I know a Ford dealer here in KC. He said they have been told the f150 will have a larger enfotainment area similar to the new explorer

Rushing any product as complex as an auto to market sounds like a recipe for disaster.
Re: the Bronco. I’m not sure how it can be rushed since they started talking about unveiling it in like 2016.

Trying to compete with both the Wrangler and Land Rover with one vehicle is suicide.
I think the new Defender is the secondary target (Jeep Wrangler is the primary). The Bronco isn't aimed at the fancy Land Rovers.

There’s no such thing as a rugged luxury vehicle. Rugged luxury is an oxymoron.
Yes an no. In the automotive world, luxury is being defined more and more by technology these days.
The most successful sub-brand in the automotive world is Denali, which was started as a fancy version of a full sized body-on-frame GMC SUV that can tow things. Toyota actually sells more of the Lexus version of the Land Cruiser than the actual Land Cruiser these days. Despite all the leather and electronic gadgets - the Yukon Denali and Lexus LX both feel like big trucks.
You also have Rolls Royce, Bentley, and Porsche offering SUVs that outsell some of their car models. This still baffles me.

Yeah I looked at a 2019 F150 the other day and laughed at how small the infotainment screen was
Who are they kidding with this? It looks awful
Pretty sure the poor person model of any vehicle is going to have shitty features like that.

Truck doesn't look much different if that's supposed to be the next one.

Ugly AF electric Mustang. Would not drive.
Why not, go ahead and call it the Mustang II cause that's what it is an update version of the crappy Mustang II.

Putting the mustang name on a crossover is a bad move imo. I love the idea of an electric mustang just not one that looks like this.

I’ll be honest, that paint job is a swing and a miss for me.

Is it THAT much more expensive to copy some of these Europeans in interiors? Or hell, the Koreans for that matter.
Cheap, chunky, black plastic everywhere. Maybe they've focus grouped and decided that people who want nice interiors won't buy Ford anyway?

Has ford made any real changes to their in dash screens in the past couple of years? They have tiny screens.
The new trucks will have a large screen like the Dodge. I saw leaked pics on the net.

I could save them time and money by telling them to scrap these
Nobody wants an electric Ford Mustang. Nobody wants a crossover Bronco. You’re welcome, Ford. My bill of 350k for expert consulting services is in the mail.

2. The sporty Mustang Mach-E is Ford’s first attempt to build a profitable, unique electric vehicle, and the company’s first attempt to stretch the Mustang nameplate to a new kind of vehicle.

4. The Bronco Sport – that name’s not official yet, Ford execs call it “the rugged small SUV” – is an attempt to expand the popularity of the Bronco name to a smaller SUV that could become a significant moneymaker.

I think for a solid portion of the US the Mustang has passed into undesirable territory.
I respect the history and wish it weren't so, but an electric version of a vehicle that for many is synonymous with "redneck dream car" is a little questionable IMO.

new interior
Ford always has horrible interior IMO.

They had the best interior on the market when they changed the body style in 2011.
I think it’s still pretty much the exact same

Luckily for Ford, it's the top selling sport coupe on the planet for like five years running.
ETA: Forgot this part: That Mach E is fricking god awful and it is a massive mistake to link that piece of shite to the Mustang.
