Selling to younger (than me) customers, it's about lifestyle. Selling to me, it's more about what I'm accustomed to, recalling the days of exploring with an MB, CJ-2A, CJ-3A, M-38, CJ-3B or FJ-40 but with modern day comfort.

That is a question, and I'm going to say yes. Crossover market share will be victim.

Clearly, Ford is "all in" with the Bronco, which means Bill Ford said go for it.

Ford may expand off-road line beyond Bronco, Bronco Sport Michael Martinez, Automotive News / July 6, 2020 DETROIT — Ford Motor Co. is not just introducing the Bronco and Bronco Sport next week; it's launching a vehicle line that could grow to include more off-road nameplates. Ford on Monday confirmed Bronco would be a sub-brand, using the "Built Wild" tag line. Executives as far back as early 2019 had been telling dealers its off-road offerings would be a "family" of vehicles. That brand will include two-door and four-door versions of the Bronco SUV, as well as the smaller Bronco Sport crossover, a name Ford confirmed Monday after previously referring to it as a small, rugged off-road utility. There's room to expand the Bronco line beyond those models, officials say. "We'll start with the three models that we have," Mark Grueber, Ford's U.S. consumer marketing manager, said on a call with media. "We will continue to look to where there's customers we could satisfy with Bronco and how to continue to expand the brand in the future." Ford is planning to introduce a Bronco-based pickup in 2024, according to a forecasting firm, and the automaker is also planning a compact, unibody pickup next year, which reports have said could be called Maverick. Dave Pericak, Ford's director of icon vehicles, said each model added to the brand must live up to the Bronco name. "You can make the mistake with a family of vehicles if you just start peppering that family with things that don't live up to the core tenets with what it is you're building," he said. "Everything we do ... it will have to live up to that same DNA and that same goal that the Bronco has, otherwise it doesn't belong in the family. We're not just badge-engineering. It's not the name that makes the vehicle, it's the vehicle that makes the name." Ford on Monday also formally announced the creation of Bronco Nation, a Ford-certified online community that went live earlier this year and will help connect enthusiasts for trail rides and other meetups. Robert Parker, a retired Lincoln marketing executive and Bronco enthusiast, told Automotive News last month that he advised on the site's creation. As part of its bid to connect fans, Ford said it would create experiences called "Bronco Off-Roadeos," which it described as outdoor adventure playgrounds to help them learn how to take their vehicles off-road. . .

Correct, the mask doesn't stop the virus. Rather, it stops the aerosolized saliva and sneezes that carry it.

Bingo, exactly. And if everyone wore the cheaper and available surgical masks (N95 mask being in short supply) when out in public, we would see a massive drop in transmission. Guys, I lived through a serious epidemic and speak from experience. I humbly speak out of a desire for the BMT family and their families to stay healthy while we await a vaccine.

Though I've been around many years, I still learn something new with each new day. Each new day is a new class-in-session. As for opinions, when you step out of the box and look in, everyone's thoughts here are not that far apart. And there's some extremely sharp people here with vast amounts of knowledge........true "fountains of knowledge". (Not to mention Emmy-nominated YouTube star Paul from Australia) BMT members are high caliber people, and it's a privilege to know everyone here.

I respect Ford for not taking a bailout. GM did pay back their loan, but that FCA did matters little to me since the U.S. government gave Chrysler to Fiat (the Agnelli family) for basically nothing.

Why should US tax dollars bail out a loser like YRC, when good LTL carriers like Southeastern, ABF and Central freight could replace them?

Daimler's RSC on Freightliner and Western Star-branded trucks is supplied by formerly Belgium-based WABCO which was acquired by Germany's ZF this year. The Z in ZF stands for Zeppelin. The company was founded by airship builder Count Ferdiinand von Zeppelin.

Scania Group Press Release / July 2, 2020 After buying three new Scania trucks, Diego Ibarra of Transporte Ibarra is impressed by the quality of both the trucks and the service he gets from Scania Argentina. "I was very surprised by the ease of driving, impressive technology and comfort," he explains. "These new trucks improve the drivers' work. Not only in safety, but in comfort, with how many kilometres and hours they spend in these trucks." With the company's two largest Scania trucks, an R 500 acquired in 2019 and a more recently purchased R 540, they are able to transport b-train configurations of up to 75 tonnes. .

I'm not chastising. Rather, I simply asked him to refrain from using profanity. The individual repeatedly used the word sh*t in posts, and finally dumb*ass. I politely suggested that he might not use such language here, because we don't want Barry and Watt's Mack to face problems with content issues. The other individual did not use profanity. A bit of dry humor is tolerable.

Sir, could you please refrain from vulgar language? I for one would appreciate it. Though we're full of varied opinions about any topic, at the end of the day, we are a family here. As adults, we agree to disagree without calling each other names.

I agree with you 100%, any mask is better than nothing. If everyone out in public wore a mask right from the beginning, we wouldn't have this embarrassing catastrophe now. Finally facing reality with maxed out hospitals, Texas Governor Abbott has reversed his stance and is now requiring all citizens wear masks. But it's too late. .
