Why do you think this is 'late?' Late to what? Ford said 'available Fall 2021.' If it was December 22 I would call it late. The trucks are not released for sale yet. Some will be produced over the next few weeks but they will be held for measuring and inspection at Hermosillo. When they get...

Henry Ford was only the 'chief engineer' of the original Ford Motor Company. He was not the owner as most believe. Ford Motor Company was getting ready to build hand made high $ luxury models like the rest of the industry at that time but Henry had a different idea. Henry wanted to improve the...

I have a BakFlip tri-folding tonneau so the bed stays dry. I am not collecting anything under the rug as well. I do have the version that covers the bed floor and then up the tailgate so the gap between the tailgate and the bed floor is covered keeping the water out. I also have the drop in...

Thanks for the information....I have been watching their site so you scooped the news! I have one in the Ranger and the Mav will be getting one as well!

Saint Clair Shores here...Lariat Lux Hybrid ordered 6/28. No build date yet.

Well, the price will never go down. If anything, the first year will be least expensive ever. In 2019 I bought a new first model year Ranger Supercrew XLT FX4. I opted for the high level XLT package at the time to get heated seats...a blessing when my back gets wrenched. When I was doing the...

This is EXACTLY what Ford communicated weeks ago...that it would not be building any stock Hybrids and would be producing customer vehicles only. This is not a change in direction, this is not confusing, this is not new news. What is new news is the constant spinning that goes on here 'reading...

Yup, I drove a 1983 GT 5.0 for 8 years. I learned that it is more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow. Going wide open throttle on the Mustang was a blast but you only had a few seconds before you were in the trouble zone. So, like you I ended up in the 'gotta drive it slow'...

So you want to start name calling? Get this....THIS TRUCK IS NOT IN PRODUCTION YET! Flat out nothing else is going to matter. Either sit tight or move on.

"Normally" the public does not even know about any of these build plans let alone there is even a new truck coming. The announcement date would take place AFTER the Okay to Sell milestone has been achieved and stock units are rolling to the dealers (Think 2020 Escape). There are no...

This is just for this week people. Relax. Next week it will be a different list. Don't keep moving your configuration around based on these ups and downs.

Mine just covers the bed bottom but it is a single piece that also progresses up the tailgate. It is not the one that carpets the sides as well. It also extends up the tailgate so It seals off the gap between the tailgate and the bed making the bed area pretty water resistant. I also cover...

Exactly, I like my BedRug in the Ranger and the Mav will have one as well.

Ford made the Hybrid Flat Towable so there has to be a way to get the baseplate tow hookups to the front of the truck. When I saw the pictures early on I thought those were plugs that were removable. Reports from the field looking at pre-production units say they are not removable. There must...

Maybe so the muffler can be cut off and then you can drive it to the cruise events and make noise like all the big growd up trucks?

Sometimes I feel like the Roman Guards in Monty Python's "Life of Brian" watching the People's Front fight with the Judean Front over an internet rumor. I wish there was a meme on that one!

These are being shown at the dealer meeting in Dallas. Why would Ford show them if there were no plans?

While we wait just look up YT videos for Escape Hybrid drive tests (not the plug in). When I was thinking 2.0L vs Hybrid I watched 2 or 3 that were pretty good. Every one I watched thinks the Escape accelerates 'fine.' I watched one where it was a comparison to a RAV4 and the Escape was quicker.

Yes, exactly. When stopping for fuel, rest areas, switching drivers, eating meals, visiting roadside attractions, etc. it will be no problem to run the vehicle for the required minute. I typically do a walk around the rig anyway at every stop to check tire temps, make sure doors are still...

My 2019 + Ranger 4x4 is flat towable up to 65 MPH. Yay! 5 more MPH with the Maverick. 🥂
