Not sure why they call it a “tiny” truck when they then refer to it as similar to Maverick in size? 🤔   When Ford first announced the new truck’s $30k price point, it seemed quite a goal and accomplishment if realized, but the $30k price goal has already been achieved or will soon be surpassed by Nissan Leaf and Chevy Bolt, so price alone won’t make it stand out.  Size, features, and range will likely matter a lot too IMO.   As a point of reference on shifting affordability, just noticed GM has introduced a small SUV in Mexico and South America which starts at around $25k in Mexico if I’m reading site correctly.  The Spark EUV is imported from China but will soon be built in Brazil also, where price is a bit higher but still under $30k.  It’s small and basic with only 40~42 kWh battery and 175 miles of EPA range.  Just mentioning because the landscape on affordable EVs is changing fast.  Hope Ford isn’t playing catch up by time new EVs come out.   For a cheap compact electric SUV the Spark EUV looks good to me.  Reminds me a little of Bronco Sport.

Transit Connect doesn’t count?

No.  I don't guess.  Kinda hard to understand the question.   There won't be any deleting of diesel trucks by Ford.

I heard that Ford start test right now diesel trucks delete that right?

I am starting to think that C2 will be ending soon.....no more product launches on C2, and all that are currently using it will slowly phase out or update to CE1. 

That's a good point, and does sound like something they'd lock behind a top trim.

Haha, it's all good!

Maybe a V8 for the Raptor only?   I don't know why the Bronco would need a V8 except to keep up with Jeep.  The 2.7L V6 has plenty of oomph (and actually sounds really good), so I can only imagine what the 3.0L in the Raptor is like.  Of course, the F150 Raptor R is selling for $100k+, so if the platform will support it, the folks with $$$ will buy it.

Yeah, I'm guessing a lot of the things on here are items they're considering, and trying to see how interested people are in various options.   It may have been on there, but they didn't show the "lifetime" initial purchase option for the bluecruise.  I'd rather go with that approach rolling into vehicle payments instead of endless subscriptions, though I know Ford (and the competition) wants a constant revenue stream for certain options.

He did mention later in the thread that there was like 12 pages of powertrain combos, so perhaps it was one, but not one they focused on?   I'd be surprised if they wind up putting the 5.0 in it.  This means that a 5.0 hybrid would also have to be on the way for other products, as it's not something that currently exists.  The 3.0 hybrid seems most likely to me, though I guess they're trying to throw a bone to the V8 crowd?
