OMG, I owned a Ford Fairmont back in the day. What a garbage car that was. It only started when it was in a good mood.. this picture is giving me nightmares and I'm not even asleep..
We had a Fairmont. I was a piece of crap.

“Ford's margins are still only around 10%,”

No company can survive on a 10% margin.
Not even remotely possible.
Grocery Stores survive on as low as 5% to 6%. There are other businesses that are low margin, but make some up on Volume. Many Restaurants are not much above grocery, and certainly below 10%.

The test I find online is one from June of 2025, and one from December of 2025, so that would be a no.

Show me another video of a 25-26 hybrid and EB running side by side. So far, TFL is the only one I've seen.

But I would love to see another that is at lower elevation than a mile high It would be great to see how much the 5,000' TFL test swayed the numbers compared to less than 1,000' in elevation.
So, the Motor Trend 2026 TOTY test was on different days for the Hybrid and Lobo tests post some links proving they were tested at different times? :confused: It was the Winter 2026 Motor Trend Edition not June or December 2025 Editions and they show all the trucks that were tested together in the same picture? :confused:

In typical TFL fashion, they leave out key details, like fuel. You can be certain the Lobo was running low octane fuel for that test, given the time. 5000 feet of altitude is fractional factor for FI.
Those tests He found were not the ones I was talking about see the post above this one!!

Parents had a Maroon-colored 4-door.

Your parents won the lottery. Very few good cars during the era after the fuel crisis of the 70's. They started getting better in the mid to late 80's. This was the Ford Pinto and Chevy Vega timeline. My Fairmont was the butterscotch color. Ugly and unreliable. Don't miss it. 😂

Something to watch for more info in the coming weeks. Higher trim levels have LED taillights. I have skipped over several pages of this thread. I apologize if this has been noticed previously.
