Yay f150!!! Goooo team!!!
FSeries? You mean ICE powered that Bill hates? LOL
Aren't there plans to be all EV by 2030? Then what? Less than 10% of vehicle buyers want an EV.
You all better hope orange man is elected......
Ford wisdom at work again. Take the life line of the company that is keeping it afloat and then hand it over to bunch of new inexperienced engineers and management out of the country who have zero history, zero lessons Learned zero experience in what the product is. Then, get rid of all the North American experience that have kept it the truck of the year for how long now. Well good luck maintaining that status with engineering team that is starting from ground zero and with no history of the product. Talking about penny wise and dolor foolish. The clueless id--ts that are making these decisions are getting handsomely compensated and reworded to destroy the company. They will be long gone with their bank account loaded when this hits the fan.
As all engineering and testing moves out of country?
Ford is only interested in cheap labor. The question is who will purchase Ford product as it will be engineered, tested and soon will have increased manufacturing outside the US?
The main issue is that now we are a one trick pony, a pony that is starting to get older, outdated and outsold. Yes, the F series, which comprises several models, outsold each individual model from GM, but not all of them together in Q1/Q3 of this year. So whatever advantage we had in trucks, is going away.
Now we don't have another money making vehicle, we threw billions in the BEV money pit, we lost ICE talent thanks to the idiocy of the top management, we are facing a huge debt with higher interest rates and an economic slowdown in 2024. Anybody with a brain in this company should be concerned for the future.
I hate to work for a company where everyone is worrying about getting laid off.
Moral in this company is in the sh-t hole.
GM is selling more pickups, they just don’t give them all the same name.
Apart from F150 they lost market share in most other segments and in the global areas outside USA.
