I asked ChatGPT to put an Everest front end on a Durango and Durango front end on Everest. (In fairness ChatGPT could have cheated, but you get the point)
It'll be curious to see if mustang gets a new platform post s650, or if they just modify the existing platform they have. I'd keep the rest seats to keep insurance costs down, and maybe to use for people who have toddlers or something.
But what I'd really like to see is just for Ford to improve on what they already have. Lower the roof and beltline slightly, this was apparently considered for s650, but wasn't in the budget. Shorten the overhangs, especially the front overhang, stretch the wheelbase an inch or a couple of inches, give it a more prominent dash to axle ratio.
This would not only make the mustang look more exotic, if would give them more space behind the front wheels to maybe develop a front-mid engine layout, which would obviously improve performance significantly. The Ecoboost s650 is apparently a front mid layout already, or so I've been told, so a front-mid 5.0 shouldn't be impossible if they had more roof to work with.
Ford’s business in Europe and UK faces a different set of challenges to that of North America,
I wouldn’t begin to assume the complexity of decisions required for region specific products.
Right now, I think Ford is heavily invested in keeping F Series profits coming in,
anything else that would be “nice to have” sits in a separate bucket waiting
until markets get back to some level of stability and normalcy.
The Falcon was pretty cool too. But like the Falcon it’s a generation behind in styling. Put a Ranger front on a fifteen year old Durango and BOOM you get an Everest.
Agree, also I think they can improve the camera, a lot of competitors have a 3d option.
I also think the map section could take up more space in the display
It is a nice feature although I thought it was only on the Navigator as a exclusive feature but the Expedition also has it.
The Expy looks ok overall but I agree that the back is very weird with that black piece and the random lights
Couldn’t agree more, extension via a four door coupe is probably incremental production,
adding things like Mustang pickup or a two seater coupe like pre C8 coupe, maybe
but I get the feeling that when it comes to Mustang branded vehicles, less is more…
