Susan Moreno+FollowFord’s $19B EV Oops: Why Big Electric Trucks FloppedFord just admitted their big, fancy electric trucks and SUVs are money pits—think losing $50k for every one sold! The company’s CEO says these pricey EVs just aren’t what most people want (or can afford). Now, Ford’s switching gears to focus on smaller, cheaper hybrids and EVs. Lesson? Sometimes, following the crowd isn’t as smart as following the customer. If you’re shopping for an EV, expect more budget-friendly options soon! #Business #EntrepreneurshipStartup #Ford00Share
robertocarter+FollowWould You Drive a Ford Powered by BYD?Ford’s got a wild new play: instead of trying to out-tech China’s BYD in the battery game, they might just let BYD power their next wave of hybrid SUVs and pickups. It’s like admitting your neighbor makes better coffee, so you just buy it from them. For drivers, this could mean cheaper, longer-range hybrids—but it’s a bit of a tightrope, since some folks aren’t thrilled about American cars running on Chinese tech. Would you care if your Ford’s heart was made in China? #Business #EntrepreneurshipStartup #Ford00Share
James Smith+FollowFord Might Bring Back Sedans?!Ford ditched sedans years ago, but now the CEO is hinting they could make a comeback! With new car prices hitting $50k+ and buyers begging for affordable rides (hello, Maverick!), Ford’s rethinking its all-truck-and-SUV lineup. The sedan market’s still alive and kicking—could we see a new Taurus or even a four-door Mustang soon? Never say never, says Ford. Would you swap your SUV for a sedan if the price was right? #Cars #Ford #SedanComeback00Share
Kim Reeves+FollowFord’s Battery Drama: Why Your Next Hybrid Might Be CheaperGrab your coffee—Ford’s in hot water for quietly chatting with China’s BYD about batteries for cars made outside the US. The big deal? If Ford goes through with this, hybrids and EVs in Europe could get cheaper, thanks to BYD’s budget-friendly tech. But back home, politicians are fuming over the idea of American brands leaning on Chinese parts. For car buyers, this could mean more affordable options, but for Ford, it’s a balancing act between saving money and dodging political headaches. #Business #EntrepreneurshipStartup #Ford10Share
Nicole Morgan+FollowFord Tops 2025 Recall List—AgainCar recall drama alert! 2025 saw Ford recalling a jaw-dropping 12.9 million vehicles, blowing every other brand out of the water. Toyota, Stellantis, and Honda also had millions of cars called back for issues like backup cameras and engine fails. Even Tesla and GM weren’t safe. If you drive a Ford, Toyota, or Honda, you might want to double-check if your ride’s on the list. Is your car one of the unlucky ones? #Cars #CarRecalls #Ford00Share
Alexander Black+FollowFord’s $30K Electric Pickup Could Change EverythingFord just dropped a bombshell: a $30,000 electric pickup built on a new Universal EV Platform. This isn’t just one truck—it’s a whole new way of making EVs, with plans for crossovers and commercial rides too. The first model rolls out of Louisville in 2027, and it’s aiming to be affordable, flexible, and even offer eyes-off Level 3 autonomy by 2028. If Ford pulls this off, it could totally shake up the EV game in the US. #Cars #Ford #ElectricTruck82Share
Leah Pierce+FollowFord’s Cheaper Trucks Are Crushing ItFord just had its best sales year of the decade, and it’s not just the big F-150s leading the charge—smaller, more affordable pickups like the Maverick and Ranger are selling like crazy. The Maverick even set a new record! Hybrids are up, too, but Ford’s EVs took a hit, with the F-150 Lightning getting the axe. Seems like buyers are loving those budget-friendly, no-frills trucks right now. #Cars #Ford #Trucks112Share
Michael Wilson+FollowFord’s Cheaper Trucks Are Flying Off LotsFord just pulled a power move: instead of chasing luxury, they slashed prices on trucks and SUVs—and buyers are loving it. Sales jumped 6% last year, and even more people are snapping up hybrids and entry-level trims. With tariffs looming and everyone feeling the pinch, Ford’s discounts and employee pricing are making those big, capable rides way more accessible. Forget leather seats—affordable workhorses are the new flex! #Cars #Ford #CarDeals5714Share
Michael Wilson+FollowHarley Needs a Glow-Up, Says Ford’s CEOFord’s CEO Jim Farley just called out Harley-Davidson for clinging to the past and basically said, “Change or die.” Harley’s been stuck selling pricey cruisers to Boomers, while younger riders want something fresh (and affordable). Farley’s advice? Harley needs to shake things up, diversify its lineup, and stop living in nostalgia if it wants to stick around for another century. Will they finally listen? #Cars #HarleyDavidson #Ford00Share
stephenolson+Follow$160K Mechanic Jobs—Still No Takers?!Ford is literally begging for mechanics, offering up to $160,000 a year, and STILL can’t fill thousands of open spots. Service bays are empty, customers are waiting, and it’s not because the pay is bad—it’s because not enough people are training for these high-tech jobs. Wild that you can make six figures without a degree, but the stigma around blue-collar work is keeping people away. Would you consider switching careers for that kind of cash? #Cars #CarOwnership #Ford21Share
