Ford should just drop the 6.8L and eliminate the extra engine from the lineup.  The difference between it and the 7.3L is negligible, and it's one less thing to build, upgrade, etc.   I'm assuming that's their plan after dropping it from the Super Duty.

Ford should put the 6.8L in E-Series and focus 7.3L to Super Duty. 

My park recall was just done on an overnight OTA update. 

6.8 is said to be available in the F150 soon. 

Show me a $29,000 Chrysler and I will show you a sh*tbox.  

Yea, you nailed it jpd80 my friend - that’s the ultimate question that determines Ford’s future success (or lack thereof).   Not all the Ford old dogs, especially among the big shots, are capable of learning new tricks, but many of the topics discussed here on this forum suggest that Ford’s corporate culture is finally changing for the better, driven by the newest and brightest folks at the skunkworks for example.  Hopefully Ford lifers like Galhotra won’t screw things up  

As a whole, yes, but a lot of the ones that affect the automotive industry remain in place because they used other laws to justify. 

It’s still working its way through the courts last I knew. I haven’t been paying that much attention to it. 

So is your proposal that they'd move Maverick to TTP completely, giving it its own factory?  Which would let Hermosillo produce that van (if that's still a thing....can't remember anymore).     As pointed out, that was his point - you already have a globally amortized platform with both Ranger volume and Bronco volume.....to drop it for something else new?     I don't see that selling in enough volume to be worth it.  They've already cut back 2-door Bronco a lot.  A 2 door truck, IMO, is DOA.

How about this?  Ranger fundamentally unchanged, rides out the series with periodic re-imaginings, Bronco "pickup" derived from modified T6 which has a short boxlet bustle.
