Not surprising at all considering how limited the GTD is gonna be. Dealers know buyers chasing a halo car like this usually aren’t walking away over another fee. Still wild to think the store makes that kind of money before the inevitable markup conversation even starts lol.  

I think the shadows are effecting how the c pillar looks in the first pic, making it look a little off. It looks better in the second pic.

To my eye the C pillar design looks really strange with its angle in the first photo..something looks "off" about it   I'm getting ZDX vibes from it    

Before the 6.8 arrived, Ford had the 7.3 available in different power levels in some applications- thinking this might be a better way.   Seems like the only way Ford  learns anything is by losing or wasting money

Its downright shocking to show how little you see of the Fiesta and Focus on the roads today because what I'm assuming is the transmission-I see more ST and RS models (because of the manual transmission) then boring variants. I still see a ton of the Mazda based Escapes on the roads. 

SUV looks good. I kinda like the sedan but would need to see it in person. It looks like a design where if the proportions are slightly off, it could ruin the whole design.

All Ford said was it would be affordable and a new kind of truck.  Everything else is speculation.

I thought I remembered that the new truck going to TTP was geared towards a less expensive work truck. Is it possible it will be a single cab Ranger with a 6'+ bed?

I suspect more manufacturers have supplier quality issues than they let on, they're just not putting recalls out there to resolve them. Ford has been hyper-aggressive about recalls, most brands aren't. Fun fact in that, many parts on vehicles come from common sources. One manufacturer would be making the bulk of the "whichever widget" for all the brands, they just adjust the shape and style. Case in point - the rear parking sensors are identical from the most budget vehicle equipped up through luxury brands. Wiring ends may differ, but the sensors themselves are the same.

Agree 100%. My 2026 Ranger is head and shoulders above my 2020 Ranger. I’m loving it.
