Jeep’s Luxury SUV Revolution: Wagoneer Name Retires - Autoblog   Here’s some bad news for Wagoneer. Jeep is reportedly retiring the standalone Wagoneer nameplate after 2025. In 2026, the SUV maker will rebrand the entire lineup, from base trims to the top-of-the-line versions, under the Grand Wagoneer badge. Dealer sources have confirmed this move, with Mopar Insiders explaining that Jeep’s shift is due to low demand for the Wagoneer. The move is aimed at refining the brand’s identity and delivering a more cohesive, premium ownership experience. ... There will be a major reshuffle in the variant labels by removing Series I, II, and III and replacing them with Summit and Limited trims.         I never understood the delineation between Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer aside from fewer features on the former (I think).  

No I was referring to the joint venture plants, those were indeed set up for Ford as the main customer but now they’re looking around for other companies wanting to buy batteries until demand increases.   And that’s the other point, BEV production has not ramped up as expected in the US, that has to affect battery costs sticking at higher than expected prices 

I always kinda liked how the Soul looked.   I feel like they split their own market when adding that Seltos thing.

This is what I have been posting often about for the last couple of years here... The total haphazard way Ford develops its vehicles. It is crazy.    Imagine if Toyota just decided to let RAV4 and Highlander go without replacements. Nuts right? And yet, that's what Ford is going/did with Escape and Edge.   And it's not about ICE vs. EV. It's about product continuity and market share. Ford doesn't have a compact long CUV to replace Escape (ICE or EV) but it is hell bent on ending production of Escape anyway. This is a products that sells in the biggest volume non-pickup segment on US. Nuts. Nuts. Nuts.

Is Ford truly planning to build their own batteries at BOC? IF so, that would certainly help with lowering costs for EV's. Regardless of the vehicle size.

My 2020 Ford Explorer had a pre-collision sensor failure while driving through a rainstorm. Took it to the dealership to get the sensor reset and the mechanic said the bracket holding the sensor was broken and the replacement cost for the new bracket and sensor was around $2000.  I declined and when I left the dealership I decided to try using the intelligent cruise control and it worked.  I have read online that the sensor sometimes gets blocked with snow or rain, but should work when the sensor clears. 

I always keep my hubs in the auto lock I know that I have a vacuum leak on the front passenger side I need to get fixed but I haven’t used 4wd for awhile so I don’t know if it does it then but it does it in 2wd. 

I still think that these plans should've been done:   1a) Oakville should've stuck with Edge/Nautilus, kept Louisville as C2 Escape/Corsair (with new top hats), and put CE1 at the underutilized BOC until further EV demand is warranted for a wind down of ICE products 1b) Oakville gets Super Duty (as it is), keep Louisville as C2 Escape/Corsair (with new top hats) and ADD Edge/Nautilus, and put CE1 at the underutilized BOC until further EV demand is warranted for a wind down of ICE products

No, they're going to fly off the lots because they're BEV!!!
