The irony was that Ford could have opted for a proper JV 6-speed auto like GM did with the Cruze
and avoided the whole problem but Ford Europe refused to alter its design. That’s why Fields doubled down.
The global 1.5 EB and 6F35 was an utter dream to drive in the 2016 global Focus but was too late outside USA.
had convinced itself that the problem was fixable
Kinda stupid testing. Lets beat the crap of this and see what breaks.
But on the other hand, the $100k truck broke much sooner than it should have. I think when his ass end dropped hard on those culverts, he probably cracked the back end then. When he put some stress on it when pulling the Ford, it gave way.
Vger has finally landed in my garage. I picked him up yesterday. I ordered the cargo & mat package. The cargo net was missing. The dealer is having one shipped to my home. I also have to take him in to get the front and rear dashcams installed. I can say the seating in this vehicle is SO comfortable and way better than my Corsair GT.
The last 3 pictures are some bling I added. The hitch cover was purchased from an authorized Lincoln retailer on Amazon. I also purchased the back seat hooks from Amazon. They are high quality with leather stitched over metal. I have a Belkin MagSafe vent mounted charger. I'm not certain this is going to be a long term solution as the vents are more recessed and the dash protrudes out from under them more. I know there is a wireless charger in the console but my phone gets very hot on it and I like having it more in view so I don't leave it in the car.
