This is an old thread but I got auto hold on my 2024 XLT. In Forscan, make these 3 changes: Plain language  APIM: Auto hold enabled IPC: Auto hold enabled   As built: ABS 760 03 01:  *xxx-xxxx-xx * change to 3 where oem is 2.   When you go to test it, you must have the drivers door closed an seatbelt on. 

Sharing Explorer doors was a mistake because the platform can accommodate a lower car-like body with a lower beltline like the ID.3  The ID.3 has the same wheelbase as the ID.4 and the related Ford twins. Part of me wished Ford partnered with Hyundai instead of VW. Right now, their BEVs seem to be doing better than VW. Hyundai's E-GMP's platform at least allows lower profiles. The Kia EV6 crossover (below) is taller than an Ioniq 6 sedan and lower than an Ioniq 5 SUV.  The Capri EV design language on the Hyundai-Kia platform/architecture would have probably looked much better than the actual tall stubby VW MEB-based model.

I think Ford should continue building standard affordable B and C segment models for the rest of the world, then make hot hatch versions of them.   The compact Civic Type R, GR Corolla and sub compact GR Yaris (sold outside North America) exist because of the regular models they are based on.  The most exclusive of this bunch is the GR Yaris because the regular Yaris is only offered as a 5-door hatch, the 3-door (wide) body is exclusive to the GR Yaris. Ford's hottest hatch now is the new Puma ST with a 168hp 1.0 EcoBoost. Puma is marketed as a crossover but it's just an inch or so taller than the Fiesta it was based on. It is essentially a longer wheelbase Fiesta (which was on the small end of its class). What's really frustrating is the fact that Ford could have at least sold the Puma crossover to global markets that lost the Fiesta and Focus. 

Welcome to the forum! The leak you’re describing sounds like it might be related to the rear differential or an axle seal, especially since it's coming from the center near the third row. Hybrid systems sometimes also have cooling systems or components in the rear that could leak. Here’s what you can do: Inspect the Area: Check for any visible signs of a breach or damaged seal. Smell the Fluid: If it has a gear-oil smell (sulfur-like), it’s likely from the differential. Check Fluid Levels: Inspect rear differential or hybrid cooling system fluid levels if accessible. Given that it’s a 2020, it might still be under warranty—worth contacting your dealer for a proper diagnosis.

Thanks for sharing the address for Len DeLuca—it’s good to know where to direct feedback for Ford’s commercial trucks. The Roush propane conversions sound promising, especially with the range of applications, including the upcoming F-650 and Transit options. It’s also interesting to see Ram stepping up with their commercial truck division and improving dealership repair facilities. The competition between these brands should push for better options and support for commercial truck customers.

Ranger Raptor $55,720 Bronco Raptor $90,000   Ranger Lariat  $43,780 Bronco Wildtrak $60,225   Ranger XL $32,820 Bronco Big Bend $39,630   Not a perfect equivalence but comparing entry models, mid level models and Raptors kinda shows how Bronco price difference grows the higher you go   Look, I agree that Bronco interiors are  probably worth  say $7,000 to $10,000 more than Ranger but when you get to Lariat/Wildtrak and the Raptor/Raptor, Ford is really making book on upper trims.

We all thought they were nuts agreeing to add a third production shift…

Ford's strategy right now feels a lot like the boomer dad with a beer gut telling you how cool he used to be 50 years ago. Cashing in on fond memories of the past "Look how cool I used to be, love me now because I used to be cool". You can either be cool, or tell people how cool you are. A brand that's actually cool doesn't need to go around constantly telling people how cool it is. If you have it, you have it. 

Why can't you take delivery of it and just bring it in when the part is in stock?

It’s a shame because the Focus is actually a nice product in Europe.
