Expanded engine offerings

The use of the EcoBoost line of engines in larger vehicles is taking an obvious toll, and the customer-base at large aren't happy with it.  If FoMoCo were to offer the Coyote V8 engine in large vehicles like the Expedition and Navigator, they'd perform and sell much better than they currently are.  Additionally, the naturally aspirated RWD version of the 3.5 V6 is a great example of Ford's capability to engineer a reliable engine, but they're offered in so few vehicles they're almost unobtainable.  There's a reason that Ford only offers that engine in the Police Interceptor Explorers, so why not expand that reliable drivetrain to the general public?

 

Be the example above the other US automakers.  Everybody's so focused on short-term profits that reliability and engineering is suffering, and the customer base is getting pretty fed up.  Ford's always been a leader in both manufacturing and quality, but ALL of the US automakers have lost that edge.  Ford has a great opportunity to step above and steal that market share while the others are hyperfocused on dollar signs.
