Check this truck out. 'Ford Blue' 8V-71, and it must have been one of the rare deluxe 'owner operator' WT road tractors when new. Notice the back trim panel in the sleeper! Those trucks came factory with nice paint jobs and a lot of chrome, but very few were sold. The W was a fleet truck, not many O/O's went for them.
Did you mean European Transit Custom? Not sure what you meant. The smaller Connect and Courier look good for a van, but not as good to me as the latest Custom. I think there is demand for a van smaller than full-size Transit, but needs a high roof option similar to larger vans. Hopefully at least 5’-10” to 6’-0” cargo-area height will be made available.
He renegotiated NAFTA into USMC, I can see him tearing the thing up and saying this is how it’s gonna be.
Ford’s immediate exposure
Maverick, Bronco Sport, Mach E,
Super Duty Engines, 6.7 Powerstroke, 6.8/7.3 Godzillas
Coyote 5.0 V8 for F150 and Mustang
While that looks bad, I’d rather be in Ford’s shoes than GM,
they have a lot more Mexican built products
Not sure how that is going to work with USMC deal that he implemented...I'm guessing that the tariffs are going to be used as leverage for other things that are more important.
Latest report is he intends to move forward with 25% tariff on all goods from Mexico and Canada.
That will hurt all the wrong people, it takes companies years to rip up plans and change to something else.
