Yea, exactly. Sadly getting stuck in neutral is an accurate description of Ford’s U.S. EV lineup between when I bought my F-150 Lightning in 2022 and my wife’s MME this year.
Bottom line is that Ford needs to bring new products to market faster. Then these facilities that the head honcho calls “some of the best factories we’ve ever built” will be making something sooner rather than later
I'm not talking about the platform. I'm talking about the body/interior/what the customer sees.
The current model dates back to 2011, with a refresh in 2014. As of today, it's already been 14 years since a full redesign, and 11 since a refresh. By the time this new one rolls out for 2029, it'll be 17 years since a redesign, and 14 years from a refresh. That's ridiculous.
Yeah but I was talking about needing to discount it because it’s old which was referring to the current one. I thought it was referring to the new one.
The side profile/long front end reminds me a little of this Ford sculpture from 2020:

You must not know Vaughn Gittin or RTR and you must have skipped the equipment list.
Electronic Drift brake, turbo anti-lag, Brembo brakes, dark horse suspension. This is a performance bargain o side ring it’s based on premium or base high package.
The mustang starts at 32k with the GT at 46k. 8k is a big jump, unless this is only offered on the premium trim and then it’s only 4k. I think the better option would have been to make this an appearance package only. Add the RTR grille, wheels, a hood from the GT and call it a day. It would be cheaper to make, cost less, and in my opinion, sell more. I think ford should do the same with the bronco too.
