The 3.5L V6 Ford is the uplevel engine in the F-150. It's not particularly reliable, but it's more powerful than the 5.0L V8.

Automatic spoilers normally go above the rear end of a vehicle.

Ford is leading in innovation as usual. Good on them!

That's what the post office was named in 1863, it's named after someone who operated a lumber mill there. LINK

Weight is your enemy, therefore it's normal for parts to fall off. It's actually ideal.

Ford should make planes.

No bullshite. Look it up.


Robert Inkster, a Scotsman born March 27, 1828, in Lerwick, Shetland,operated a steam sawmill on present-day Inkster Road near Michigan Avenue in the early 1860s.

The post office was renamed "Inkster" in July 1863. The village had a station on the Michigan Central Railroad by 1878.

No he literally paid for 500,000 copies of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion to be published in America.

ETA: I may Be misunderstanding my sources. I’ve seen that he had copies printed but he also had parts of it reprinted in the Dearborn.

I own a fusion and can say my front passenger door flying open in a curve was pretty wild. Dealership said they fixed it. Hasn't opened up on it's own so far

Ford’s are junk, why anybody would buy them is mind blowing.

I know that Henry Ford's Nazi op-eds in the Dearborn paper were printed out and expected to be distributed by Ford dealers to their customers. A lot of Ford dealers burned them, knowing that they'd alienate their customers.

Some of Ford's articles would find themselves published in material distributed to Hitler Youth.

I've seen the sliding door fall off of a Ford Aerostar. But that was a long time ago.

Fixed
Or
Repaired
Daily

I can't really talk though. In high school I had a Chevy where the recall was that the door would fall off unexpectedly. Not just open, but completely separate itself from the car. It happened to me in a parking lot in Elmwood. The hood latch would also just give out, allowing the hood to fly up and block the windshield whilst driving on the interstate.

These vehicles have been recalled before for faulty door latches but, according to Ford, some dealers that claimed to have fixed this problem during the previous recalls either didn't do the work correctly or didn't do it at all. Ford did not name any specific dealerships.
