Patrick Murphy I have an '88 F150 with about 220,000 km on it and its my baby. The engine has about 35,000 on a rebuilt, been changed from a 3spd overdrive auto to a 4spd bull low. She aint nice on fuel but if you get stuck in a ditch my beast will pull you out with out a groan. Got a bit of money tied into it but would rather keep driving it instead of the Ion I also have (strictly for carting passengers)

Al Dyling Took 5 people to wake nation in Cincinnati from bellville Michigan for a wakeboard cable park trip in my 2009 Ford flex. Got all 5 people in plus all 5 wakeboards. Managed about 23.5 mpg going down and 24.4 mpg coming back. My Buddy was so impressed he ended up getting one.

Paula Lancaster Lupi I will have to see if I have any pictures, but we lived for 3 years in Italy, due to the Army, and I took my 1995 Ford Aerostar with us. It was great, I was bigger than a lot of the other vehicles there and they got out of MY way! 2 years ago she finally decided she had enough, when we moved to MI. When we traded her in she had over 200,000 miles! Her body was falling apart, the back hatch broke, the sliding door wouldn't work any more, her muffler fell off and had to be replaced, and at the end her heater went out. Now I have a beautiful red 2010 Ford Fusion that I just LOVE!!!! Gotta Love FORD!!! They last and are TOUGH!!

We Want You to Share Your Ford Photos!
1/27/2012

There’s something new afoot on Ford Facebook pages. We’ve created an easy way for you to share your experiences with your Ford vehicle by sending us a picture or two, or three or more!

We kicked it off a several weeks ago by asking you to share photos of creative ways that you’ve packed your vehicle for a trip. And you responded with pics of stuffing the trunks of Mustangs, stacking the rear of your favorite Ford SUV and frankly being way more creative than we imagined. A sample of some the photos submitted are in the slide show shown above.

Now we’re looking for photos that show the world where your Ford has taken you. Send us one from a recent trip or dig through those photo files for an image from your favorite adventure. Then head to the Ford Facebook page to submit your photo! Come back later to see if you picture was selected.

While you’re there, you can click on the left and right arrow buttons near the photo to see the adventures that others have shared. Click here to visit the Ford Facebook page to get started!

Consider a "true" utility vehicle. As a baseline use a 50's pickup truck and its "features": rubber mat flooring,bench seat, crank windows, manual transmission, no A/C, minimal interior treatments, Etc. The lower weight, lower cost, smaller engine (power plant TBD) vehicle offered only as a pickup and 2-door sedan no options (except color ?) . Only absolutely required safety features would be included. Priced at $9995 you would sell a million/year. Steve Terlep/Rockledge, FL (Fusion owner)
ans/supporters deserve a Ford manual transmission truck like the Ford Super Duty's ZF 6 speed OD Manual was my favortie transmission I want it back in the ford super duty where it belongs it makes driving the ford super duty funner, better fuel economy the new 6 speed Automatic makes the diesel/gas use to much fuel , easier on maintenace and repairs and cheaper on the purchase price So People/ Loyal Super Duty Customers want the ZF 6-speed OD Manual with the 6.7 Powerstroke diesel or the 6.2 Gas engine but the ZF 6-speed OD manual is better off being the partner transmission with the 6,7 Powerstroke , Automatics are too expansive on repairs, use too much fuel, makes driving boring , etc.So Ford wake up and listen to your loyal customers/ fans like me and reoffer the ZF 6 Speed OD back in Ford F250-550 Super Duty Trucks , you owe us that your customers So Ford Please reoffer the ZF 6-speed Manual, there is still a DEMAND We Canadians and Amercians deserve our Manual Transmission option back auto dont cut it Dodge is taking Sales on their Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 Equipped Manual diesels , My reasons are the same as anybody's. Control, reliability, economy, etc. The Manuals aka ZF 6-speed OD Manual are so far superior to automatics in those regards that my feeling is that if I know/Learned how to drive one of them, I'm crazy if I don't. It seems like the automatic transmission is always the first thing to give trouble in a truck. lthough I realize that most consumers prefer an automatic, there are those of us who don't. I understand that there are costs associated with designing a truck with 2 types of transmissions, so why not make it an extra cost option? I'd be willing to pay up to $500 additional for a standard, and yes, I would wait the extra 6 weeks. It's a shame you disoffered the ZF 6speed OD Manual and you were so wrong to Do that and WE Want it back Badly in our super duty, here a high demand for it Josh
I recently visited the NAIAS and was impressed with the new Fusion redesign. But I couldn't help noticing that the SEL Fusion on display had the exhaust on one side. It looks cheap compared to the sexy Titanium version. With all the hype and pictures on the internet, you are seeing only the high end version which is probably the 75th percentile consumers. Why can't the styling be standardized across all versions of the models (i.e. SE, SEL, and Titanium)? When I look at Hyundai-Kia exterior styling, they maintain a standard design regardless of version. Granted, a few chrome appliques and accents are added, but for the most part, they look the same. For example, all the Sonata's and Azera's have the dual exhaust look across all versions. But what changes are the interior features, technology, and the performance/engine/powertrain. I think of the exterior styling as the first thing you see. It's essentially the curb appeal of the car and an extension of the company. If something looks great on a car, such as the dual exhaust look on the Titanium, pay the extra price and go with it across all the SE and SEL models! We recently bought a 2011 Taurus SEL and I hate to compare it to the sharp styling of the SHO. The SHO has the sexy dual exhaust, spoiler, and chrome accent on the lower grille. Why couldn't the exterior styling of the Taurus look the same for the SE, SEL, Limited and SHO and merely modify the interior and performance based on the higher end version. Honestly, it looks cheap and feels cheap when you compare the SE or SEL model to a Limited or a SHO from the outside. Sure if I had ten-thousand dollars more I would indulge in the SHO, but how much would it take to have the dual exhaust on the SEL along with a decklid spoiler and chrome accents on the grille. So here is the solution Ford, if you want to keep turning heads on the road, standardize the exterior styling on all the variants and focus on varying the interior and performance for people who want to pay a little more. I think Hyundai has done this quite successfully and have significantly increased their market share in the US. There is no reason you guys can't do it...
Yes I'm the one that degraded and bashed on Ford 5-7 years ago for not having vehicles with turbo's. I have told you that BMW and Mercedes are going turbo crazy for a reason not because they are stupid, becuase they're smart. I thank you for listnening to my opininion and my idea. Here is something I trully believe would be a good option only with 2013 Fusion only because of it's looks. I would never recommend this option in older Fusions because they do not have that appeal of the new one that is yet to come out. I would really like to see a 2013 Ford Fusion in a V6 twin turbo variant and a 6 speed manual transmission. At first put this option together and go around United Stated to try to sell the idea to people and see what they really think. Make sure the price of the vehicle won't break people's wallets by not going over 35k and please I do not want to see a SHO badging for this option. Fusion is already a hot selling vehicle, but adding more engine variants like this one, you will have a vehicle fore every customer, anywhere from a hypermiller to a "hypergaspedaller".
