Erm it has nothing to do with politics or your lack of understanding in that area - The F150 simply doesn't fit in Europe. It is ludicrously big for our roads, parking spaces etc
Exactly - the F150 only works in the US (or at least North America) which is where they are all sold pretty much. If Ford want to become the F150 company then fine but that will go badly wrong one day. Just as well they make a range of other cars elsewhere in the world.
We’re too big or you’re too small? Don’t forget maverick is tiny with all the knowledge gleaned from big bother.Erm it has nothing to do with politics or your lack of understanding in that area - The F150 simply doesn't fit in Europe. It is ludicrously big for our roads, parking spaces etc
Ford already IS the F-series company, its their best selling global brand by a wide margin.
TBF, the Roman empire was not big on heavy duty pickup trucks back in the day. In the Olde country, you can walk, ride or drive on roads that could be 100 years old, or close to 2000 years old, obviously some are more drive-able than others. Ours in the US are comparatively new on average. I was on roads in Scotland that were tight for 2 motorcycles to pass each other. I've spent about 3 months in various European countries, about 40% on a motorcycle.
Funny you should post a Raptor - a fine example of the F150 and one I'm more familiar with. There are a few Raptor owners in Europe on FRF, and I think one of them quoted an all in expense that was something like 140% of the truck's cost - the rest in fees and taxes.Erm it has nothing to do with politics or your lack of understanding in that area - The F150 simply doesn't fit in Europe.

What's a gallon of gas (petrol) for you today?
For me it's about $3.20 for a gallon - not a liter of_our_ premium, around 93 octane.
it's not like Europeans out there crowing about how inexpensive it is to own a nice car or truck.
And we have our share of poorly built or poorly thought out cities with parking spaces designed for... well, I don't know what. It's not like American cars have been relatively small for a long period of time. This was in Virginia.
Hard to believe the same folks paved the Alps passes. I think I had a chance to ride 6 of them, maybe 7. Bang for your buck, it's among the most fun you can have with a vehicle. Ever.
I’m sure it could be. Time will tell, but it seems unlikely. The ASS impacts fuel economy ratings and they’d probably have to change them if the feature wasn’t defaulted to on.
There is a lot of ZTL's all over Italy. That's no vehicle access apart from residents ( who rarely have off street parking anyway) and service vehicles.
Nil. You cannot retrospectively change emissions figures which is what it would do.
