I really don't think it's too much to ask Ford to make official responses. Look we just had one mag saying delays & one saying no. Like it or not Ford has not been upfront. They just argued in the media no hybrid delays only to start moving production & having a 2day shutdown
What are we to...
The nasty government agency in charge of red paint is holding it up. I suspect there isn't enough fe builds in one area to waste precious parts on. Who knows Ford doesn't have the backbone to tell the truth.
Tim seems like a really nice guy, that said he is just another dealer with what we hope is inside information. I want to see a public announcement from a Ford executive. Take some responsibility & stop with the nasty government caused this . The epa can't test what Ford doesn't give them. I...
The dealer that let me test drive a EB said spring on hybrids , & another said 6 months. March is roughly 6 months. If we have to wait that much longer Ford should throw us a bone too, think free and earlier. Maybe a free lux package for w a icing lol.
I watched a video on lowering the transit connect & it looks extremely easy. I'm 65 & will be 66 by the time I see my hybrid, the spring kits will be everywhere
I had a friend that bought a first year Grabber & drove from dealer to brother in laws gas station. Motor/ transmission/ rear end out in no time. A pretty Cammy 302 went in with a 9" rear end. Auto but I don't know which one. By morning he was doing burnouts & looking for Novas lol. BIL had a 62...
Isn't there someone on here that can get a official response from Ford? Ford has to be monitoring this forum & not saying a word. We're big boys & girls & can take the truth. If spring is true, than tell us.
Mobil 1. That said Boxer engines have a tendency of failed head gaskets. The oil can't completely drain & just lays on the gasket. BMW / Honda motorcycles & Porcshe boxers ALL have this problem.
I owned a 2010 Forester bought new & it started to use oil about 75k miles. Blown head gasket. That engine had a timing belt so belt, tensioner, pulleys, water pump both head gaskets & $ 3500 later I had my fill of Subaru. Never again will I buy a boxer even in a Porcshe.
The only thing that kept me from a hybrid was the $10k premium on price. Maverick offers hybrid technology at Civic / Corolla prices. This is the thing that's held this platform back.
