akirby Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 (edited) Ford has said basically everything in the lineup will have a hybrid option and maybe plug in option. The whole thing with pushbutton start is not having to use the key at all. Everything except commercial vehicles which I take as Super Duty and maybe full sized Transit. I don't understand push button start without IA, but maybe that's just me. Like you said - defeats the purpose. Edit - unless you leave your vehicle unlocked all the time.

jasonj80 Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Don't know if its true for launch but have heard the Aviator will be the first car Ford has that you will be able to use your phone or smart watch to start and drive. Will not need keys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fordmantpw Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Jason...that can be domne right now if your car is compatible...through the Fordpass app....another thing ill never have a need for..... You still need the fob to drive with the Ford Pass app. The Aviator won't need the key at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 You still need the fob to drive with the Ford Pass app. The Aviator won't need the key at all. Correct. You can actually unlock, start and drive the car with only your phone. With a backup pin code in case of phone problems. I think a few luxury mfrs are doing it now but not many.

Deanh Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 (edited) the phone thing scares me....1) I hate carrying the friggen thing, I have to re-boot my stupid I phone all the time, not only that the battery dies all the bloody time or gets low, and Ive dropped it, drowned it in Savignon Blanc...Im not phone friendly....Ill take the key please..shoot, Ill even take a fob over the phone.....

Deanh Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 (edited) ...don't forget...those novelties play a major part in owners complaints.....lol....it may be my accent, but voice prompts are still somewhat of a crapshoot...better, but still hit or miss..really don't see the point of half of the gimmicky gismos, but that may be a reflection of a guy that prefers a stick shift but spends most of his time utilizing a form of transportation sans power seats, mirrors, Air conditioning, safety belts , airbags, audio system, heated anything...starts with a key and has a kickstand....AND enjoys the crap out of it....lol.

I dont understand.....so where do you put your keys now if you dont like them in your pockets? Itd be no different with a keyless one, except you wouldnt have to take them out to use it.

I have a feeling 80% of people waiting for the Bronco are going to be disappointed with what comes out. There will be something that is wrong with it, and they wont buy it. Not sure how many of them would have been actual customers though. Edited August 15, 2018 by jasonj80 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can imagine what he fury from the redneck mouth breathing crowd will be when they announce no V8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanh Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 (edited) Im REALLY curious about the hybrid...if not a 2.7 eco boost would be fantastic...preferably with a stick shift , but we all know that wont happen….just want to be able to tow a small camper of some sort...

Depending on how the electric motors were configured if would actually be good off road as youd be able to control each wheel individually. But like fuzzy said the rednecks are going to be crazy there isnt a V8 even though the turbo v6 would have plenty of power to tow their home/lab to a new location; they will also complain it doesnt start at 19k.

akirby Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 FWD Hybrids are 2.0, RWD are 3.3 and 3.0EB. At least through 2020. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also really curious about it also-It's on my list of stuff I'd like in my Bronco-my commute is changing a bit (going from 17 to 12.8 miles or so) so a hybrid might be the ticket some major savings gas wise since most of the drive will be in local stop and go traffic. So I'd like the following in my Bronco: Whatever fancy roof they are offering Still not decided if I want a 2 or 4 door 4x4 Hybrid Heated seats/steering wheel Copilot 360 Sync3 B&O would be nice, but I'm trying to keep the price right at the 40K mark.

SRAces Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 (edited) Well I've given my final Ranger configuration to my local dealer to order. It tops out at $45,720. More than I paid for my 2004 F-150 SuperCrew Lariat 4X4 with everything you could get on it....lol! Had to get the Saber color. My only negative about getting the Saber color is that you have to add the Sport Package. So you lose the 18 inch machined aluminum wheels with stealth gray inserts and get the magnetic painted wheels as standard on the Sport Package. I would have taken the standard Lariat wheels mentioned easily if there had been the ability to delete the magnetic rims. Now you have to pay an additional $895 over the Sport Package price just to get rid of the magnetic rims and get back to a rim similar to what comes as standard on the Lariat. That's the only complaint I have. Edited August 16, 2018 by SRAces 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akirby Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Also, according to that 2020 oil spec sheet leaked, a 2.5 which I presume is FWD I had to go back and look but you’re right - they list both the 2.0 and 2.5 HEV (Atkinson cycle). Interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
