JP, thanks for your thoughts. Always appreciated.

T couldn’t work out if you we’re being sarcastic here as the  Bronco is BOF while Bronco Sport is C2 unitary body like Escape   No, it’s now coined Bronco Basecamp, designed by JMC for Ford and definitely unitary construction that’s a little bit like Mustang Mach E, unitary body with Center battery and frame with front and rear subframes. Scout as a curiosity for those who can afford? Guys, trying not to be facetious to VW but the Scout project is all about Ford refusing VW permission to sell the T6 based Amorok in North America, an early misconception VW execs had when they signed up to the original T6 Amorok supply deal. VW will do their spin on a Scout but it will have VW electrical and switchgear in it, VW engines and drives……good luck with all of that   (VW started this project before all the recent financial troubles in its European home market)

I like the PHEV Ranger but it struggles against good Chinese based rivals that use electrified front and rear axles producing more odd engine torque and horsepower.   Ranger PHEV is aimed at being an alternative to the diesel version, especially for buyers who do more short runs where the diesel can’t do regen cycles - that is now a big issue with vehicles not getting long enough run times at highway speed. just thinking, For North America, using the 2.3 EB hybrid setup and smaller battery from Explorer  might be a more economical option to give buyers as an easy rollout that sits within Existing Ranger PHEV engineering modules…

Where’s the throw up emoji when you need it for those greenhouses.   he was trying to say that somehow that was the Mercury Cougar lol

Did Ford said Bronco hybrid is confirmed? So Ranger hybrid would be a slam dunk... very little incremental cost to offer it. 

It's hygroscopic meaning it absorbs water over time.  It should need to be changed at 9 years but if the test strip says it's ok then it's probably ok.   But if it was mi e I would change it next year for sure.

So my 2017 explorer with 40k miles on it hasn't ever had the brake fluid changed. I'm trying to get a consensus on if it needs the fluid changed in the near future or not.    Took it in for an oil change this morning, and they said it looked fine. They tested it with like this little vile think. They said you only need to replace the fluid if it's dark or gets these little particles in it. I had two separate techs test it and they both said it looked fine.    What would you recommend? Changing it anyways, or holding off for now?

I'm so glad the trend of doing super funky greenhouses on otherwise normal looking cars is dying off. These are cool student or side projects. But if something like those ever actually went into production... yikes. 

One of the main goals of the heritage fleet is to inspired future designs and products. This design wouldn't be a bad place to start for that small affordable sporty EV sedan Falrey has mentioned. Like a sleeker, sexier take of a model 3. 

Sorry, what are you trying to say lol?
