Our city has full sized trucks and suvs and the county has explorers.  I bet none of them would go back to a car.

Not quite true.  They have both dry and wet clutch versions.  The dry clutch works fine with lower power engines.  The problem is the fiesta and focus engines were over the limit.  They should have used the wet clutch version but that didn't meet mpg targets so managers ignored it, got their bonuses and said screw the future issues.

The answer is here    

Does not apply to me, we are close to empty nesters that downsized from larger SUV's and the wife much prefers the size of the Escape. What the ratio of buyer types I do not know.

I like to order a platinum plus package but without sunroof and clearance light can I do that?

This just dawned on me, we are missing the van that is going to OHAP as part of Ford Pro. 

Maybe extended range comes with AWD?   I find it hard to believe they wouldn't have that option as well.

Shrug.....that's certainly a "plain sight" item.       I guess the real question is - are these six new nameplates, or just new "products".......because the latter could also just mean a redesigned model, at which point on the timeline of up to 2030, includes next-gen F-150, Bronco, and Maverick, which would be 3 right there......Add in Fathom, Mach 4, and "F-100" as TTP gets something, and you're at 6 right there without adding additional models.

Nah I think some early adaptor EV owners where/are pretentious because they look at the vehicle as an extension of themselves and think they are doing something better then other drivers out there, sorta like how hybrids where with the Prius-it was a status symbol till it wasn't.    So with going on what Borg is saying, no AWD option for it?

Some of those sensors would be used for other things like collision pre assist, lane keeping and Cruise control that are already found on lower end products like the Bronco Sport and I guess Maverick. I'm guessing Ford is looking at how they can combine these sensor packages to make them cheaper/easier to replace.
