Red Horse Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 KSC, Just out of curiosity I was on the Ford corporate web site the other day seeing seeing what they were still pushing for sedans-given Hackett's position that cars are dead in the US. (Apparently the Koreans, Toyota, Honda etc have not discovered they are losing their ass building cars). In any case, thinking of all the press we see from the Turks about their new dealers in Europe, just for kicks I went to some of the Ford euro country web sites and clicked on "commercial", and guess what...No F-Max. 4142 etc. This clearly says to me that Ford Otosan is a "mirage" as far as Ford is concerned. The Turks may have the name, but they are on their own and if Ford does not even show the big Fords on country websites where Otosan is making big press announcements about their dealers, they are completely on their own and Dearborn could care less.

No mirage Bob. Ford Trucks uses separate, purpose-focused websites.........and that's my preference. Cars (light vehicles) and heavy trucks are two entirely different animals (apples and oranges). Note the website address says "Ford Trucks", not Ford-Otosan or Otosan. Here, for example, is the Ford Trucks website for Spain................https://www.fordtrucks.es/ F-MAX https://www.fordtrucks.es/tractora/f-max 4142 https://www.fordtrucks.es/camion-de-carretera/4142 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarNorth Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Would it be possible for Ford-Otosan to be the Heavy Truck division manufacturer here in North America? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
