I think Ford working with Google on an entertainment platform is considerably different than building a car for Apple - so I will continue to guess thanks. But you can feel free to know everything, that’s cool

Fake news.

And who the hell wants “more” effing tech in their vehicles? I sure as hell don’t. Usually breaks, not needed or out of date in 18 months.

Screw technology making vehicles big, fat pigs. In fact, some manufacturers (Porsche, others) have stripped versions of their vehicles with power delete this or equipment racing packages, etc.

It would be OUTSTANDING to see a 21 Raptor with:
SCAB config
V8
No nanny engine controls
Sunroof delete
Baja 1000 Racing Pack, fully warranted with world-class travel
More aggressive trim and heat extractors
Integrated front Baja S8 IN the grill under the FORD lettering
Special beadlock wheels
Built in air compressor
Weight delete package
Tuxedo Black cuz everyone knows it’s the fastest paint

You get the drift. Ford makes 1000 of these, be gone by noon.

Ok ok.. I’ll see myself out. Back to my drink.

Ford is a prime candidate for a buyout. They are carrying way too much debt. They really screwed themselves in the late 80's and early 90's when they were on a buying spree. Jaguar, Range Rover, Aston Martin, Volvo, etc.

And there's no one in the family who can run the company.

GMs been doing that since ‘91 with their 1LE Fbodys. It’s for weight savings and not for anything other than that.

Technology and driving controls are used in premier racing organizations for a reason (MotoGP, F1 etc).

I would buy this truck and paint it lead foot grey to make it faster...

You’re missing the point.

Auto Racing requires weight saving, driver focused technology to win races, attract fans and make a profit for the entire race team.

Public transport is all about marketing and looking good at the mall.

Otherwise we’d all be driving the same white Yugos around town
