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.  

New England Ford dealers have been running an ad recently pushing commercial trucks.  And the opening shot actually has a 650/750 that looks like it is pulling a tag with equipment on it.  I'll have to pay closer attention.  Someone in marketing must have missed the message that " we don't push class 6/7 trucks"!  

Just got the 2025 Navigator (black label) and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the hotspot feature to work. I called Lincoln support and they said I needed to talk to AT&T. I called AT&T and they said I need to talk to Lincoln. So here we are. Anybody able to get theirs to work? The Lincoln phone app has nothing in it that references wifi or hotspot settings. The vehicle has a hotspot icon, but it it just pops up a message that no subscription could be found. The AT&T website says my VIN is ineligible, but how could that be a thing? My 2022 Aviator could do it. The new Navigator has a modem, and it has an option/icon for hotspot. Any help/information would be amazing.

There have been numerous spy photos and articles about the 2026 Mustang but no information about when the 2026 Mustang USOB (Unscheduled Order Bank) will open or when the 2026 Mustang Order Guide will be available. The order guides are usually available when the USOB opens.
