From what I remember he trusted his subordinates who either lied to him or took too many risks on the cutover timeline.

Manuals were better when automatics were slow with only 3 or 4 speeds.  With 8-10 speed autos that shift quickly and only rob 15% of engine power plus dual clutch auto manuals that are even better manuals are strictly for fun.     When I ordered my boxster the PDK was the only choice for me.

Yea, both Farley and Musk are having their companies assist the authorities best they can. The telematics systems from both the F-150 Lightning and the Cybertruck should provide lots of helpful data      

Very interesting, but it is a vehicle specific to the Asian market.

Appreciate it, this sort of thing happens all too often in the states, especially in urban areas. It's always a tragedy. 

It's definitely a possibility. Ford's one of those brands that loves to put hints in it's vids, sometimes it means something, sometimes it's nothing. 

Did my new year chat with ford on my order (F350 Platinum Plus Tremor ordered 10/8) still in "In Order Processing". I did some 500 mile searches ( Fl, Mi,Ks,Tn) a few dealers had Platinum - Tremor, but no dealer has the Plus package.

You would be wrong....enjoy your Porsche or Volvo

Looking at the image in the OP, that styling with grey bumper and what looks like an amber coloured trim bead  was typical of Ford Australia staining on Falcons in the late 1980s, early 1990s.    As I said early Ford AUS has a habit of putting things in it clips that make people stop and rewind, I wouldn’t put too much stock in it…

Just to put American audience in the picture, a post factory converted F150 XLT crew cab starts at AUS$100,000 A Ranger XLT Cew cab starts at roughly AUS$60,000, so starting with XLT single cab Ranger for the Super Duty makes the price super affordable for commercial buyers.   The Landcruiser 70 single chassis cab is AUS $72,500 plus ORC, so Thers a big opportunity for Ford to undercut  Toyota’s price. I don’t think any Super Duty updates beyond commercial models are anticipated.   The biggest hope is that upgrades filter through to increased GVM and  GCM for regular Ranger and Everest  When considering towing loads up to 3,500 Kg (7,700 lbs), current vehicle quickly run up on the combined weight limits, adding a othe say, 300 lbs to vehicles would help keep owners on the right side of the law.
