Sync 4 is just the next iteration of sync. Target audiences or premium vehicles don’t have anything to do with it. I’m guessing either the sync 4 software or hardware wasn’t quite ready yet or ford still had an abundance of sync 3 hardware that they needed to get rid of. Sync 4 is rolling out...
I don’t use Apple car play. The sync 3 system I have does everything I need it to over Bluetooth, however if you want to use Apple car play, you will need to plug your phone in. Sync 4 has the wireless Apple car play.
I’m not sure about your numbers. The 2012 focus has 33.2” of rear legroom. The ranger has 34.5” in the supercrew. Also the outback is 20” longer than the sport so it’s not even comparable. The cross trek is closer in size and it has 36.5” in the rear.
Im 6’1” and the back seat of the ranger is...
If you get a ranger xlt tremor, it will probably come in around 40k, so just slightly more than a loaded badlands sport. I think it looks pretty cool (minus the graphics), especially those auxiliary switches. If this was released when the ranger first came out, I probably would have bought it...
Here is a render someone did a while back of a raptor bronco sport. I like the look of this, especially with the body colored roof, a, c, and d pillars.
this was my biggest complaint about the sport. a few extra inches wouldn’t have hurt it. I was concerned at first that it would be a “cute ute” like the renegade, but it’s essentially the size of the 2nd gen escape and has better proportions than the renegade. Ford’s website calls the sport a...
maybe the cgi pics are off on ford’s website, but I couldn’t find seats that matched the video. The outerbanks seats show blue and black leather on the website where as the video shows seats that are blue leather and gray cloth.
then the badlands comes with blue and gray cloth seats, but they...
I don’t know, I’m not a fan of those guys. I think they are overly critical and negative, especially about ford’s. If they’d lighten up a bit, it’d be a better channel. I’ll take Doug demuro, the straight pipes, raitis rides, or Alex on autos any day over savage geese.
I think he was referencing the 1.5L when he said underpowered. It has 181 hp and 190 torque compared to the 2.0’s 245 and 275. I currently have the 2.0 and it’s a great engine.
I never said it won’t sell. I think it’s going to be a hit for ford, but why limit options that make ford money and that people want? If I had to guess, most of those options will be rolled out in the upcoming years in a tech or convenience package of some sort. We have different opinions as to...
I’m not even talking about UGDO, just features in general that are missing from the sport that are on all the other vehicles in this segment. You think this is some super special niche vehicle and it isn’t. It’s a mainstream vehicle where the majority of buyers will not be off-roaders or...
I agree with everything you said. I think the people you are referring to will get the badlands with all of its extra features. The person who buys the sport just because they like how it looks (in my opinion, this will be the majority of buyers and they will get the big bend and outer banks)...
