Apologies to anyone offended by my post. That certainly was not my intent. I quoted other threads where these limitations were discussed in hopes of keeping this one on topic. No need to rehash here. Meanwhile, curious to see how long it takes Ford to refund my deposit ("Typically, refunds...

Today my wife and I test drove a Premium AWD at our local dealer. It seemed well built with reasonable performance (though we would expect the GT to be far more impressive from that perspective), and it was hard to resist the appeal of "shiny and new," but the dealer confirmed that neither a...

Not in my opinion. Perhaps they should just call it a tall Mustang sedan?

I just received this Email about my Carbonized GT reservation: Is Dark Matter Gray Metallic not more similar?

Interesting detail on the new Model Y Tow Package accessory listing: Rise to the occasion, Ford!

It's unclear from the video but should work as shown here (also see here).

“When you need to transport a lot of things, or tow a trailer, the car offers a towing capacity of fifteen hundred kilos.” 3,300 lb towing is reasonable for “a true SUV.” Looks like a good contender among the growing field of options becoming available soon. Note: The USA site states, "402...

Let's hope such threads don't appear on this forum after the Mach-E is released...

I considered the I-Pace seriously before becoming discouraged by significant problems encountered by too many owners.

I expect only short distances to be feasible for the near future, as the battery penalty is large and the charging infrastructure is logistically challenged by trailers. Why Electric Cars Aren't Yet Great for Towing (They can pull, but they can't do it for long)

...and Toyota soon will announce a tow rating for the 2021 RAV4 Prime (PHEV). Other BEV options are on the horizon as well, so things are about to get more interesting.

My RAV4 V6 is rated to tow 3500 lbs with 246 lb-ft of torque. The Model Y is rated to tow 3500 lbs with 471 lb-ft of torque. The Mach-E was rated for the UK market to tow 1650 lbs with 417 lb-ft of torque. The additional 11 lb-ft of torque described today seems unlikely to increase the tow...

If the Mach-E is rated for only 1,650 lbs (or not rated at all), then my aforementioned scenario could prompt law enforcement challenges: Reference thread: 2006 V6/Tow. Towed a 3,500lb, 22' boat, easy. (Pics)

While I appreciate the EcoHitch effort, I would prefer to see Ford rate the vehicle for towing and offer an OEM hitch with warranty coverage before considering aftermarket alternatives.

My first was a 1966 Ford Mustang Coupe. It was my dream car growing up and I finally managed to buy one as a sophomore in college about 30 years ago. It was mostly stock and had a 289 cubic inch V8 engine with two barrel Holley carburator and glasspacks. I had the engine painted blue and the...

Tesla just announced an OEM roof rack accessory for the Model Y. Perhaps Ford will follow suit for the Mach-E. Model Y Roof Rack

Tesla just announced an OEM hitch option for the Model Y with 3,500 lb towing capacity. Perhaps Ford will follow suit for the Mach-E. Tesla Model Y gets $1,000 tow hitch option, $450 roof rack accessory Tesla Adds $1,000 Model Y Hitch One Month After Launch, But Why Now?

I visited the show today which, in my opinion, Jaguar and Toyota stole. 1. Jaguar was employing six I-Pace BEVs to drive folks around an indoor track. We accelerated hard, sailed over moguls, conquered a steep hill, drifted through turns, etc. The vehicle is quick and stable with a premium...

The number of Mach-E "reservations" that become actual sales remains to be seen. Until orders are accepted, those fully refundable deposits of only $500 merely represent capital voluntarily loaned to Ford interest free pending sufficient details to make a well-informed decision. At MSRP, the...
