Because there are days where it seems like Ford hates fun lol. I agree, get the truck, utilities, the boring stuff that's actually gonna sell, get that on the market first, it takes priority. I just hear Ford talking about how they want all of their future models to be something very few other people are offering, so it seems this is at least worth a shot. 

Who says they won't?  A small truck may be the first vehicle we'll see built off the CE1 platform, but I'm sure it won't be the last.  Look how versatile the C2 platform has proven to be.

I'd also argue you could make the hood on an EV a little shorter, offering more rear passenger space, while still letting it look right. 

Who says you need an engine at all? Just use this new CE1 platform, it's designed to be low, small, light, all great attributes for a car like this, and you don't have to worry about emissions regulations or CAFE averages, a car like this would only help ford there, being an EV and all.    Keep the normal coupe as a V8 higher end two seater to compete with the 'vette make the EV something young people can more easily afford. You got the gas, the electric, the two seater, the four seater, the more expensive, and the more affordable versions of the mustang.

Looking for some advice on what truck f350 or f450. Need to tow a 46 ft 5th wheel 16000 dry 20000 pounds loaded. Will be using the truck to tow the camper from New York to Florida and as far as Alaska. Need a truck that will back this camper up in tight Rv parks. This truck will all so be used as a daily driver. What I’m looking for in order. 1. Tow and stop 2. Comfortable 3. Ability to back up in tight spots 4. Good on fuel. What do you think?

If I remember correctly, the people who attended a recent dealer meeting where the RTR Ecoboost was first shown said it was targeting a sub 40k price point. If that turns out to be true, it'll be pretty solid value for sure. 

The only way to make it significantly cheaper is to make it a Miata clone (smaller, lighter, no back seat) which requires a new bespoke engine.      To make the current one cheaper would require a new bespoke engine (probably a longitudinal 2.0eb) and would accomplish absolutely nothing.

It’s a no brainer especially since they already had the Ecoboost performance packs.

4k a month is pretty decent and in the spring with convertibles it’s probably more like 6K.  It’s an icon so numbers are meaningless.

I’m surprised mustang is still around. Low sales, dedicated platform, and its own factory? Any other vehicle and it would be gone a long time ago. Most dealers around me don’t even stock mustangs anymore, and if they do, it’s only one or two.
