Ford dropping AM radio from SYNC

[93nighthawk]

You thought not having a CD player was bad, It looks like Ford will be dropping AM radio on some models.

Now that is Bullshit! I know about half of us still listen to AM (especially when the Bluetooth disconnects our phone) AM is a very informative choice for Radio. You have Right Wing, Left Wing, Sports, Traffic and weather instantaneously. No cord or Bluetooth needed and it comes on as soon as the vehicle starts.

Don't they also use AM as the Emergency Radio Frequency if the shit hits the fan?

Well damn

They can take the radio out as far as I am concerned. Never turn one on.

My first thought was What! No! But then again, I can stream my AM if I want to or FM for that matter. But, I would rather have it free in my truck.

Honestly I don’t remember ever using AM so it really doesn’t bother me.

My '69 Buick ONLY had AM radio.

You can only stream if you have connection to the internet. Should the world go from sugar to shit, and the internet is down, the AM band might come in handy

Does the 2022 (and upcoming 2023) Maverick still include AM radio in all trims?

Isn’t that the time of day when the sun comes up? Ford can’t take that away. Can they?

I don't think about those things. Besides, the last thing I'll be concerned about when the world goes from sugar to shit is if I have AM radio or the internet. I'll be too busy shooting zombies in the head.

Oh that's just the beginning of what they can do.

The Am band is where you'll be hearing the locations of Zombies though.

Maybe Ford could make it at least an option ? Agreed it might be good for an emergency...if it's an option Ford could make a little off it if it's chosen ....
