Missing the point-only a handful of those 35K mavericks might actually have an issue.
It’s just like the Valve spring issue with the 2.7L on the Bronco.
That is pretty much the same arrangement as my daughter’s 23 Escape. I’m personally not a fan of it. At least in her Escape it was completely unnecessary to move the push button start from where it was located on her 20, as such they wouldn’t have had to move the volume knob to the far side.
It’s a stupid arrangement. Ultimately they took away most of the physical controls and move them to the screen, when they really only needed to add a bigger screen in place of the old one and leave everything else in place. Another instance of where it really only benefits Ford, not the consumer.
I’ve not heard of that particular Forscan option. Try f150forum.com - if it’s possible somebody there figured it out (drive modes generically not yours specifically). Should be similar if possible.
VW to invest up to $5 billion in Rivian in an EV tech joint venture - Autoblog
SAN FRANCISCO — German automaker Volkswagen Group will invest up to $5 billion in U.S. electric-vehicle maker Rivian as part of a new, equally controlled joint venture to share EV architecture and software, the companies said on Tuesday.
Shares of Rivian surged 30% in extended Nasdaq trade after the announcement, boosting the company's stock market value by more than $3 billion.
The investment will provide Rivian — known for its flagship R1S SUVs and R1T pickups — the funding it needs to develop its less-expensive and smaller R2 SUVs that are set to roll out in 2026, CEO RJ Scaringe told Reuters.
Volkswagen will initially invest $1 billion in Rivian and a further $4 billion later, the companies said.
The partnership will help Volkswagen accelerate its plans to develop software-defined vehicles (SDV), with Rivian licensing its existing intellectual property rights to the joint venture.
While EV startups have been grappling with a slowdown in demand amid high interest rates and dwindling cash, traditional automakers have struggled to build battery-powered vehicles and advanced software.
The source left out HD pickup trucks. That's why there are so few Ford, Mopar, and GM models on that list.
No matter what the source, Honda and Toyota are way ahead of everyone else for long lasting sedans, minivans, etc. while Ford, Mopar, and GM have long lasting trucks especially HD.
Another source of long lasting cars and trucks, not Consumer Reports, has this list:
