Yes, forgot how Lincoln lifted last month……good to see them getting some traction

Great conversation guys and it makes me think several things… At the time of ceasing Lightning production, Ford wasn’t ready to cancel it outright  so I suspect that its highly likely that Ford did as akirby  suggests and proceeded with chasing down a viable EREV redux. I wonder if the silence on Lightning EREV is that buyers are actually happy with the current offering, perhaps clinics are showing that there’s some interest but maybe no more than BEV Lightning? Mind you, something like EREV Lightning is probably of more interest to international markets…

As a kid growing up in Miami my neighborhood had the McMansions yet you would see Explorer, Mustangs, Town Cars sitting comfortably in the garages.  A good friend of mine  divorced her husband, who is a part owner of a dealership here in Orlando.  She has an F150 XLT that's 4 years old. I'm like, "Why not just get a King Ranch? Not like you have to pay for it, " she's like, "Anthony, I cant parallel park on Park Avenue when we meet for drinks"....Point...Real money doesn't need to show it.

I don’t think it sees the light of day. I do think a true BEV F-150 will come back around. But it may be a decade till battery tech improves charge time and weight.    I also wonder if we will see the F-Series go back to steel body panels rather than Aluminum. More providers of steel than aluminum, after the fires showing the dangers of the current supply chain. A weight increase that could be offset with wiring reductions and other weight reductions via lessons learned from the skunk works EV team. 

Could have been worse.  Lincoln had very solid gains aside form the Corsair.  And heavy truck down 46.7%...

I think it was more of an engineering exercise to test the waters.  I don't think they expected big volume.  That also means it's not a priority and I'm sure Ram's issues have them concerned.  I still question the market for it.

Makes one wonder if Ford is truly committed to the F-150 EREV or was it a PR maneuver to ease the backlash of canceling the Lightning? Ford has to be watching RAM's numerous delays/problems with their EREV.

I have it on good word that Rangers make excellent toads.

I bet the lower mpg had to do with emissions, similar to Ford lowering their engine outputs last year.
