Remember when it debuted and they insisted the engine didn't power the front wheels at all but then had to retract that after and state it did work with the electric motor at highway speeds lol
I wonder if ford was able to implement the f150s max recline seats into the first and 2nd rows of the new expy. That would be a dope feature to include.
The reason for dropping class 8 was the same. We can make more class 1-5. It almost destroyed class 6 -7. I promise you, if Ford drops class 6-7, class 1 -5 will suffer. A lot of businesses like to stay with one manufacturer/dealer. Just one example is landscaping/tree cutting companies. I know one guy who buys all Fords, from class 2 thru 7. I've said this before and I'll say it again. When Ford dropped class 8, CL&P (now Eversource) and the MDC here in Hartford started buying non-Ford trucks in class 1-7 and also stopped buying strictly Ford CARS only. CT DOT similar story. A full line producer is cars and trucks class 1 - 8. That was around the time Daimler owned Chrysler. Daimler/Freightliner told their customers, "Hey we can fulfill ALL your needs! We have cars, vans, pickups, medium duty and heavy duty vehicles. Like Bob R. says, class 6-7 is doing well.......BY ACCIDENT! Imagine if they got off their rears and went full tilt into 6-7 AND re-entered class 8???!!! That's how you grow business! PACCAR (KW and Pete), International, and Daimler/Freightliner don't sell cars (except for Mercedes). Does anybody get it?!
Yeah, I'd agree with this assessment. I'd also argue that the full size SUVs/trucks are sort of in their own "loyalty" category, whereas other luxury makes in that pricepoint may be more cross shopped (i.e. BMW x7 vs. MB GLS)
Yup, I think they'll see the major changes and not notice those things that didn't.
Right, I was referring to the visual difference, though, since that's the complaint here - the door skins and cab shape were the same as the '04-08 model. But the front, bed, and interior (along with under the skin changes) were completely new, so I'm sure 99% of customers didn't notice the door skins being the same.
Speaking of "negative light" it seemed that the bad guys always drove cars that were not the make of the company supplying the vehicles at the end credits.
No. This is the "Wagoneer S" the S is part of the name.
The Wagoneer is still the "regular" version of the large Expedition/Navigator size model, targeting more on the Expy side of things, while "Grand Wagoneer" is the luxury version of that targets more on the Navigator side of things in one vehicle.
Like I said, the usage of Wagoneer doesn't really fit here, IMO.
MPG is linear. What isn’t linear is actual gas savings vs percentage improvement.
doubling the mpg from 10 to 20 saves 750 gallons a year at 15k miles. Doubling from 25 to 50 only saves 300.
