Grandparents had a 79 Zephyr wagon with the 5.0. Parents made me use the Mustang for my driving test bc of the manual, i wanted to use the 73 LTD Country Squire wagon with the 6.6l Ah, the good old days. My first car was a 79 Mustang coupe, 2.3 with the 4 spd manual. Loved that car. Edited February 23, 2020 by CurtisH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar first car for me, ‘85 Mustang coupe, 2.3 manual. Had 44k miles on it when I bought it in ‘91. Great first car no doubt! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering how often I have the door open while moving at low speeds, I’m not sure this is a feature that I want. Then again, I’m perfectly happy with the column shifter in my truck, or at least as happy as I can be with it, seeing as how I can’t get a real transmission with a real shifter...

Truthfully I feel for guys like you, waiting patiently for years in the hope that Ford will finally come to it's senses and include vehicle types that you obviously want to buy only to be snubbed and triviallised. On this site we shouldn't do that, you obviously have needs that are not being fulfilled and as a Ford fan, I would find that heart breaking, but also other people explaining why Ford does that, just sounds like consent when it'sjust acceptance of how things are because it's what plenty of Ford's buyers want.

Indeed Rams interior is considered much better than Silverado, the 12" screen was a big selling point and with an extra 200,000 sales I bet they chopped into a crap ton of Chebby's potential sales last year.

Again, this is a growing segment. It’s not like RAM all of a sudden “stole” 200k sales from a competitor. Ford needs to respond, and by the looks of this “new” F-150, it seems they are content with selling 900k F-series trucks. Nothing wrong with that, but seeing the growth in this segment, Ford should be aggressive. Don’t forget, model year changeover is coming, so will F-series sales slip under the 900k number in 2020?

Also, now we know what they were covering up in the top rear of the cab. I assume the new Sync version requires 2 bulging modules for some reason? edit: or maybe there are cameras in those bulging modules as well? They already have those 2 antenna modules on the 20 F-250.

That was pointed out earlier in this thread. Not sure why Ford uses 2 modules for connectivity when others use a single module. Anyone want to take a guess?

Those mirrors are definitely not towing mirrors. The mirrors appear they may extend though. I saw something else related to the mirrors, but can't recall where that suggest they may have an inside monitor to display what the mirrors are seeing at the corners of the dash.

We saw three grille designs in the more camoed shots. Can't wait to see what colors it will come in. Not a Limited for sure or it would have twin exhausts out back as the Raptor does. I'm thinking Lariat or Platinum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-dubz Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 I’m probably in the minority here but I couldn’t care less about screen size. The only thing I use the screen for is navigation. Everything else is controlled much better with the physical buttons/knobs. And as we saw with the explorers larger screen, ford hasn’t really figured out how to get sync to work well on the larger displays. Instead of the larger screen, I’d rather ford spend its money on a system like the Hyundai palisade has where it shows the blind spot camera video in the IP when you put the blinker on, or the rear view mirror screen and dash cam that Cadillac has, or sentry mode like Tesla.

I hope seeing the final package will change that. There isn’t anything particularly detrimental, but nothing is making me say wow yet. I feel the Ram interior still has the F150 interior covered with what can be see as well. The camo they left on must be hiding something important to the overall look. Otherwise, they might just as well have removed all of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
