I’m same in your peer group and have the same view. Driver assist in town when it’s perfected in a few years will be a benefit. Went for Waymo drive in Phoenix and it was awesome.

My experiece with parts for Jeep were no better.

I asked Claude to compare the weight difference from the diffferent batteries as well as the electrical architecture based on the current Ford Fathom data and the EV3 specifications. The price increase for exended range and AWD increase are in the range I expect from Ford for the Fathom, based...

Farley originally stated that orders would begin in late 2026. I suspect that it will be a release of the guide late in 2026 and intial orders in 2027. No telling right now when the delivery of vehicles will start.

I saw the same cost per kwh, came to the same conclusion. The post by Alan admitted the 200’s for the entry level range. AWD and batteries are lot easler to add in a trim for this vehicle than doubling up towing capacity. The spokesperson from Ford said this is not a work truck for a farm or...

This is consistent with the manufacturing process philosophy. Just a footnote: Joining the Mustang club qualifies you for X plan pricing, a well investeed $40 to control dealer greed. I spoke with two local dealers who will honor this if it is offered. Tim will honor it as well based on his...

I’m in the same camp with you. We have a Honda CRV touring for travel and I want a compct truck for my personal use in town for recreation like visiting parks, fishing and small haling for landscape and home repairs. This may tow a small boat or camper trailer, but I would have limited...

I found the discussion on battery options promising. They are going to offer both larger battery and better improved CATL chemistry battery possibly in both sizes. This will be beneficial for both range and the option I care most about which is power during a storm outage. Appreciated the...

Makes sense. Thanks. I plan on the ER and AWD trim.

I hope a trailer hitch is built into the truck as standard. I had one installed by the deaaler on my Rene and it was not properly installed ( missing bolts) and still cost $700 12 years ago. Proper integration is best done at the factory and is cost effective.

Recent update from Tim at Long Mcartur was there would be at least two trims offered at introduction. Implied extended battery range and AWD. Video 251 as I recall.

Thanks, Tim. Long Mcarthur looks better all the time. Your vidoes are very helpful.

I assumed that was sarcasm…

Long MAcArthur video 251 yesterday has a few minutes discussing the Fathom after their introduction. Tim confirms sheet of plywood capability mid gate when discussing the capabilities of the Maverick as well as towing capacity and range for driving as well as both standard range and extended...

Would the $3500 California rebate apply to out of state purchases?

Nice analysis. Puts the value in perspective. We get alot of sunny days in Florida, but unless the vehicle is in use, it’s in the garage so I don’t cook when getting in so the value of the solar diminishes. It is a cool idea though. When I worked and parked outside this would have paid for the...

Agree. Talked to local Autonation Ford Sales Manager this PM. MSRP will be the price for orders. The only model getting front loads are the 150 Raptors. No one was at the dealership this PM.

Hope to see a trim with ER and AWD.

https://insideevs.com/news/793596/catl-shenxing-gen3-lfp-battery-charging-speed/ I lack the skill set to open the link to CATL.

The LFP has an upgrade from CATL that is included in the Ford liscensing agreement, from what I’ve researched. The magnesium/ aluminum/zinc catalyst would be a better choice given it is just a formulation change for the battery plant. They would have no process changes and stay with the more...
