called it from the get go and copped flak for it...they went all in on EV ( including battery factories ) and shot themselves in the foot...cost them a LOT of money, GOVT pressure didnt help in the slightest either...you get into bed with the Devil youll have consequences, not sure the figure is accurate, but rumor was Ford was losing 50k on each Mach E...again, sounds incredibly inflated, but losing copious amounts on moola on specific vehicles just to appease, is not a good business decision...Toyota played it a LOT better, and maybe the best in the Automobile kingdom, but I think Fords learnt a valuable lesson, licked their wounds and will respond well...fingers crossed.
KIA and Hyundai have , IMO the least cohesive styling on the road today...completely obsessed with how crazy they can make their head and tail lights adn they dont fit in with their body styles...just horrible...all about the lights...
not only did they save money on the parts during the build process, but then they sold you an aftermarket part and made more money. The only winner was Ford. It seems that is their MO now. Never mind value for the consumer.
Hey everyone! I am a college design student from Ohio, and I am working on a design research project around the Bronco. I built a short survey around aftermarket parts that will significantly benefit my overall research and final set of products I am designing for the Bronco. It will take about two minutes or so to fill out, and I would be greatly appreciative of anyone able to take the time to help! It will genuinely help bring my final deliverables to life. Thanks! Please let me know if you have any questions.
Bronco Aftermarket Survey
Well since downshifts are computer actuated, what else could it be? Maybe a sensor I guess.
For the record I've had no issues at all with my 2018 3.5l ecoboost.
Because a lot of individual tradespeople buy Transits and F150s and F250/350 - plumbers, electricians, delivery services. I think commercial fleet buyers do a lot more research, RFPs, etc. and deal with their fleet sales people. They do a lot more research on capacities and limitations and volume discounts. Totally different buyer. Nobodybuys a fleet of F450s because they saw atv ad.
The local dealer is trying to win local fleet sales by showing they have whatever you need.
