Truthfully it looks better than all the cars you state above both in aesthetics and features (taking brand snobbery out of decision process). Be curious if Lincoln offers anything similar to Mercs magic body control suspension or whatever they call it. (The one that makes pot holes feel like nothing). American…

While I do not want to sound unappreciative, that article was WAY too long.. Felt very redundant halfway on.

Fords and Lincolns hace had the ability to lock/unlock, locate, and start the car remotely for years with a snartphone. I think this now gives the ability to use your phone as the key itself and drive away

Those don’t have three rows therefore not competition. This is three row family luxury, this should crush in its class

The 3.5L ecoboost has been in use on the F-150 since 2013.. I’d say 5 years is a good gauge. I believe it should be on the list. Ford Trucks are pretty truly built tough

Well a lot of trucks and large SUVs (Expedition etc) they are mounted outside just underneath the vehicle, does that count?

I love useless knowledge like that, thank you for the enlightenment

What kind of mileage do you get with the 1.0L? I have been thinking of the Focus with that engine lately. You can get it in manual too.

“We built 45,000 miles of interstate highway in this country between 1956 and 1970, but because of the increased regulatory environmental the federal level, you can’t build a mile of it in that time today.” -Rusty Paul, Mayor Sandy Springs GA. He said this at a recent infrastructure meeting at the White House. I don’t…

Not really.. the rising tide of the industry should theoretically eb even across the board. In fact, it is an opportunity for the independent drivers to drive a more efficient truck and therefore have a cost advantage over the competition. For the record, I disagree with a gas tax but think a tax on diesel is a great…

How flat will the cargo area be with all seats folded down?

Read the Smithsonian article. It talks about how a lot of the bombs had timed fuses but when the bombs hit the ground it flipped over to where the fuse didn’t start due to the orientation of the bomb. Part of the reason for such high quantity of unexploded ordnance. (Speaking particularly of the American bombs in…

Yeah I liked the commercial and heard a lesser known speech from the great MLK that I otherwise would have not heard. This seems more like something people are trying to get upset about than should be. They were honoring King and people are angry it happenned it the most televised event in the nation because they were…

Think back to the 50s and 60s when there were only 3 car manufacturers. By making another brand you now have a chance to capture more sales and differentiate from the lower cost brands. Basically you could get more market share by flooding the market with your own brands. It only doesn’t make sense from the modern…

I dunno, my brother has one. In his defense he got a great deal for it. It has reverse camera, blind spot monitoring, reverse sensors, heated seats, Bluetooth, very comfortable leather seats and great gas mileage. Plus he can sing the Alan Jackson song Crazy bout a Mercury! It was/is a great deal for $5k. It has over…

The aluminum body also helps with the center of gravity and makes the truck drive and feel more ‘sporty’ than the previous generation or competitors.

Maybe the mast is geared for really catching the AM/FM channels out in the sticks while the shark fin is XM?

Funny you say that. I have wondered myself since my 2003 Expedition has the antenna ‘mounted’ within the rear window.

almost ten years right? (if purchased in 2008)

What year Connie is that? 70s? Makes me want one badly...
