Exactly! Look at who they are marketing this vehicle to. Do they look like the type who want to crawl under a vehicle and wrestle with an oil filter? They are more concerned with how many bikes or kayaks they can fit into the bed, and probably wouldn’t be able to tell you where the oil filter is. And could care less. Ford hopes to help them by doing the oil changes FOR them. Look at the trend - old shade-tree mechanics like me are a thing of the past. In truth, vehicles are so complex now that even I don’t really want to work on them (being old contributes to that). This is the trend, and the future - where you pay someone to do everything. It took me 20 years to construct one Experimental aircraft from raw materials and a set of plans. Can you imagine how crazy that seems to the latest generations, who expect instant gratification?
