Honeymoons over with EB folks. Ford basically stayed flat in the first quarter with a tiny 1.9% growth.....just barely above GM. People are seeing the EB mpg claim is not panning out and while tow numbers are good, they get terrible mpgs under load & in the end, people don't like ending up with just a V6 in their truck. Word is spreading. I hear it all the time. Ever wonder why RAM is growing at an extraordinary rate (23% first quarter this year) while Chevy and Ford are basically flat? RAM is giving people what they want. Ford is telling people what they are going to get. GM just can't build an appealing truck.

Missing the launch of this new truck without an 8 or 10 speed in place is also gonna hurt this new truck. Bad.
It will be interesting.
