I'm still lost as to why the Bronco Sport wouldn't move from 1.5L and 2.0L engines to 2.5L hybrid and 2.0L gas options. Dump the unloved 1.5L 3-pot EcoBoost, drop in the existing 2.5L hybrid system, and be happy with the fuel efficiency. Want to have gas options for more of the lineup? Great, 2.0L. Simplify that supply chain. Amen.   Not every 2027 will be dropping it, but we'll see it gone completely within the next year. I had to run the numbers on Tremor and High Lobo three times to be sure. Read over the pricing guide and order guide, and then built them in the real-world order system. Yep, legit significant price drop. If I get people coming in that want a gas Lariat, I'm going to point them to a Tremor or High Lobo. We're completely baffled by the dropping of the gas engine on XL and Lariat. It's almost like someone making decisions only gets input from select markets. The Maverick is a mass-market vehicle, and hybrid isn't optimal for a lot of the mass market... just like fully electric isn't optimal for many people... and diesel isn't optimal for many people.

No?   lol.

I thought they ditched the predator grills.

Ford Fathom Will Not Utilize Apple CarPlay Ultra   Alan Clarke, vice president of advanced vehicle projects at Ford, recently confirmed to GreenCars that the Ford Fathom will not launch with Apple CarPlay Ultra, which is news for a few notable reasons. Chiefly among them is the fact that the Fathom will launch with integrated Apple Maps - which will also be the case with other future models underpinned by the Universal Electric Vehicle (UEV) platform. The Ford Fathom will also offer both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay support, though this news came as a bit of a surprise to many, particularly following Ford's partnership with Google in developing its fairly new Digital Experience software. As for why Ford opted to go that route instead of partnering with Google once again, Clarke also explained that decision in this interview.

Not official, but something they're working on.....   Slate Electric Pickup High Roof Cargo Kit Work Van       Slate Auto has not officially detailed its cheapest enclosed work van yet. At a recent Portland ride-along event, Fleet Business Development and Government Sales Lead Christian Kreipke reportedly described a high-roof cargo topper in development for the compact electric pickup and presented it as a possible future retail option. Kreipke reportedly pegged the add-on at about $3,000, which would turn the pickup into a fully enclosed cargo hauler for trades and small businesses that might otherwise shop used panel vans. Slate has not confirmed the kit or any pricing on its consumer channels. The company is still publicly focused on preorders and its first customer deliveries, which it has previously targeted for late 2026.

2027 Lexus NX Revealed With RX Looks and ES-Inspired Tech - Autoblog   2027 Lexus NX Debuts With A New Face And Big Changes Under The Skin | Carscoops   2027 Lexus NX Revealed: New Look, More Hybrid Power         I don't know why all the companies have to spell out the brand name now.

I bought a new ambient temp sensor and was getting ready to replace the old one but the location of where it was supposed to be at there is a whole different type of sensor that is in that place and I can’t find where the ambient temp sensor is located the sensor that is there is smaller and doesn’t have two prongs on the inside of it 

A lot of local sales success depend on the dealers- For example, in Minnesota Ford used to sell well because Boyer Ford Trucks offered good service and competitive pricing. In the more rural areas International sold well because they had dealers everywhere. Now it seems Daimler just undercuts everyone else on price and has half the market...

Fuel economy?  Also the 2.0L has only been on the badlands trim on the Bronco Sport AFIAKR

The Maverick price changes seemed to have a lot more to do with rebalancing the powertrains than mere decontenting. Is it possible to get a Lobo SVT300 for under $40k now? Greatest product they’ve made in years tbh.
