And a few years back that would be entirely true but the fact today is that BYD’s vertical integration of its battery production is clearly where it has huge scales of efficiency over other brands. There are still some incentives there and Europe needs to watch out for that with its anti dumping  legislation…..china will try to flood Europe with low cost BEVs, th big issue is if there are no  evidence of incentives, the European auto industry will be severely hit by unintended consequences  of a rather harsh pathway to vehicle electrification.   The Chinese brands like BYD have actually displaced most of those sales in the Chinese market meaning that money from sales stays in China while reduction inJapanese, Korean and western brands sales reflect that…….notice how Ford no longer shares any sales data regarding China, all of that is becoming wasted investment in respect to Chinese sales

More teasers   https://www.instagram.com/reel/DUqls9MkXNc/   If that airflow graphic is anything close to the production truck, it sure sits up a lot higher then I expected 

Toyota is the midsize juggernaut like Ford is in the fullsize segment.  On the flip side, Toyota's full size sales are 17.8% of Ford's....

Thanks for that.  Ford has ground to make up on Toyota in the smaller trucks but maverick helps a lot.

This is overall (including full size)           Combining midsize and compact would really just be the numbers listed above, plus Maverick's 155,051 since they're the only entrant now, which would put Ford in 2nd, at 226,011.   I quickly did it for you....this is compact+midsize......models on the left, companies on the right.

Only two compact trucks for sale in the US Market and that will be down to one in about 18 months or so.    Then again it might be two, since CE1 is supposed to slot in above the Maverick and be smaller then the Ranger. 

The F-150 got a refresh after the Ranger was shown off (but was delayed due to host of different reasons)   The Maverick got a refresh and the Bronco Sport did also...not new but refreshed.    Ford hasn't had a completely new product/nameplate since 2020/2021 or so, with the Bronco, Bronco Sport and Maverick.    COVID royally screwed up things and Ford EVs plans just compounded that. 

Hi Rick Atkins and welcome to the Blue Oval Forums. Yes, no need for a power flush. However, what I would recommenced is finding a Ford Dealer or independent shop that uses a transmission fluid exchange machine (as opposed to a power flush macine). It will replace far more of the fluid than the DIY, drain/fill/drive, drain/fill/drive, drain/fill/drive method, but without the dangers (ever so slight) that a power flush can sometimes have in certain situations.     In addition, if your 2015 Fusion is AWD, I would highly recommend you have the PTU and RDU fluids drained and filled. Although listed in the Maintenance Schedule as "Lifetime" fluids, they are not. If you plan on keeping your vehicle for sometime, have them replaced.    I am sure others will also jump in to help, so keep us updated and good luck. 

It’s been easy to do since it hasn’t had anything new the past 4/5 years other than Ranger.
