Thank you for sliming down my choices when I go to buy my next vehicle. To be fair, I would never buy new or finance my house on some 80k behemoth.

The backwards think that I can see is ingrained in Ford will certainly keep me from owning a used one.

Toyota has doubled down here in the US market as well. Moving their plant to TX at the hight of the small-mindedness social policies and the muskrat exodus. Also pretending hydrogen is the future is just not gonna work for me.
