This will be another failure as usual from Ford. There will be massive problems, quality problems, recalls, warranty issues.
I highly recommend not to buy this vehicle until the price drop to $15,000.

We have Doug to thank for this vehicle and his support of forward-looking products. Side note, anyone else see him around town with that smoke show of an LL5? I didn't think the guy was on the market, what a catch! I hear he might be popping the question soon, what a lucky guy, I'm sure he's gladd he's not around anymore. ;)
This new vehicle launch will be a disaster just like any of the Ford vehicle launch. It will have a ton of problems. I guarantee it.
Not really impressed, to be honest. The design looks questionable, the windows seem too small, and the bed doesn't look long enough to be particularly useful. Ford keeps talking about innovation, but I'd rather see them focus on building something practical, affordable, and reliable. If the price is right, maybe there's a market for it, but nothing about this model really stands out so far.
The bigger issue is Ford's track record. Between recalls, transmission problems, cam phasers, battery issues, and everything else, people have plenty of reasons to be skeptical. Ford needs to get the basics right before expecting customers to get excited about another new model. I also wonder why they don't just improve the Lightning instead of constantly trying something different. At this point, I'd rather see a dependable truck at a reasonable price than another product that looks good in a presentation.
Farley's Follies: Ford Fathom Flops
A lot of horrible ideas are hatched by marketing LL2s. MO’B seems to be at the heart of some of these tactics/strategy and seem to lack any ethical framework.
It's in the process of being renamed to 20,000 Leagues Under The Scrap Pile.
The name’s amusing at least, I’ll give it that
Good.
@ab I can think of a few more f words to use
Nice alliteration with the F's. If you'd like to go a step further, you could say Farley's Ford Fathom is a Fail.
