While it’s common in the segment, I view this as an excuse and can also result in a product becoming uncompetitive by leaving a product too long without a redesign.  At least they’re doing incremental changes and updates (air vents, grab handles etc) to it and not leaving it exactly the same.   remember too, while enthusiasts make up a bigger percentage of Bronco buyers vs other vehicles, they don’t necessarily make up a majority of buyers.  So the average buyer could be interested in them while enthusiasts might not be.  I’d have been interested in a hybrid had it been available.

For HD/Super Duty trucks, those three brands will own the truck market for a long time.   For light duty trucks, Ford and GM are fine. RAM, not so much. Toyota is eatin' RAM's breakfast in that part of the truck market, and if Hyundai succeeds with its truck built specifically for the American market, RAM's lunch and dinner will be eaten by rivals too.    

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.
