Hello, My grandfather has a 2004 Lincoln Town Car Ultimate. I was wondering if anyone could tell me how rare two options that his particular Town Car is equipped with are. The two options in question are the navigation radio (Option 94N) and the power sunroof (Option 13B). I haven't seen a lot of TC's with those two options, and was wondering how many cars were produced with those two options. I'm sure he'd be glad to know that his TC has some rare options. Any help would be appreciated! -Vince P.S. I'm sorry if this in the wrong section. Mods, if this post is in the wrong section, please feel free to move it to the correct section. I just thought this forum would be the best place for this topic.

I definitely would, but would like to have one for a full day or two.

Ok, so I know they are just starting to hit dealer lots across the U.S., but has anyone seen a 2021 F-150 on the rental lot yet? Which companies have them, and in which spec (trim level and engine)? I've driven 4 previous-gen (2015-2020) models, and am itching to drive the new one, having also driven a few RAM 1500s, and been disappointed by how dull they are to drive as compared to the fun-to-drive nature of the F-150. -Vince

Likely it'll eventually be available (or at least the 8" version), much as Ford replaced SYNC 2/MyFord Touch (MFT) with SYNC 3, but it won't happen right away. I'm surprised it didn't launch with the new Bronco Sport. The only advantage I see to SYNC 4 is the addition of Connected Navigation, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, OTA software updates, and SiriusXM 360L (aka enhanced SiriusXM). SYNC 3 still has 4G LTE Wi-Fi, (wired) Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and the FordPass App, so at least there's that. We likely won't see the 12" screen trickle down from the Bronco and F-150 to smaller vehicles like the Escape and Bronco Sport. I also have a feeling that Ford will ditch the 4.2" non touchscreen radio in the S model of the Escape for the 8" SYNC 3 system in all models. -Vince

AFAIK TPMS is required on most vehicles, and if the pickup box DRW F-350 and F-450 have it, then the C/C models likely do as well. It's not an option, so it must be standard. -Vince

Yeah those 4.2's are pretty tough... pretty good power for a V6 too.

Just like the Flex, it has a dated platform, and it also has (not just like the Flex) an antiquated 4-speed automatic for the base I4 engine, and an underwhelming base powertrain... my friend has a '16 Journey FWD 2.4L and it is noisy inside. The V6, on the other hand, gets good MPG and is plenty powerful (haven't driven one in a Journey, but have driven a (Jeep) Grand Cherokee with the 3.6L Pentastar V6, and it is plenty powerful).

Looks good, and it offers something the Ranger doesn't (a diesel). I've had a chance to check out a Colorado ZR-2 Diesel Crew Cab, and it was AWESOME. Hope Ford (eventually) builds a ZR-2 competitor for the U.S...

As long as I have Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and SiriusXM, I'm good. Don't care at all about the screen size, they just keep getting bigger. ?

No manual option on the diesel... boo.

I know the Continental may be ending production soon. I heard the new Mustang-inspired EV may be produced at Flat Rock as well.
