Ford should exclusively focus selling cars to people with Credit history scores < 50. Most likely they will
miss a car payment and car will be repo. If Ford got into the repo gig they could turn around and run these cars they repo through Dealer or Public auctions. If Ford goes the public auction route, they should only sell the repos AS-WHERE IS, no implied warranty what-so-ever.
You have to admit this is a great idea. Not even Dave Calohoun, the train wreck CEO fired by Boeing who's wanting to be named Ford next CEO could have thought of this.
F-150 Guy is Nervous
I saw the F-150 Guy very nervous this morning.
So the F-150 Guy said that after the performance reviews are done, the gigantic LYOFz will occur.
Good luck.
I guess Ford is going to recall F1 for the engine problem 😆

Remote Features Disabled
2024 Expedition: Did Ford make an update lately to the battery mgt system that is causing all of these alerts? "Remote Features Disabled to preserve battery"
They're very annoying. Two year old battery and Ford says it is fine. Just drove 200 miles so battery should be fully charged. Two days later I get these messages again.

Top 10 Most Dependable Vehicle - JD Power 2025
Lexus is the #1 as expected. Buick is #2, and you know why? Buick vehicles are designed and built in China, then shipped to the US. This proved that Chinese vehicles are far more better than the American US made vehicles.
Ford needs to embrace and target the Trailer Trash Market, including broke crack head Ford production workers because that's today's buyer.
Broke, lousy credit history, multiple evictions, divorced and being crack or me-h heads is no way to go but that's the current market out there. Pretty bleak, but Ford's got to sale cars.
Ford ought to approach GM to discuss buying the 1964 Chevrolet Corvair Monza Corvair design. Ford could ramp up production to build the 1964 Corvairs fast just as GM did in 1963-64 and slap the blue oval on all of them. Ford can market the Corvairs exclusively to the trailer trash market. Later Ford can form a Repo company to sn---h the cars back after failed payments by owners and Ford can resale them again.
In China, EVs are now cheaper than gas cars. In the U.S., the Big Three still haven’t closed a premium that’s $14,000 per vehicle

Ford will discontinue production the Escape just like the other models - Can't Compete !
Ford will stop production of the Escape, just like the other discontinue models. Ford can't compete with Toyota, Kia, Hyundai, Mazda, or Nissan any more. The sales number of the Escape continue to drop and Ford is loosing money making the Escape.
Same as these models: Edge, Fusion, Taurus, Fiesta, Focus, Explorer Hybrid, Transit Connect.
For Mach E, and Lightning are next on the list.
Soon Ford will not be able compete in the pickup truck industry. This is when Ford will declare bankruptcy.
