Escape, Edge, TC to be KilledI'm not sure what Ford's (or better yet the expectations that the press has set when it comes to this apparently HEV/PHEV push that is going around), but I've always expected Ford to expand P/HEV offerings even as they come out with more EVs...given CAFE demands that is a given. There are only a handful of products in NA that don't offer some sort of Hybrid option and one is more or less a slam dunk because it shares its platform with products that do. The only big issue is the Bronco and Ranger at this point. But here lies the question, do they go the cheap and lazy route of the 3.3L V6 that is in the Explorer (but will it even fit?-not sure how much differences there are between the Cyclone and Nano V6s in physical size) or do they develop a RWD 2.3L Ecoboost with the powerboost transmission? That would make the most sense, but also how would it fit into other products to offset development costs? IMO it could be a higher end engine to slot over the 2.7L, since it would most likely develop more Torque and a little more HP then it, going by trends in the F-150. So it would be a slightly more powerful engine that gets slightly better around town MPGs then the I4 or V6.Tue, 05 Sep 2023 11:06:25 +0000
