I have already stated that this truck will be the LAST one with the twin panel moonroof.....
I work part time at a Ford dealer, find yourself a good, local T-top repair shop and they will fix you up.. Here in SE PA, there is a great local guy that can repair ANY sun roof for a TON cheaper than any Ford Service facility.. We send all of our "out of warranty " jobs to him.

I can see why you would be worried about this option. It may be great looking but it is a really expensive option for what it is, and I'm not sure many customers are going to be willing to pay it.
I don’t see how there won’t be some lawsuits over this for those that paid for the upgrades, which they likely wouldn’t have done otherwise, and now any dealer can sell them with no upgrades.
Of course this is the way it should have been from the beginning I might add.
There’s also an obligation to give dealers products to sell and service but long term, well designed BEVS will probably become low maintenance.
the thing that strikes me as odd is the lack of light weighting going on with BEVs to offset the weight of batteries. Things like stamped and glued aluminium body shells and fittings would seem like a no brainer but probably cost prohibitive now.
Lots to look forward when Ford combines all available tech.
What Ford needs is a suite of vehicles that people want to buy now and in the near future, it’s pointless trying to push overpriced BEVs that don’t work for most customers but that’s where hybrids and PHEVs come in. Ford needs those transitional EVsto move customers from plain ICE to electrified vehicles. CAFE is constantly edging up in the background so the clock is ticking.
The big issue is Blue Oval Center, the huge money dropped on building that massive BEV facility is a worry but, it’s probably cheaper to build in todays cash than say five or ten years time. I simply doubt that anything like its capacity will be needed until the end of the decade. The thing is that the current REV Center has more than enough capacity for BEV F150 for the next four or five years…
I reckon we will hear more changes over the next year or so, especially if the economy really starts to slow and inventory keeps piling up. It’s then that we’ll see Ford cut and run on certain things to save money immediately. No matter how good and pivotal Mach E is, sales have never lived up to expectations and its pricing is becoming a challenge for Ford.
I have a 66 Mustang that was hit in the right rear corner. I do paint and body work but need something to start with.
I'm looking for the corner section that is cut from a car or looking for a car close enough to where I live that I can cut off what I need.
I live in White Lake Michigan which is near Pontiac Michigan.
Yes I can buy everything I need new from NPD but would rather use a cut off portion.
Thanks
