There is not a Genesis dealer near me so I will not be shopping any of their products.   However, I did have the opportunity to test drive a G80 while I still had my Continental.   The Genesis put my Lincoln to shame in terms of ride quality, quietness and overall luxury feel.   They may not have an image like Lexus or the German luxury cars, but they do offer damn nice upscale vehicles.

Nope, but you'll have to remove the entire front clip, grille and radiator with A/C condenser.....lol  

2023 F250 Lariat Ultimate….drivers side C ring out.    Replaceable bulb ? Do I have to pull the engine to get to it ? 🤣

Not a trailer tow person myself, but I could see the Super Duty Ranger doing well in the US. It has the towing capacity for most gooseneck trailers and RVs with but with a smaller frontal area, plus a more garage/parking ramp friendly footprint. Ford could build the chassis at Oakville or KTA then ship them to MAP for final assembly. My guess is there would be less overall plant upgrades needed and both plants could still produce their original products. Probably more of a niche truck initially, but I think it would catch on.

From what I have read, Canada will be copying the same tariff the US has on our vehicles, but for Canadian content (only if you comply with USMCA, otherwise blanket 25%) On top of that, they will be implementing some sort of "remission framework" where if you keep assembly operations in Canada, there will be no tariff at all for your brand. So for Ford I think if they assume these tariffs are to be permanent it will come down to a math problem: Tariffs on USA imports from OAC and Windsor vs tariffs on all USA exports to Canada. I do wonder if Ford is making any decisions about reopening Romeo engine however.

Thanks Bob, that makes a lot of sense as the 600 is a natural extension of the 550 that fleets have requested for ages. So yes, F600 pulling from F550 but I noticed in its first 12 months F650 sales took a dive while the F600 was rising so maybe from both directions and exactly because of the reasons that the sales person gave…..it’s a nice truck too.

JP, actually the commercial truck guy at my dealership has told me that 600 has robbed from 550-that was probably almost a year ago.  I guess the attraction was 4WD in a 600 at 22,000 GVW and a "friendlier " truck for the inexperienced driver to handle vs high hood of a 650.  As for 750's this guy stocks mostly 750's with derated plates-26,000 gvw.  Trucks look heavy with high rated big rubber-no clue if they are 10/23 axles but one thing they do is avoid a cdl driver and the FET tax for a 33,000 gvw.  Probably should spend some time and go through the order guide  instead of guessing.

I like the wide body look this and the raptor have. If there was an appearance package on ranger that offered this without spending 60k for a raptor, I’d be all over it.

The Squircle wheel arches probably look weird to us Ford fans but clearly intended to draw sales away from Toyota buyers  but also adding clear differentiation between the Super Duty and regular Ranger models like Raptor, tremor and Sports.   It is what it is and for the intended buyers (Toyota/commercial) probably reinforces what they are used to or like. If this was developed in the US, I see Ford looking to pinch Tacoma buyers.  

Now I can't unsee it...
