Yippie, Thais make vehicles with decent quality and are a low cost production Center, this could be positioning for a resurgence in the TPP, Trans Pacific Partnership agreement with all the countries that don’t have tariffs on each other……

Funny how lack of changes impact sales. Who would’ve thought!

I think there’s an contract requirement to produce something like 250,000 of each but I could be wrong on that as Ford exercised an option to reduce Al units when things started to go off plan….. Ford Europe still needed to make these vehicles but I think there’s an contract blob styling didn’t go over well with potential customers, that and if people wanted a VW ID4 or ID5 then they just go buy one from VW. The EU program director wouldn’t hear any criticism of the vehicles which shows just how out of touch he is.

Our fuel is a lot more expensive, diesel used to be much cheaper than petrol but once everyone switched with diesel pickups and utilities, the oil companies started raising prices to protect their lost profits form the petrol side..   While they are fuel efficient, the modern diesels don’t like lots of short trips as it clogs up the converters when they can’t regen but pretty sure many of you in North America know all about that added pain….

On the Super Dutys the most common cause is a wiring issue at the tailgate hinge or the connector for the camera/lock. I’d start by checking the harness where it flexes when the gate opens, then unplug/reseat the tailgate connector and clean the latch. If it’s gone from intermittent to constant, the sensor or wiring has likely failed. On a 2024 this should be covered under warranty, so the dealer may be the fastest fix.

Ford has been planning this for a while, first heard this over a year ago when I heard that it was their intent  to limit money going to VW and suppliers. Ford had identified that VW was trying to increase profits by selling batteries and MEB parts to Ford. (Duh)   The things that Ford now makes: - change battery supply away from VW suppliers - changing motors and control units to Gord own design  

Really! I am sorry for whatever I did to you.   Abandon cars for robots. Sounds like something Farley would do. 😁

There aren’t even any rumors of it
