Most pickup trucks are probably parked in driveways w/ no electric. Of course charging an electric one in your garage could set your house on fire. So there’s that.

How about Ford goes back to what they do best - make reliable gas cars like Taurus and Escort that also make for great fleet cars. How about bringing back the Explorer Sport instead of another electric product no one wants?

Ford cars have always always sucked bigly(sans Mustang). And I say that having owned 8 of them at this point.

You want reliable Ford, needs to be be a truck frame with a truck motor and a truck body. None of this unibody bs.

My 01 e350 has 340k on it, still kicking strong. 7.3 ps.

Explorer is a dead model until they decide to make it a legitimate SUV again instead of a supersized taurus. Had a 94 for my first car and a 01 for a few months.

Depending on where you live, it might not just be your house.

Old farts don't want sedans.

I donโ€™t like electric vehicles, but I hope this project works.
The US should dominate vehicle manufacturing .

Next Ford needs to bring the Edge back .
Right they have no SUVs to choose from
