I'd bet the software development for vehicle design and manufacturing is under a different department than the public-facing web page. Tech is tech IMO.In this case I used "tech" company as shorthand for companies focused on software development. Ford certainly creates software but that's not their main focus as a company and it shows. While I'm sure Ford has done it's best during this roll-out it's not as if all the planning of this vehicle and it's roll-out started during the pandemic. While the equipment for designing the MIC top may have been produced in Wuhan and Italy, the design( and it's associated issues ) was Fords'.
As far as the position of "Ford completely sucks", I don't think they completely suck but I've never thought their quality was that great. I worked a summer, many years ago, at a Lincoln/Mercury dealer ( only a summer because I'm not cut out to be a car salesman..or in sales in general ). I saw the lack of quality first hand. Even though that was 20 years ago, I still remember showing a customer a new Mercury Mountaineer with the trim falling off around the moon roof. What changed for me was reading good reviews about the Ranger on which the Bronco is at least partially based.
I've driven a Jeep and I don't really like it. I was actually waiting for the new 4Runner when I heard that the Bronco is coming out, though to be honest if a new 4Runner came out, I probably wouldn't be here. I drove the Bronco at the off-roadeo and really like it. I like the design and it's capability but I'm not excited at the possibility of driving a car that has lots of issues.
