From what I understood, Ford Pro were supporting a good part of CE1 hence,
the pickup, a Utility close to the pickup and a Van….although the way BEV van sales are going…
I favor a lineup that returns the best profit margins for the least investment. It's already balanced from a price standpoint starting with Maverick and more affordable new products on the way. This isn't a case where they're vulnerable to a recession. Nobody is going to suddenly start buying sedans over trucks and utilities because of a recession or high gas prices. They'll just buy fewer new vehicles period and more hybrids.
You can't include f150 and super duty and leave out Continental. And Puma and C-Max were way more car than crossover. I don't think there is a lot of overlap in trucks as you say although I said above I think they could replace Ranger with a new unibody like Maverick but more aggressive with more capability closer to Ranger. I think it could be cheaper and more profitable leaving MAP to expand Bronco offerings.
The shop did the conversion to show off its 10R control unit can be used in a wide variety of vehicles
as others have said the 6R trans in crown BOC makes more sense.
more than 20 years ago we had 5.4 Boss and ZF6HP in Aussie Falcon
I hope so, the way Ford’s engineers were going, vehicles were getting more and more complex, the opposite of what Ford wants with speed and efficiency building them
I just hope people stay grounded and ease up on the thoughts of lots of different CE1 vehicles coming in the next couple of years.
