  1. Maybe the changes will become more obvious when its not camoed or in police trim. I think the aviator looks amazing so my hopes were high for the explorer to look equally as good. Its still a nice looking vehicle regardless.
  2. seems silly to completely redesign a vehicle, but then make it look the same as a vehicle that came out in 2011. Besides the grill, I dont think the average person will notice the difference. Hell, I have a hard time seeing any difference besides the grill and the sloping roof line without seeing a picture of them side by side. That grill just doesnt look finished. id hope that is a police only version. At least it doesnt have a floating roof. Wish there were some pics of the interior
  3. when you say mondeo based utility, do you mean like a fusion active or another cuv like the edge? Id still like to see the Everest come here too.
  4. I kinda like the hood, but I think the Bullitt looks better overall
  5. Dumb question, but what model comes with the 2 lcd screens in the instrument panel like the edge, explorer, and fusion have? I initially thought it would come on any model with sync 3, but I looked at the standard equipment and the xl comes with a 3.5 screen in the ip, xlt comes with a 4.2, and the lariat comes with two 4.2 screens. The 301a package on the xlt is the one that includes sync 3. I read that packages description and it only shows one 4.2 screen in the ip. Fx4 versions state that is has an off-road screen in the cluster which makes me think thats only one screen as well. Sounds like the two screens in the ip might be exclusive to lariat which is a bummer because I use that all the time to control the radio and air conditioner in my fusion.
  6. My biggest issue with the price is like fuzzy said, you dont get much. Even the Colorado comes standard with a touchscreen on the WT. you cant get one on an xl. And its part of a $995 option on the xlt. Sport appearance package requires at least 301a. It does come with copilot 360 that the other brands dont so I guess that offsets some of the difference. If you look at other midsize trucks, they arent really offering any rebates. If that holds true for the ranger then you could possibly have f150s with 10k off msrp almost Selling for the same price as the ranger. I might be in the minority here, but Im cross shopping the ranger vs compact SUVs and you get a lot more bang for your buck with lets say an escape titanium. Id like to have a truck but I can do 90% of what it can do in a small suv. If I can get a vehicle that is loaded and only slightly smaller in size, and can do 90% of what Id do in a truck that also saves me thousands of dollars, Ill pick it over a pretty bare ranger every time.
  7. XL 4 door with 101a, sport appearance package, trailer package, spray in bed liner and black running boards for just over $32k seems pretty pricey. A similarly equipped Colorado WT is about $29.5
  8. Theres also supposed to be a new vehicle at Woodward as well. Rumors are that one is supposed to be a mustang variant.
  9. Wish I took a screenshot of the xlt I built, but the magnetic color with the grey trim and wheels of the sport appearance package looked really good together.
  10. I built an xlt and one of the rear wheels was missing from the picture. You could see the axle but no wheel.
  11. Supercrew xl fx4 stx with towing package was around $37k. Thats definitely more than I was wanting to spend. I tried optioning out a 4x2 supercrew lariat with just the sport appearance package, but it required the 501a package as well which was like $2800. The math on some of the packages didnt add up either. One package on the xlt came with sport appearance package, remote start, manual sliding rear window and power heated passenger and driver seats for $2800. Optioned individually, they are: Remote start - $195 Sport appearance -$795 Manual rear window -$225 That means the power seats are almost $1600? Seems a bit high.
  12. Courier makes me think of a mailman. Id actually use the Maverick name on the little truck, then Id rename the baby bronco the Ford Recon
  13. https://www.motor1.com/news/258628/no-ford-ranger-raptor-v6/ Quote from the article: The 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 would have been a worthy replacement in the U.S. But now it seems the truck and a gasoline engine are unlikely to make it stateside. Ford has yet to confirm if the U.S. will get the pickup. And it sounds like the plan from the beginning was to keep the Ranger Raptor in other markets. Article seems to think this ranger raptor wont even make it to the US
  14. So if you have seen the maverick, can you describe what it looks like? Does it look like the drawing that came out? Will it be escape sized or smaller or larger? Id ideally like to get the bronco but I have a feeling it will be priced more than what I want to spend. I dont want to get a ranger if a completely new one is coming out in just a few years, which leaves the maverick.

  16. I hate all Chevy SUVs, but at least in RS trim, this looks very good. Im a die hard ford guy so it pains me to say that. I like blacked out vehicles so maybe that is what appeals to me, along with the aggressive looks. The only thing I dont like is the floating roof. Wonder if the RS will be priced similar to an edge ST?
  17. I also like the interior. I hope the bronco is similar in that it takes cues from the mustang interior
  18. its funny how much a grille can make or break a car. I really like the red one, but the silver one looks like crap.
  19. New name seems to be Corsair, at least per autoblog. Mkc name will stick around until it gets a redesign in a few years
  20. Just did a road trip in the fusion and thought the trunk was pretty spacious. 3 pieces of carryon luggage, a back pack, a cooler and 4 folding chairs all fit pretty easily.
  21. Toyota did the same thing with the Supra. They released photos of the race car version a while back, but still havent released the production version yet.
