That's somewhat the nature of driving a solid front axle heavy duty pickup.  It's improved in the 2011+ trucks, and even more with 2017+.   Steering stabilizer might help.

Right, except they'll have our Ford Bronco, and this Ford Bronco......that's completely different with the same name in the same showroom.   Bronco "New Energy" is silly.

Hi everyone, I’m dealing with a coolant intrusion issue on my 2017 Ford Escape Titanium 2.0L EcoBoost (below 48k miles). Diagnosed by a Ford dealer as misfire on cylinder #4 due to coolant loss—consistent with the known EcoBoost engine defect. Despite early detection, full service history, and low mileage, Ford denied goodwill assistance citing vehicle age. Has anyone had success getting Ford to reconsider in similar cases? Tips on escalating or getting a second review would be appreciated. I genuinely love this car and want to keep it, but this has been disheartening. Thanks in advance! Dr. Afework Asgedom

Obviously nothing is official yet, but...     Ford Will Launch New Cars in Europe to Combat Dwindling Sales   But Ford has a plan to bounce back: launch new cars. German business newspaper Automobilwoche reports dealers have been told new metal is on the way. We’ve reached out to Ford for confirmation but haven’t heard back yet. However, the report claims dealers were predictably happy to hear the promise made in a video conference by Christoph Herr, the newly appointed Managing Director of Ford Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. CEO Jim Farley has allegedly green-lit the development of new models to fill some of the void left by the discontinuation of several nameplates, some of which had been around for decades.

You know what they say about trying the same thing over and over again..... 😛 

As stated above, I doubt companies will just throw CAFE targeting efforts by the wayside, though I agree we could see some "temporary" redistribution of sales toward more profitable/higher power/less effiecient versions.

I saw this yesterday.   Supposedly this is coming here too.  I don't see how it's going to move the needle sales-wise.   It's good they finally refreshed the 3/Y, but they are too reliant on endless repeat/growth sales without replacing their existing product (i.e. replacing S/X), while controversially/questionably entering other segments (Cybertruck).

6 seater?  Not unless the two in back are headless.

Im sure they’ll continue to pay offsets out of the goodness of their hearts.    From Google: Rivian and Tesla's earnings from CAFÉ and ZEV credits Both Rivian and Tesla benefit significantly from the sale of regulatory credits, which include those related to Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFÉ) standards and Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) mandates.  Tesla In 2024, Tesla's annual revenue from selling regulatory credits reached a record high of $2.7 billion. In the first quarter of 2025, Tesla earned $595 million from these credit sales. Historically, this revenue stream has played a crucial role in Tesla's profitability, representing a significant portion of their net income, sometimes reaching 43%. Since 2009, Tesla has earned nearly $9 billion from selling carbon credits.  Rivian In 2024, Rivian generated $325 million in revenue from the sale of automotive regulatory credits. A substantial portion of this revenue, approximately $300 million, came from the fourth quarter of 2024 alone. These credit sales are nearly pure profit for Rivian, with minimal overhead costs. Notably, Rivian's gross profit in the fourth quarter of 2024 was around $170 million, meaning that without the sale of these credits, the company would have experienced a significant negative gross profit.
