Solid choices, how's your flex holding up reliability wise? Have you replaced the water pump?

My list is in my sig...

That is good business as far as I’m concerned.  Small things like that make people come back. 

My list is shorter than y'alls, but my garage history includes:   -2009 Flex -2018 Mustang -2022 Bronco   But my dad's always had an F-150, and my mom had a Cougar, 2 Expeditions, and an Explorer ST in there.....she's currently in a BMW X7 (she made that jump because of issues with her 2020 Explorer), but has had some issues with it recently and is considering an Aviator.

I have bled Ford blue my entire life in part due to my parents having several Ford conversion vans for ski trips and misc travel.  My mom had two cars as I grew up, a Chevy vega (pos) and an 82 Escort which I was able to borrow as a teenager.  My dad at one point tried a Chevy blazer but had a large power train issue (4x4 transfer case maybe, can't remember) and that was it for non-Fords for him.  He steered me to my first vehicle; a locally made 1985 Ford Ranger 4x4 with 5 speed manual and no air conditioning.  It had a gutless 2.8 V6 which and a carb.    Since then I have bought only Fords due to my family and company history, and to support an American iconic company and American workers.  My purchases are listed below and I have never owned an F series pickup.  Most of my favorite Ford's (*) have been canceled and I should probably buy another Ranger while I can as it is the only current Ford that interests me.   85 Ranger 89 Tempo AWD (then moved to Texas so I may have had the only AWD Tempo in the state) 91 Explorer Sport *97 Taurus LX 01 Expedition 03 Taurus SES *08 Focus SE Deluxe *13 Flex *16 Fusion SE (daughter's current) *18 Escape Titanium (wife's current vehicle) 2x Bronco Sport (son's current)   I have a younger daughter that I would have liked to buy a Fusion or Focus to help her continue with our Ford tradition and she will likely be the first to stray. 

It evolved from D3 which itself is a derivative of Volvo's P2 chassis...CD6 is dedicated as a RWD with AWD capability and an engine that sits in a "north-south" position...CD4 was dedicated as FWD with AWD capability with an engine that sits in an "east-west" position.  

Probably 6-7 hours.  He tries to keep it above 20%, and charges to 90% every night.  Ours does about 10% per hour, so that's 6-7 hours of charging.   And I can hear the kids now...six seven, six seven.  🙄

Despite my brand loyalty to Ford - when my Daughter was in the Air Force stationed in Hawaii (2013-16) and looking for a small car to get for her travels...I directed her away from the Focus since I knew the issues Ford was having with the DSG powershift transmission....I co-signed her lease of a 2014 Honda Civic 4 door since as I advised her, "What you buy on the island, you will need to take with you." Of course, her being 18 years old at the time, she tended to be a little "harsh" on her car and when the deployment was over and the lease was up, she had many dents and dings enough to take a big hit upon turn in....so, she bought it out of the lease and the Air Force shipped it stateside...she still has that car with close to 150K on the clock, is married, with two dogs and that little Civic just keeps on rollin' along....of course it has many more battle scars but it is reliable and she is thinking about maybe getting a C-RV.....

It might be easier, but it might not be. My point was that when they tried to go from sedan to coupe, they decided that it compromised the coupe too much for the Mustang’s purposes, so they went a new direction. Going from a coupe to a sedan might also compromise the sedan, so it might be better (if not easier/cheaper) to go from CUV to sedan.   I don’t recall the history of CD6, but isn’t it an evolution of CD4, which was originally a sedan platform?
