Since when do you quote C&D and the like? Don’t bother responding, I know the answer.

Duh. It’s optional because it’s the base engine and you can choose to pay less for the base engine. Otherwise, you pay more to get an adequate engine and therefore Ford’s ATP increases. Did I pass the narrative test?? 🤣

So the Bronco Sport is 4x4 only (as already leaked), look for a starting price of at least $28,000. The base AWD Escape starts at $27,580.

Well said.

Thanks Dean, I don’t keep up with Transit powertrain options. One has to wonder, why build 2 different displacements of the NA V6 if the power numbers are the same/similar unless one is more efficient.

So if true, total waste of money if this is the only application for the 3.5 NA. Do you have any other details to share about this engine and why the 3.3L is not sufficient for the upcoming F150 hybrid?

called this in mid-March... https://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/ford/2020/03/31/ford-jim-hackett-coronavirus-furloughs/5096816002/ "My gut tells me we’re into May now, but we’re not projecting a date until the president actually comes through with, 'I want to turn the economy on by x date.' That’s really the healthiest thing, is for all of us to be coordinated together," Hackett told WWJ Radio.

Why? 3.5 “duratec” was phased for truck duty years ago. Producing a “different” version of the 3.3L NA for a unique application is both inefficient and a waste of money (which Ford is probably more concerned with at this point).

If it is indeed using the 3.5 EB, look for torque numbers around 700lb-ft (based on the power numbers for the Aviator GT with the 3.0 EB).

Silverado and Sierra up big for the quarter as well. Not sure what that means considering the numbers from 2019 Q1. Although, I am interested in seeing the sales numbers for the F150 for comparison.

Thanks Dr. Oz. Get it? 😜 In all seriousness, I agree with what you described. We have an entire world of scientists/MD’s working to identify remediation tactics for this pandemic. We will get thru it and be better for it eventually.

Yep, ‘71 BOSS 351 was one of (If not) the fastest 1/4 mile Mustangs from ‘65-‘73 model years. That almost horizontal back window is something to behold when sitting in the drivers seat. I tend to like the style.

Huh? No way Ford is using PHEV 2.3 in this anytime soon considering they didn’t have the balls to give it the 2.0L EB standard.

I’m genuinely curious on any opinions or inside knowledge related to this low roof option.

Credible source? Or opinion? I disagree unless your interpretation of “quarantine” is equal or similar to what NY Governor announced today.
