I tell ya Ford vans are the best. I have a deep romantic relationship(that my wife knows about) with 75-91 econolines. When the Transits came out me and my brother spent about 30 mins at the Detroit Auto Show sitting in the one they had that was an empty chassis. I had to plan my ultimate custom van interior. If there wasnt a bronco coming and i didnt have a burning passion for the classics body style I would definitely have bought a Transit by now. I used to go to alot of Van-in's, I even got a trophy for best 4x4 at one. Econolines were always popular favorites. Alot in part that you could get to the engines under hood in em, unlike the chevys and dodges.

But yeah the transit options are insane, plus 4x4. If I had one it'd be with a tuned up 3.5 EB for sure. Total custom interior, carpet, vinyl, everything. Plus they are tall enough for a disco ball!

I can't take a cougar any more. went and got married. then again, I'm gettin close to 40, so they're no longer cougars....used to have me a 55 though, aged like good wine, back about 10-12 years ago.

From page 7:

• All new Bronco will be added
• Additional Sub-Assemblies to be added * Bronco - Hoods & Swinggates * Ranger - Hoods, Tailgates & Fenders •
Stampings for all new Mustang will be added
• Bronco/Ranger Mod Center

And from page 9:

Dearborn Stamping/Dearborn Diversified Manufacturing Plant $100 million investment

• Stampings/hydroforming for all new Super Duty
• Stampings for Expedition/Navigator will continue, with upgrades
• Stampings for all new Broncos to be added

Not sure if it's relevant to the Bronco, but according to page 8, Dearborn engine is adding a new engine, but doesn't specify what, just says "New Engine will be added" and Sharonville transmission is adding a new "10R100" transmission while also continuing the 10R80 and 10R140 transmissions.

Hmmm that’s odd. Dearborn only has the 2.0 Ecoboost. Wonder what it could be. could be a Hybrid 2.0/2.3 Ecoboost for the

wonder if the 10r100 is for the bronco/ Mach 1? ( would be rated at 737lbft!)


also the Ohio plant “new product for 2023” which I think is the Excursion return!

I noticed this on page 8.
5.0L Con Rod & Block spillover volume will cease as product demand declines

Fewer customers are looking for a V8.
