6PM-9PM PST. I'm wondering how on earth they're going to stretch this for three hours. 😁

I picked a bad time to buy a share of Ford haha. It was only a tiny bit but I can at least hold out hope for a bump from more energy deals and UEV launch.

Well, May was a bloodbath.  Only 5 models had increases, everything else was down....   https://s205.q4cdn.com/882619693/files/doc_news/2026/Jun/03/Ford-U-S-May-2026-Sales-Release.pdf               Bronco Sport isn't absorbing Escape sales....I guess they'll argue Explorer is doing better.... I guess Ford is content to just let Lincoln dealers lose all Corsair volume instead of bringing over the Chinese model...

Self-inflicted wounds.  Other companies managed to go in heavy on EVs AND keep their ICE lineup fresh, while Ford couldn't/wouldn't.

I won't tune in....I'll see it tomorrow lol.

420K Ford Expedition, Lincoln Navigator SUVs Recalled Over Seat Belt Issue

At the very least, we're going to see a lot of new and updated models by 2030.  Covid and going all in on EVs for a few years really screwed things up at Ford.  And that was coupled with killing off their cars not long before that.  

Does this mean the Ranger PHEV sells well? I don’t know whether or not Ford intends to export the skunk truck to Australia, Hilux BEV doing poorly is hard to parse since Toyota is getting dogwalked in general. I’m not sure if the Ranger and skunk truck are really direct competitors with each other, but the PHEV Ranger could perhaps give some insight into part of the customer base for it.   As an aside since I’ve been ranting about what the Chinese are doing right, one thing that Ford seems to really not be improving on is development cycles. I find that kind of concerning especially when speed and execution are needed for Ford’s lineup. Ironically this is the only damn thing the idiots at Stellantis seem to be progressing in. 

Then Honda should base it on a CRV architecture rather than the Pilot. It’s a city truck anyhow. The better fuel economy in a slightly smaller size would sell better to their long term customers.    Ridgeline tow capacity is 5k pounds. Maverick Hybrid is 4k pounds.
