Yes, the Lincoln app works fine.

Not a fan of appearance either though not horrible.  The front especially looks too blunt for my taste (too non-aero like a truck).  In the 3-row class I’d go with the Honda Pilot instead, though getting older and doesn’t offer hybrid IIRC.  Pilot looks more traditional which I prefer.   Speaking of hybrids, I’m somewhat surprised Hyundai is using a 4-cylinder turbo with 2 electric motors in 6-speed auto transmission according to their video.  Previous Hyundai hybrids use one electric motor in 6-speed auto.  Their targeted fuel economy is good but not great, though probably due more to turbo engine in lieu of Atkinson, and also that Palisade probably has a lot of aerodynamic drag at speed.  Will be interesting to see how it does at steady 75 MPH when tested.

Very strange.  Does the Lincoln app work?

I’m either prophetic or typing on my phone, enjoy the laugh, I did.

No, that's the "The AT&T website says my VIN is ineligible, but how could that be a thing?" part of my original post.

CAFE is across the company's product but CAFE target is model specific.   The current CAFE regulation is a 2-part process. First, each nameplate model has a CAFE target based on footprint. Second, the CAFE result is compared to CAFE target to determine compliance. So car companies can game both the CAFE target and the CAFE result depending on which is easier, or both.   They can lower the CAFE target by making longer and wider vehicles and changing cars to classify them as "trucks" (e.g. Impreza --> Crosstrek).    They can boost the CAFE result by changing the name plate (e.g. fold RAV4 Prime into RAV4) or take advantage of tech bonus (e.g. implement engine start/stop, PHEV, EV etc)   CE1 pickup will help Ford's CAFE result but it does very little for Bronco's CAFE target. Remember, the goal is to make the target as low as possible and make the result as high as possible.   In practice, since the current CAFE rules were implemented, car companies has found it is much easier to make the target lower than bother with making the results higher so that's why all the small cars have disappeared, and every vehicle is getting bigger and wider even if no one asked for it.   

Did you get a data plan from AT&T?

Sorry, not challenging your comments on CAFE determination  I was responding to why no PHEV Ranger, the poster also attached Bronco Sport to that enquiry. Ford can still use BEV truck offset with utilities being classed as trucks but agree, they probably need some form of electrified Bronco Sport to fully satisfy CAFE future targets

Classic!

Did you mean ugly designs, lol. I’ve rarely been a fan of Hyundai styling and this one is no different.  I think they try to push things too far and then their designs age quickly.  Kia, on the other hand, are the opposite, fortunately.
