I'm not seeing "bulbous" from the snow one.   I just see a mule with extra camo.

So lets look at this logically-   Part of the reason the Mach E had so much wiring was because it was a first generation product and Ford was learning by doing. I'm sure that Ford has been looking at trying to rein in the amount of wiring on ICE products for years, so there isn't as much low lying fruit as there would be on a first gen product.    I get that control modules could be eliminated due to software defined vehicles, but at the same time the computer that is running everything is significantly more expensive as a single unit then control modules that are being built on chip processes from 20 years ago or more that have all the bugs worked out in them already. Then add in the costs of doing this on existing ICE products-I'm just questioning if the juice is worth the squeeze on some products, given how unsettled the future is with at least in the US, the leadership changing back to EVs only in next couple of years.    I'm against combining the infotainment and control modules from a cybersecurity standpoint-you have easy access via USB or Bluetooth that would make things much easier to get into the actual controls of car. Not sure what mitigations (firewalls etc) are being used in other products that are doing this.       

Yeah, there comes a point when people have to realize that a vehicle isn't perfect and will wear out.  I mean, some of these are 8 years old!  Seriously, things wear out over time, especially things that are used nearly 100% of the time the car is in use.  What's next, recalls because tires wear out after 10 years and 200k miles?  A safety issue because brakes don't last 15 years?  Geez!

Had a similar issue on my 2006 Ford Fusion - the chrome "plating" on the interior plastic door handle pull had bubbled and began to peel causing a sharp edge to form from the plating....I replaced the handle and continued on... 

...Ford could issue two pair of leather work gloves to owners of affected vehicles...  

That would be an interesting name for it - Ford Falcon. Resurrects a name from Fords storied past. Hasn't been used in North America for decades, would also fit in nicely in Australian market....

See this looks fine to me and I feel like I'm going crazy lol. I think it's because when it's under a sheet, you can make out some of the creases and shapes better than either are covered on the mule, or washed out by the camo pattern. Like that looks pretty blocky, whereas the images of the truck in the snow look incredibly bulbous lol. 

Also, lol at the horrid 4-spoke design despite it having 5 lug nuts.

I tried to overlay the Maverick on that side profile image and it didn't work out right....I'll post it anyway, but it doesn't make sense.   What I was able to do was try some more measuring...   Forgive the multiple lines, as I was trying to figure out some perspective, but that wasn't that helpful.   I took the rim size, which we know is 20", and then stacked it three times from the ground.....directly stacking 3 of them gives you 60" (in theory), and the green line shows where this would be.....so looks like it'll be around 58 ish inches tall.       here's the failed overlay of Maverick...but it doesn't make sense because there's no way the Maverick is that much bigger, hence my attempt at looking at proportion lines, but they didn't skew enough to help.....if anyone has suggestions, I'm game for trying things.  

I think there's a decent size overlap if price points are similar, but obviously there's a chunk of people that are ICE (or at best, hybrid) only for a while.
