I've been going back on some old posts, didn't someone post a side by side comparison of sizes/dimensions some time ago on Everest Territory Escape Equator BS Etc?
Then I saw this on FA , FF to 50:10 Mark where they are loving the Territory...
The seats are usually upgraded and more comfortable in addition to the leather material. You’d have to sit in both to see if it’s $1700 worth of difference.
FWIW the ActiveX seats in my F150 have held up great and look and feel very nice. My buddy with the Lariat didn’t even notice the difference until I mentioned it.
I don’t want a crappy remote strapped to the visor. Not to mention ours have tiny buttons. I’m fine with it being optional as long as it can be easily installed.
Nope, I'm not waiting on an Escape replacement. I'll be happy with my 23 PHEV for at least 7 years. I'm just interested in learning about Ford's replacement plans like others here. Now, if Ford doesn't bring a Ranger PHEV to North America, then I will be sorely disappointed.
Boils down to production space-the Land Cruiser and 4Runner come from their own plant in Japan and the Tacoma is built in its own plant in Mexico.
Not sure if would make sense for Ford to add the Everest in addition the Bronco and Ranger at MAP.
I’m still not sold on this cannibalism theory. There are other manufacturers that have similar vehicles within the same class of vehicles or in betweeners, that don’t seem to have that issue. As pointed out, broncos top comes off, and I think that is a sufficient enough difference they wouldn’t significantly impact each other.
