- i_am_jl 1y agoI'm also skeptical. I suspect that book time for this varies wildly depending on drivetrain config.
- cyanydeez 1y agoHYou think it might be the CEO? No, couldn't be, surely someone paid 100s of times their employees would be honest about something he has no real experience doing.
- rootusrootus 1y agoI think it is either the journalist, or the guy she interviewed. I know how Ford sets book time. Their methodology, while perhaps biased towards optimistic estimates, is not ever going to put cab R&R at under an hour. Charitably, someone is mistaken. But given that these numbers are core to the argument being made, I find it odd that the claims were not vetted at all. It takes almost no effort to find example R&R times for various Ford pickups, and they're all measured in hours. It's not hard, typically 6-10 bolts depending on the model. But even with bulk electrical connectors, no rust, the right tools, and experience, the process takes more than an hour.
- cyanydeez 1y agoSmells like CEO in here.
- MarkMarine 1y agoThe fact that you need to take the cab off to do an oil pan gasket should set off some alarm bells for how maintainable these vehicles are.
