I don't think you'll get a reply from him - he has not been back here since 11/07/2021....  

Yes....yes it was. Glad someone was paying attention. LOL

Ford keeps "going to the well" about anything that is groundbreaking and claiming it is their "Model T moment" when if you study it...CE1 would be more like their "Model A moment" since Ford stubbornly clung to Model T while the competition zoomed past Ford in sales and market share as Hank continued to soldier on with the Model T.....When Model A was introduced, it was radically different in every way and was a huge success. 

The Titan was discontinued in 2024.

Remember when Toyota and Nissan entered the truck wars? Everyone thought it was over for the big three... Toyota does dominate in midsize trucks with their perennial top seller Tacoma but Tundra, Titan and even Frontier are all sputtering along while Ford, GM and RAM own the truck market.....will it last? Maybe...but don't get your hopes up.   Competition improves the breed for sure, but I don't see anything changing dramatically in the truck wars.  

There is something off visually with the rear quarter panel/fender. It’s either over embellished (super wide) or the cabin is relatively narrow compared to Bronco/Wrangler. 

Not sure on PACCAR yet but I feel it will end up about the same (octane costing more) as Freightliner insists the increase is coming from the Cummins side - they aren't padding their profits on the Octane.  Freightliner says Cummins is charging a lot more for the Octane compared to the current B6.7.      Maybe this is temporary as once the new 27CY engines come, and the B7.2 right behind it, that could flip-flop where the Octane is cheaper.   As things stand now, I am hearing the B7.2 will end up ~ $10-20K more than the current B6.7.   (Unless there are changes to some of the emissions rules and/or changes to the standard engine/emissions warranty requirements for 27-28CY.)

Well that makes no sense.  Wonder what the pricing is for the Kenworth.    

FYI - On the Freightliner side, you can get an Allison (29XX model, 9-speed) or the ZF transmission (8-speed) with the Cummins Octane engine.   The transmissions are about the same cost, so I suspect most will choose Allison.      However, for the same spec, the Octane engine will cost ~ $8,500 **MORE**  than the B6.7 diesel this year......so yeah, good luck with that Freightliner.  I don't expect many buyers to go for that.   That's way out of whack to where it needs to be as most customers will expect the gas motor to be cheaper.     

The ad and marketing big shots at Dodge thought the old Charger was a hybrid 😄
