As one of your biggest consumers and fans, I find myself perplexed again. After reading this month’s Motor Trend SUV of the Year competition, it reinforces my frustration. It also reminds me why I haven't bought a new vehicle since 2006 & 2005, which are both Fords. The Ford Explorer for example that is tested with the 4 cycle EcoBoost, which is currently the "Top of the Line" motor offered has the slowest 0-60 and quarter mile times being beat out by every Contender, including even a VW. So my question, what the heck are you guys not getting? Ford has a more than capable V-6 EcoBoost that should be offered in a "Sport" model for a majority of your brands. It should be offered in the Edge Sport, Fusion Sport, Explorer and in the Expedition, not just the Taurus and Flex!!!! Both of which should be the last choices, not the first! So wake up, you have great advances, products, technology and quality . . . Don't let your competitors take any market share, Take there’s!!!!! Sincerely, one of your biggest supporters!
P.S. When the V-6 EcoBoost is offered in either the Edge, Explorer or Expedition I will first in line to buy! We currently have a 1997 Ford Explorer XLT V-8 as one of my work trucks, my daily driver is a 2005 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer, my wife drives a 2006 Ford Fusion SEL V-6 and both my parents and my in-laws have 2 Fords in each house hold!

I Agree I have more power and better milage thay my wife, I drive the new F150 Eco Boost and she has the Edge. She is not happy about this but won't trade till the V6 is in the Edge.b 26 day(s) ago via Ford Social
N. Rodriguez I agree, using a small 4-cylinder engine in a large size vehicle is kind of dumb. However the naturally aspirated engines work very well, so why not use the 5.0L coyote v8 as the top of the line engine in these vehicles? After all, it is cheaper, and more powerful than the ecoboost v6 engines. 4 months(s) ago via Ford Social
