Just curious, why would an all-electric have to be a uni-body? 🤷🏼♂️
The all-electric F-150 that Ford has demo’d pulling a million pound freight train is BoF..
see for yourself:
I hope you’re right. I need at least 4,000 lb. tow capacity.
Ford showed they knew what they were doing with the Bronco Sport. They made it truly off-road capable (something Honda did not w the Ridgeline).
There are limitations w unibody.. for instance the Honda Ridgeline AWD only has 5,000...
There are many old things that still function and perform their jobs... a more recent example is flip-phones. They make phone calls fine, they have basic location, and can text message...
But it doesn’t mean they’ll be flying off the shelves anytime soon..
It’s called: progress
How can a tiny Ford Fiesta be large? My previous company had one as a runabout. How can you get any smaller than a Fiesta and still have 4 wheels? 💁🏼♂️
With new homes, builders skimp on the garage. They are nowhere near as big as garages of yesteryear. I didn't notice when it was empty...
It is due to SIZE, not PRICE! I want a well-appointed Maverick that is off-road capable (something NO RIDGELINE is capable of)
As far as the Ridgeline being “beefier”, as a 2019 RTL-E owner, all I can say is: 😆😆😆😆. A little Subaru Crosstrek has more ground clearance!
this thing is pathetic in...
Ridgeline Sport is not a luxury vehicle. Base 2WD starts at $34K
I think they will be compared bc both are unibody trucks, but they won’t be cross-shopped, as they are in different size classes. The Ranger and Ridgeline ARE cross-shopped, and based on sales #s, the Ranger wins! And is far more...
If Ford makes this just a cheap Escape with a truckbed, they will
1. Have sales as anemic as Honda has had
2. Be the laughing stock of the truck market
I don’t think Ford would want either of those things. Why would you damage your reputation as the King of Trucks?
I think Ford is going to...
I understand that, but the previous commenter said the Ridgeline on paper is exactly what he wants...
I was giving him pros & cons...i.e. which features Ford should copy and which they shouldn’t..
I can tell you as an owner, the thing is an enigma.. a love/hate relationship
Things I love, things I hate...
Love: folding rear seat, 2-way tailgate, inbed storage, spare under truckbed instead of under truck. Hope Ford is listening to these.
Hate: Super low ground clearance, wheel wells...
It really is convenient. I can pop the latch and fold it up and latch it at the top on both the 60 and the 40 split w just one hand. And you have all that storage space under the seats even when you have passengers.
