If it's a MY2006 or earlier, even though I care about the environment and pollution, I'd still opt for it vs a newer diesel. The new diesels are far too unreliable to recommend even in 2020. If you need a newer vehicle, get a gasser.
I wish they would spend less time on the luxury items and more time on making engines and drivetrains that last longer. To much throw away stuff nowadays

It would be great for people trying to save money on a new truck, or want just a basic work truck they're not afraid to get dirty.
Ford will be fine. Probably has the best future out of the Detroit 3. F-150 is it's cash cow, Mustang is it's star child and the Bronco has the writings of future fan favourite. They definitely need to keep an eye on FCA (soon to be Stellantis) - their RAM and Jeep brands have always been competitive and unlike GM, FCA still has a significant global presence with cherished brands. GM is seriously the problem child out of the three. I don't know if the 2008 bailout and ignition switch scandal has been a slow poison but they've got one heck of an uninspiring playbook. Their handling of global brands (the 11 that they've mismanaged/sold-off/or killed), model revivals (Blazer), halo vehicles (Camaro) and key market presence (the 4 major regions they pulled out from) is for me a true reflection of its reputation and not it's title as the largest US car maker. Anyways, the C8 is a promising offering and the upcoming GMC EV Hummer might propell them in the right direction so I guess time will tell.
Ford needs to cut out the dealership middleman and adopt the Tesla business model and sell direct to consumer. More profit for Ford, less expensive vehicles for us. Before some RU-vid troll comes in to whine about how expensive a tesla is thats how automakers first start out.
I like how there is some humor at the end: "Ford is keeping up with the ever growing electrical vehicle trend" They made 50,000 and "sold out". 5% of Tesla, is not keeping up.
I have a ford f150 and I absolutely love it....i just wished up it had more tech.... i will be planning on getting a cyber truck as a 2nd family car when it comes out.
Was a die hard chevy fan, until my 2016 transmission broke apart internally at 21k miles and they didn't want to honor the warranty. My new ford has had its quirks, but taken care of no problem at no cost besides a dollar each time for the loaner.
My personal vehicle is a 1984 F150 4x4 4 speed, all stock except for slightly heavier lug tires. AC works, original paint job, and the only mod I might make this next year is to swap the gearbox out for a ZR-5 5 speed manual so I can have overdrive. After that, I have no problem keeping this thing, and repairing it as needed, for another 30 - 40 years. Whoever was in the engineering department in the early 80's did a good job. It's easy to repair, and for the price of a new one, I could rebuild this thing 50 times over, so.. I'm good!
Having a truck is awesome. My college has the worst parking ever. Having a truck means I can strap in a bike in the back, then get to campus. Instead of having to worry about the horrible circumstances of commute parking, I can just park farther away more reliably and bike the rest of the distance to class. There are alot of other, heavy uses too of course. You wouldn't understand how much you miss a truck's utility until you lose it.

I have always been a huge fan of Ford pickups and SUVs. I have one that is an assembled vehicle a 1951 body on a 3/4 ton 4×4 hiboy chassis that I built myself, a 1978 F150 2 wheel drive, a 1981 F250 4x4 with a 300ci 4.9L inline six and a 4 speed totally bulletproof, and what I call my miracle vehicle. a 1985 Bronco II that I have driven for over twenty years without having to do a single sizable repair to just maintenance. I know it's going to need some work done on it soon but it just keeps going. I have owned a lot of vehicles in my life from a lot of different manufactures but nothing has been like that one. I would really like to have a F150 lightning when they become available. but know I will never be able to afford one. so I guess I will have to be satisfied with the ones I have. not such a problem for they are very good trucks. and I will continue my love of Ford trucks for their incredible reliability and durability no doubt.

Not true. Automakers, like any smart business, follow the demand of the market. People do not want cheap trucks and they do not buy cheap trucks. My local GMC dealer STILL has a 2019 regular cab base model truck with the base v6 engine sitting on its lot. This truck is the cheapest GMC Sierra you can buy and its done nothing but sit on the lot since LAST WINTER. Trucks are getting more techy and more expensive, yes, but it hasn't hurt sales, in fact, its done just the opposite as more Americans are buying trucks now than ever before. Why? Because that's what the buyer wants. Want proof? The F-150 starts at about $29,000 (which gets you a very basic, bare bones truck... we're talking regular cab, short bed, 4x2, with hand crank windows, manual locks, no cruise control, and a standard 3.3L v6 that is less powerful than the engine in the Nissan Frontier midsize pickup) but the average sale price of the F-150 is $48,000, almost $20,000 more than the base price! Beyond that, a simpler truck with a lower price means lower profits, so even if such a truck did sell better, which all available evidence suggests it would not, it would HAVE to sell better because the auto manufacturer would have to make up for the lower profit per unit sold. Believe me, if the market showed any sizeable and sustainable demand for cheaper, simpler half-ton trucks, then the auto manufacturers would be tripping over themselves to bring such a truck to the market, but that's not the case. You have to understand, cheap and simple trucks sell so poorly among private buyers that Toyota, Nissan, and Ram no longer offer a current generation regular cab work truck and GMC will likely drop there's for the Sierra's 2022 refresh, that will leave only Chevy and Ford still offering a regular cab truck, and of those two Ford is the only one that still offers the regular cab with either a 6.5' bed or an 8' bed, Chevy only offers an 8' bed. The only reason Chevy and Ford still make basic work trucks is because fleets still buy enough of them to justify their existence.
@@dave3682 The market demand is whatever the producers put out on the market. The consumers see it and ask for more. If I can get a reliable car absent of everything except HVAC & power mirrors for cheap price, I'll go for it 100 times more.
@@MarloSoBalJr What? No. Demand cannot be created, it can only be filled. Demand, even if it hasn't been revealed yet, always proceeds a successful product, otherwise the product will fail. This is why you have market researchers who are payed huge stacks of cash to go out and do research to find the demand so that the manufacturer can produce a product to fill it. So no, demand is not created by what producers put on the market because if it's a bad product that there was no preexisting demand for in the first place, it will not sell well. The people want fancy tech and toys so that's what the manufacturer gives them, not the other way around. And the proof for that is, once again, that the cheap and simple trucks that are available do not sell well among private buyers.
@@dave3682 nobody buys the thing because it has a V6 when people say they want a base model truck they still want a truck and the v6 is anything but a truck. Of course Ford is mostly V6 but they have twin turbos the GM V6 does not nobody has much use for that engine in a truck.
I hope Ford and GM can avoid bankruptcy. Their failure to innovate towards sustainable transport solutions in the face of ever increasing environmental restrictions will be their downfall.
I bought a 1976 Ford F100 in 1976 ,I actually ordered it in, the price was $5800 it had the 390 FE v8 and auto transmission.Taking inflation into account that price would be $26,531.18 in 2020.It was really a great truck,no issues like the turbo turd models in 2020. The problem with Ford and others they have so much tech junk on the new ones the price is beyond a working guys budget, the only way they can get them off the lot is to offer 8 year financing, my bank financing back in 1976 was 3 yrs.Over the years I had 4 Fords pick ups, and they were super good trucks,today too many issues with the ones being built now for me.
I’ll stick with my 1996 Ford F-150 XLT regular cab, short bed, 4X4, with a 5 speed manual transmission, manual locking hubs and the legendary, bulletproof 4.9 liter inline six cylinder. It has just 83,000 miles on it. I paid $4,000 for it 7 years ago. This truck will out live me.
They really messed up when they stopped making sedans, the Ford Fusion and Focus were selling very well, now sedan buyers will be running to Toyota, Honda, Nissan and Hyundai. Ford always gives up on their cars and let's the quality of them dissolve instead of improving their models and standing by them....they have no loyalty to their own products the way Toyota has stood buy the Camry and Honda stood with the Accord, even when sales weren't the best Japan kept the product selling and improved....Ford destroyed the Taurus in 1996 and made it a joke they never recovered from that....once the best selling vehicle in America now it's gone.
@@residentevil9894 i heard about the transmission problems with the focus and Fiesta and water pump issues with the v6s, but were the Fusions junk? I was just wondering sir. I actually thought they were decent vehicles.
Ford is stopping production of cars because they are almost bankrupt. The future is electric and Ford knows they are behind and maybe missed it. They are trying to squeak out whatever cash they can from SUV's and trucks, but ultimately all efforts will be futile if they cannot produce an electric vehicle that competes with Tesla. This is likely their catch 22. They know they need to go electric but they do not have the know-how of how to do it well enough. Remember Ford, GM both were bankrupt in 2008 and were bailed out then, which was the first year Tesla was in existence. If we take history as an example, when major industries are disrupted, it is typically from outside the industry. For example, Nokia did not create the iPhone. Apple made the iPhone and at the time was not a phone maker at all. Now Nokia is not around and Apple is one of the biggest manufacturers of phones. Same thing with Blockbuster and Netflix. Same thing when Ford entered the market of horse transportation. GM's CEO is open about the future being electric and they actually have some stuff on the way. Unfortunately a free market economy doesn't care about brand or the past. The Market cares about better technology and cost. EV's are the future whether anyone wants it or not. Tesla is here. Other car makers will either compete or they will be gone.
@@spencerpeterson8477 What your saying definitely makes sense and I do agree with most of it, but my issue with for is that instead of improving the quality of the product and bringing in top notch engineers they often scrap the car or rename it with the same low quality engineering.

I have a 2014 f150 and plan on having it at least another 10 years. New truck prices are ridiculous! But Ford is best selling for a reason, they are just better.
I'll agree that the sticker price is ridiculous but both my 2016 and 2020 F150 were deeply discounted which brought the price down to a somewhat reasonable level. Nothing is cheap anymore, remember when pickups cost less than cars?
This is a missed opportunity. The domestic automakers make their money on pickups and full size SUVs. The should’ve invested in ev technology a long time ago. They didn’t need to redesign their trucks, just design an electric drive train to fit underneath them. They would’ve sold enough to make it worth while to keep investing in ev technology. That way, in case electric truck sales start to grow you are ahead of the curve. Now it seems the future is heading toward ev’s and they are behind the curve, especially in battery technology. If GM would’ve stuck with their ev program there might not be a Tesla today. But GM’s lack of foresight on ev’s will haunt them forever. They had everything needed to lead the way but technology is the future and GM was mired in the past. When it comes to our domestic automakers, electric vehicles were a wasted opportunity.
You are talking crap. People who drive truck do no want a electric lawn mower. They want America V8 power in all its loud glory. You can go and buy a tesla but stop with the EV crap and trying to make other trucks into your fantasy we do not want them.
ICYMI Ford has been at the top of the EV game for the past 10 years. The Fusion starting in 2010, the Focus EV, Escape hybrid, Cmax, etc. Hybrid tech that was on par with Toyota then surpassed Toyota. They sold plenty, but not enough to keep them viable. If no market for a product, no reason to make them. They are coming out with an EV truck, already have a Hybrid F150 coming out next year. The problem with any all electric is battery tech, charge rates, and demand. Only now is there some demand for it, but the infrastructure is no where near capable of handling a pickup truck market, batteries to allow any kind of range for a large vehicle are heavy, reducing capable payload as well as towing capacity since you need payload to be able to tow, and no one wants to wait 30-40 minutes to charge the batteries every 200 miles if you can even get that much while towing. On paper EV pickup is OOH Have to HAVE IT, but reality is, man, this sucks having to charge every 200 miles or less and I can't do as much with it as I can the gas models.
@@acdii There is a bigger problem for EV and renewables in general that people do not want to recognise and pretend it does not exist. There simply is not enough copper on earth to have every car in America as electric. There is not enough copper either for wind energy as each turbine takes 6 to 10 tons of copper. Now it is possible that a new alloy comes along that will do the job but I do not hold my breath as it will take too long.

Problem with pickups (I've had many of them and still have one, a Tacoma) stuff in the bed gets wet or stolen. I cured that problem by using a full size cargo van with minimal windows. And yes, I've had SUVs too. They have their own limitations.
I can understand why Americans ( and Canadians) buy these trucks. Big, powerful, luxurious, and practical. But nobody outside North America wants full sized trucks or even full sized SUV's. It's somewhat shortsighted for American brands to just give up on cars, imo.
@John Holst The truth is that Europeans cannot really afford American trucks because of the taxes on imports to Europe. Maybe the US needs to apply tariffs on European vehicles just like those on American vehicles. If Ford were to try and sell a truck in Europe it would be nearly 3 times as expensive as it is in the US.
@@bighands69 Yes, you're right. Taxes are certainly one factor. But also, the size of the roads make it a real headache to drive something so large. And then there's the price of gas! It's not cheap like in the States. There's also the consideration that some countries (Korea for example) add taxes based on the size of the engine and these must be paid each year. US brands are simply not set up to succeed in such environments.

Fully recline seat....great idea!!. No more vanlife but trucklife in the wild is better...maybe ford message is... to afford this truck you have to move into the truck...forget the house.
The current F150 is a competent truck, but the interiors are almost agrarian compared to the RAM models. Ford is also very stingy when it comes to equipment as well. The XLT and Bighorn/Lonestar are priced similarly, but the latter has more standard features.
Am I the only one who misses the days of the original Ranger? Even the high end XLT Lariat model is simple, affordable, and manageable for the average person to work on. I understand their POV, making vehicles harder to work on so they can claim more money from the dealership but it’s getting out of hand. We are in a debt filled society where very few people are buying vehicles.. people are just borrowing money from the banks to gain permission to drive them.

It can stop one bullet, but can it stop multiple? Who would should the door, which they will know is bulletproof, instead of the tires, windows, or even the A or B pillars which could collapse the roof on you? No point in having it bulletproof, if everyone knows not to shoot there. Besides, they probable tested it with a subsonic hollow point 9mm.
If Ford really want their F-150's to succeed, maybe they should address/fix the oil consumption issue plaguing 2018-2020 (and likely 2021) 5.0L models with a better fix than a longer dip-stick...
This issue keeps coming up. Ford, Toyota, Subaru and others have this problem on some engines due to loosening the fit of the pistons for greater gas mileage. It’s BS and they need to stop doing this. A good engine should not costume oil, at least not for the first 100k miles!

They are way overpriced!! People are only making a little more than in the 90’s while inflation is over 70%. Trucks are for working people and somebody making 50k a year can’t comfortably buy a 35k truck!
The Ranger is step in right direction but people need a subcompact, maybe hybrid pickup too with 1000 mi range. It’s really simple to enlarge the gas tank to get to 1000, then advertise it, like a gimmick but that gives an edge over other rivals.
