Broken record again😎...think of a monster 6.7 Power Stroke under the hood of a 650/750....and to swallow the story we are being fed, they can't solve the under heat issue when a Godzilla takes the place of a 6.7. Educate me please...Higher compression issues in the 6.7 ..Better yet, 6.7 in a 350/450/550/600. in an under hood space that has to be significantly less than the space in a 650/750 tilt hood.
Meantime, over on the 7.0 thread........
Hopefully this isn't all we get. It's ok, I'm sure it'll grow on me. There's just something going on with Ford design at the moment. The ideas are there, but the execution seems to be struggling. Maybe their new head of design will right the ship, but it just feels like the design talent they have right now isn't what it was 5-10 years ago.
While it is not the case that the only way to deliver new products is to cancel existing products, making decisions on what new products to introduce and what if any existing products to cancel is basic economics. It's not exclusive to Ford.
Remember the definition of economics?
Economics is the study of the use of scarce resources which have alternative uses.
So while Ford has been particularly aggressive in cancelling existing products (most of which were anonymous unibody garbage), every automaker has to contend with scarce resources and alternative uses - economics in other words. The automotive industry isn't like the Garden of Eden where everything was available in unlimited abundance.
Ford chooses to run the minimum number of plants
so that decision makes sense….
was interesting that for a time CD4 products were
built at FRAP both an overflow plant and then the Continental
Not saying they should be doing that but it’s interesting
how Ford’s decision making flipped in just a few short years.
