REPORT: Ford Maverick, Bronco EVs Pushed Back to Next Decade
ehaase replied to ice-capades's topic in E.V. Central
Since Ford was planning to drop the Escape and produce the Maverick and Bronco Sport EV's in the Louisville plant, I just wonder what will happen to that plant now. -
Motor Trend 2023 Truck of the Year
ehaase replied to rperez817's topic in Ford Motor Company Discussion Forum
ICE powered F150 will be in production through at least the end of 2033 and ICE powered Super Duty will be in production through at least the end of 2034, so it seems it is premature to panic about the issue. Who knows what world will be like then? I likely will have purchased my final vehicle by then. -

Don't assume what those of you in the most liberal and urban part of the country want is what the rest of the country wants. -
I know that the main moderator at FIN became discouraged with Ford when it discontinued most of the sedan models and stopped posting. He posted here a lot also, but I don't remember his name.

2024 US Spec Ranger XLT spy shots
ehaase replied to silvrsvt's topic in Ford Motor Company Discussion Forum
Of course, for 71 it was Boss 351, which was its only year. Boss 302 and 429 were 69 and 70 only. I like both the 71-73 and the Mustang II, which was a decent car for its era, contrary to popular opinion. In my opinion, the current model is too expensive, too overstyled, and maybe too capable. -
Auto Forecast spreadsheet shows Cherokee coming back in mid 2025 on STLA Large platform in Toluca, Mexico where EV Jeeps Recon and Wagoneer S will also be made. My understanding is STLA large can be ICE RWD/AWD or BEV FWD, AWD, or RWD, so I don't know if it means Cherokee comes back as EV or RWD/AWD ICE vehicle closer to the old Jeep Liberty. Also, Cherokee was almost same size as Compass, except for longer front section needed to accommodate the V6. Compass is being improved with standard 2.0L turbo and AWD. Auto Forecast spreadsheet shows Compass moving to STLA Medium platform in late 2025 and will be made at Canadian plant now making LX cars.

The Auto Forecast spreadsheet says the BEV Mustang coupe will arrive in 2029. The SUV coupe arrives 2026. -

Law enforcement and old fashioned people, just as with the last ten years of the Panthers. -

Spreadsheet shows Aviator EV and Navigator ICE as only Lincoln products after 2025, but spreadsheet is probably not 100% accurate or complete. -

That Auto Forecast spreadsheet also showed an Escape EV (CX 823, GE 2.1 platform) going into production at Louisville 1/5/2026, but I would think a Maverick EV and Bronco Sport EV would make more sense. -

My 1985 1/2 Escort with the 1.9L had 85 hp. My father's 1981 Escort with the 1.6L had 69 hp. Life wasn't so terrible.

It will be interesting to see how the Charger does. If it flops, Ford may reconsider whether an EV Mustang coupe/convertible is worth developing. -

I agree with most of your points, but akirby is the one prominent person here with a balanced outlook and concerns about affordability. -

Hybrid/AWD Dead for Next Gen Mustang
ehaase replied to silvrsvt's topic in Ford Motor Company Discussion Forum
The politicians in the big states which have enough electoral votes to determine who will be president won't allow ICE cars to continue. Life will be very hard for everyone that is poor or working or middle class. I see no evidence that the price of EV's will come down. I think Ford will be perfectly happy making EV F series and derivatives, Transit, Explorer, Ranger, Bronco, MME, and nothing else. -

It will be interesting to see how well the Dodge Charger does. I think the Dodge and Chrysler nameplates will be gone within 10 years if not much sooner.
