Re: Ford (Found On Roadside Dead)

I had the misfortune of having a rental Ford Focus many years back when the model had been first introduced as a result of a car wreck; the Focus had an underpowered engine, anemic slushbox of a transmission, and was in almost every way something I would never have driven on a permanent basis. I got better performance (and mileage!) manually running the slushbox in the three-four gears available to me.

While I've largely sworn off of Ford as a brand, I am interested in how well the EV iteration of their F150 works out; Ford seems to be doing something practical in offering a 'work truck' iteration of it that's priced for mere mortals. (The GM offering relies FAR too much on a brand label that used to mean military grade quality, but now is just an overpriced, overfluffed thing.)
