Yea, "easy" solutions usually ain't. 😊 Kentucky has both a registration surcharge for EV (currently $126/year) and a excise tax + surtax per kilowatt hour for public EV fast charging stations. 

This is just an opinion.  Another reviewer could easily say the opposite (i.e. "while Civic's interior quality beats Maverick, the hatchback can't make up for an open bed useful for Home Depot runs, along with the Maverick's hauling and towing capabilities). While we don't know exact percentages, there have been a lot of reports of Civic buyers in particular going to Maverick.  Regardless of who's purchasing, Maverick has been a hit for Ford.     The issue was always profitability, not necessarily that they didn't want to have a sedan.   If they can make a sedan at their profitability target, why not?

I think you're expecting too much from a Chinese-based van.  It's a lower cost model, it's to be expected there's not much design there, IMO.

LOL, guess these people tried to have their cake and eat it too?   Owners Without Defective EcoBoost Engines Sued Ford Anyway - Autoblog   In a twist of events, three plaintiffs filed suits against Ford during this time, when their Ecoboost engines were not included in the recall, and they ended up overpaying for their cars. They go on to claim that this overpaying has caused them “personal injury.” Ford has gone on to say that the plaintiffs had no problems with their vehicles or EcoBoost engines. The presiding judge did say that overpaying qualifies as “monetary harm” and can be classified as an injury. The plaintiffs must have a plausible argument or proof that the products are indeed defective. To clear the suit, however, Ford says that these plaintiffs’ Ecoboost engines were made and purchased prior to the May 1, 2021, to October 31, 2021, production period, during which the defective valves were present.   The judge ruled in favor of dismissing the class action suit after he said the plaintiffs lacked proof of a defect in the design or manufacturing of their specific Ecoboost engines.

Hard to tell with the front lightbar.  Regarding the grille, the "matchsticks" are just camo.

Except I wouldn't consider that an "easy" solution, as it'll still eliminate a big chunk of the money for road repairs if most people are charging at home.

The ant perspective photos probably don't help lol.   Don't know when that became a thing.

Yep, nearly the same GVWR as the F650 in the F550 chassis and size and available with 4WD which I don't think the F650 and 750 are.  Quite a few RV manufacturers building super-C's on the F600 chassis.

The Sam’s on Mingo was back down to $3.07 for E10/87 when I filled up on Friday.

Just boils down to personal preference. The market has indicated that most buyers will over buy in a vehicle because they want to.    You can raise 2 young kids in an Escape, but I bet that mom wouldn't turn down an Explorer or Expedition instead if it was an option.
