@k9 Farley cannot be used for ICE/HEV technology, will be canned shortly.
Just as Farley said ICE engineers could not be used for EV technology, what is going to happen to the EV engineers that have no clue about ICE engines which are more complicated? As usual Ford is behind again playing catch up. So sad...
@gv They dusted off the original design from 1983, added some cup holders, airbags, a few USB ports, and a g-n rack, set to be the most successful program in decades.
The old Ranger is back? Push rod v6 and manual transmission? I’ll take one
Unless the product announcement comes directly from DF, do not put any credibility in it. That includes JF.
@c2 How long before the $30,000 CE1 EV is cancelled?
@c2 ford makes only garbage cars. Only fools will buy the 30k car. With 80k truck total recalls and quality issues creeps me out. 2 times my car got fixed.
Not sure what kind of qa and how reliable this 30k car will be. God only save Americans. Trump a-s hole supporters may buy this non sense.
Correction, Jan. 14, 2026, 1:45 p.m. EST: A previous version of this story said that Ford's incoming affordable gas-powered truck would replace the previously promised sub-$30,000 electric truck. The story has been updated to reflect that the affordable gas-powered truck will replace a previously promised full-size electric pickup truck, not the sub-$30,000 electric truck that Ford still plans to produce by 2027.
@an Never in a million years and I don't think anyone understood it to be that way.
Yeah. There's a possibility it may be. But I doubt it because if it doesn't work out I don't see how DF survives it. It'll be either him or Jim...and Jim ain't going before him over something like that. Failures run downhill not up. but after FNV4 I don;t think Ford can endure another dead end without someone up top paying a price.
@ab Unless you have information others don't, you're conflating topics.
P800 was never going to sub $30k. Story is messed up.
@af who the f knows, 5B invested in Louisville, LA office is growing, are they going to do both?
This double-speak is hilarious. Is the 30k EV happening or not?
why do you need anything, simplify Maverick and you have it, sub 30K truck
@ac Farley explained that the newly planned ICE truck will "replace"
@ab CE1 in Louisville, this one in Tennessee
@a8 yes, but CE1 is DEAD
Official it seems but not until 2029. That is three years from now.
