    I didn't realize they even sold anything other than Mustangs and F150s. Those are the only Fords I ever see.

    Sadly, Its going to get ALOT worse........
    If you look at what Hackett is facing, its this or going bust.
    As a business man , if the company was split into two companies
    1. A HERITAGE company.......The Ford Estate, the Museum and the family protected like the Royal family of England.
    Then
    2. Start a new company FORD 21 CENTURY , wipe out the debt under bankrupt, they could start all over again.....
    It might come down to that.....
    They are in that bad of shape......
    Someone had reported last week that EVERY CAR and MODEL has a recall , Everyone.....
    A F 150 80 grand?
    A Focus RS 50 grand?
    A Navigator 120 grand?
    Totally out of touch as millennials WONT pay for anything , My generation is the LAST working group, how many retro Mustangs would I want at 65 years old?
    Sad but we saw this coming, it will get worse though.
    Wishing them luck, but they need business men!

    Lol sorry joey but those f150's out sell every other brand of truck. In fact the f series brand is worth more then the rest of the company.

    The company isn't worth much, that's the problem........
    The F150 sells but the ecoboost v6 claims are killing the f150 overall....they are at 35 to 40% claims experience.
    Heres where Mullally did it right.
    Guys come into my office, hows your dept. doing? They would all lie and make up reports and then he would give them 5 days for the real report.
    If they still made stuff up they WERE FIRED.
    Its the same now with Hackett, you will see many release papers soon, to many false claims and statements....
    The largest being the ECOBUST.
    6 BILLION IN UNDER FUNDED PENSION MONIES....6 BILLION.
    I feel bad but, they have huge issues.
    Hope he pulls it off.

    explain this...35-40% of all Ecoboost trucks have a warranty claim? Ecoboost accounts for 35-40% of total Ford warranty claims? or...?

    Guys look at their warranty percentage and losses on the balance sheets........They are horrible.
    The v6 ecoboost has a horrible track record.....Call your dealer and ask how many have blown motors or shaking in 3rd gear.
    If you noticed the new mustang the v6 is dropped and the new GT500 has a v8 and the new F150 sneeked back in a v8 .
    The gas numbers NEVER added up.
    If the Raptor continues, they will bring back the v8 .
    But all these points are just a small portion.
    Your probably looking at 60 percent of the ENTIRE workforce being laid off.
    THOSE UNION PENSIONS ARE SINKING THE SHIP.
    Again, I still have a 1926 TT, 30 Model A 56 tbird, 54 mercury Monterey sport coup, my son has his 1966 mustang and the greatest truck ever my 2006 LINCOLN LT.
    I get it,just saw the writing along time ago.....

    OOps forgot my 2005/2006 Ford GT's....

    You have to take everything GTJoey says with a grain of salt.

    For a while there, he was posting not as "GTJOEY 1314" but GTJOEYECOBOOST1314. I'll give you one guess what changed his opinion.

    Lol I like joey. He's passionate with his beliefs. I don't agree with him on everything but the ecoboost is trash.

    I thought I would be, but the facts or lack of them, created part of this mess.
    The V6 ECOBOOST is a BUST.
    Would love to see one on a dyno but...........
    Old news.
    The MY TOUCH system even after the most LOYAL customers complained were panned off.
    It is and was a total disaster.
    Fields, Nair are all gone......and soooo many more to come.
    How come?
    The quality was to good?
    Well, I wish Hackett well and Ford of course but you have a looming 6 BILLION dollars UNION PENSION obligation and its coming real soon.
    We all hated GM and Chrysler for what they did but it wiped the slate clean.
    What the Ford family has done over 100 years compares to the royal family in England.
    The history and change to the entire world is huge.
    Save the Ford Monarchy, the Estates and the Village with tax breaks and historical status and create Ford II and move ahead.
    How many of us are in the same boat with whats going on these days.
    Most.
