customers, they need to make the GT500 powertrain (or maybe even the 7.3) available in the next Raptor.

I was really disappointed that you can't get the 3.5 EcoBoost and/or AWD in the SWB.

Maybe improved cooling for a 5.0L V8? ?

They should put Nitto Ridge Grapplers on them.

Not a big fan of spec engines in a series like the NGOTS, especially when they can run a detuned version of the Cup engine.

Mach E Electric & Mach 1 Hybrid.

I bet it'll be electric and based on VW's ID Buzz Cargo concept. At least I hope.

Maybe it'll be a performance hybrid?
