I think China will buy ford lol. Chrysler sold out to the Italian, maybe ford is next. They have big money riding on this ranger. I hope it beats all expectations.
Who in the hell knows. No Honda corporate paid plant or troll i don't think..altho the Japanese manufacturers have been accused in past of paid trolls (on enthusiast sites etc) no joke. Theres absolutely been Tacoma Works folks talkin BS on here thats well ! Im in automotive industry ..worked in the industry heavily ..in many aspects since age 23.
Absolutely no evidence of that ..an why would it even be suggested? Ford trucks are rolling out ALL NEW F150 model next yr. Hybrid & all electric to follow! All New Rsnger a yr after that as '22 model. Our current Ranger design more than good enough for next 2yrs amongst competition. My '19 impresses me more & more having just hit 9k mis ..tonite. I've owned tons of trucks & SUVs. Mostly Ford but a few Chevy, 1 Toyota , 1 GMC.
Smart move. Ranger was better than all when I looked as well. Plus I always had great experience over 25yrs w/ Ford trucks . Enjoy!
Haha not a chance. Its not even a thing. Its gonna be a very turbulent yr for ALL automakers make no mistake but as all in the industry know..I've worked in auto industry over 25yrs in many capacities for big companies.. Ford is healthy as any of Big6. They just always under scrutiny as a public traded Co . Altho very much family owned/controlled. They have some $38bil cash on hand an tons liquidity...I've heard. All new Bronco this summer. All new F150 next yr. All new Ranger in '22. All new '20 Explorer is outstanding thinking of getting an ST for fiance. #Ecoboost
More likely Ford and Volkswagen Group. they have a partnership now where they are developing electric vehicles using VW's MEB platform and VW is investing in Ford's ARGO artificial intelligence startup.
This has happened several times in the past, where GM's total truck sales, Chevrolet + GMC, have outsold total Ford and/or total F-150 sales.
not sure about how well they would do building office furniture.
You could be right. I wasn't aware of VW's investment in Ford.
Ford & VW group have quietly aligned already & may further deepen those ties in coming yrs. Ford & VW have history togethor most dont know. Btw, VW really, really wants the current or future Ranger platform to put out there own midsize variant! They know a great truck when they see one. Most likely Ford will build it for them @ their MAP facility (home of Ranger & '21 Bronco) in Wayne, Michigan.
VW hasn't "invested" in Ford per say. It's a merger of sorts in a few key areas. They have history togethor. VW Is biggest auto Co in the world. Ford one of oldest. Both admire an respect eachother it's been said "around the industry". Expect much more in the future from this collab.
