Not without the old Ranger diesel!

While it is not the case that the only way to deliver new products is to cancel existing products, making decisions on what new products to introduce and what if any existing products to cancel is basic economics. It's not exclusive to Ford.    Remember the definition of economics?   Economics is the study of the use of scarce resources which have alternative uses.   So while Ford has been particularly aggressive in cancelling existing products (most of which were anonymous unibody garbage), every automaker has to contend with scarce resources and alternative uses - economics in other words. The automotive industry isn't like the Garden of Eden where everything was available in unlimited abundance. 

Reminds me of the palisade

You really don't understand how a business works, do you?

Jim's been reading your posts on here 🤣

Ford chooses to run the minimum number of plants so that decision makes sense….   was interesting that for a time CD4 products were built at FRAP both an overflow plant and then the Continental   Not saying they should be doing that but it’s interesting  how Ford’s decision making flipped in just a few short years.

With all the mucking around that Ford did over the years, it makes me wonder if they had just kept the 385 Lima  and upgraded that. The big Ford’s would have 370, 429 and 460 which happens to be 6.1, 7.0 and 7.5 litres.

Farley is a marketing Guy through and through. No one should believe that the only way to deliver new products is to cancel existing products. This seems exclusive to Ford. 

Meh.

Listening to that interview with Jim, he sounds like such a down to earth guy and he really truly loves cars.
