Is this another assembly worker fuck up?

Most if not all of the added capacity will be for Ranger production which are non-existent on dealer lots. Forecasts are for rate cuts starting this Summer which could begin to help sales of all vehicles.

It might be a good idea to have some vacuum reserve and or an auxiliary electric vacuum pump. JEGS Vacuum Reserve Canister - JEGS

The workers that have pride in what they do and care about quality need to get the slugs to step up their game. That's the problem with unions. It allows slackers to keep their jobs. This is evident regardless of the business or industry.

Without reading the previous 13 pages of comments, the 25% wage increase by the end of the contract is not unreasonable. The immediate bump in pay merely raises their pay enough to compensate for where inflation has been over the past two years. The remaining year increases are in line with...

You can add Subaru to the list of overrated vehicles. Besides engine issues, their suspensions are garbage and need parts replaced well before most other vehicles. Rotors are garbage too. Purchased a Forester for the wifey awhile back. Never again.

The Detroit 3 over the past 10 years have a combined profit margin of just 6.6%. They've offered some very nice contracts. UAW leadership needs to come to their senses and realize that they're putting the future of these companies in jeopardy with such low margins. They must realize that...

Well apparently you don't need to prove ownership to file a complaint with the NHSTA. So hedge funds and short sellers of the stock can actually bombard them with fictious complaints to trigger publicized investigations.

Somewhere I read about another 6% offered up front. BTW, that's a good link and shows that Ford has made a really fair offer when compared to the previous 2019 contract. If that opportunity was offered in my state of NJ, folks would be clamoring for those jobs.

UAW asked for 40%, Ford offered 15%. They'll meet in the middle. If I'm not mistaken, Ford also offered to eliminate tiers, paying newbies the same as veterans. So newbies can step in and do the work as well as veteran workers? That doesn't say much for the skills required. Unfortunately...

Big difference. Since when did the government need to make a profit? Your cushy retirement is thanks to tax payers. Don't get me wrong, I have a lot of respect for law enforcement, and especially now, but retiring at 55 and drawing a pension and family medical coverage for life is a bit much...

Cost of living is much lower in the southern states. Wages should be based on region.

As a result, that longer term worker might put in less effort and care less about quality.

UAW President likes to cite the billions made by the big three, but make no mention of the debt they carry. In Ford's case, their net profit margins are in the single digits. Workers should get a pay raise and profit based bonuses and that's about it. Paying a new employee the same as a longer...

As someone mentioned, it looks like a cheaper and ugly sibling of the Defender.

Probably not a bad idea to get the tubes welded before you go offroading with bigger tires. Welding Axle Tubes, Detailed Instructions - YouTube

Back when I purchased my 09 Gt500, there was much talk about the axle tubes being pressed in the differential without any welding. Having the tubes welded was the best solution, but there were a few companies that had bolt on braces. S/T 8.8 Axle Brace Part # CHE9L for 2005-2014 Mustang – CHE...

That is BADASS!!!!!

There is a huge lesson to be learned by Ford regarding new vehicle launches. "START OUT WITH LESS OPTIONS AND CONFIRGURATIONS"!!!!!!!!!!! The Maverick is another example of too many options and configurations out of the gate. This is hurting the brand and hurting the stock price. K.I.S.S.!!!!!!!!!!
