Really loving Ford's CEO at the moment

[Drweldin]

Just watched his interview on Fox, and he is doubling down on America. Really nice to see. Looked up their stock and price. Didn't realize they have a big dividend as well. Considering they were the only car company that didn't take handouts during the great recession (I think?) and that Henry Ford essentially invented the automobile and automotive assembly line as we know it, I'm feeling good about Ford and the legacy they continue to live. Wish I had extra to invest in Ford.

If only quality and reliability could be improved in the near future! I really don't trust the product anymore after this 2020 Explorer!

I hear ya...I've had issues, but really not too much worse than other brands overall.

Edit: Sounds cliche, but my best experiences recently (Reliability) have been with Japanese cars. A venture with Ford and something like Nissan or ??? would be cool. I truly think it's a culture "thing" and a Science thing. We know the science...

I've had to replace major components on this vehicle during the first 5 years of ownership and under 50K miles that I've never ever had to replace on any other Ford, Mercury, Lincoln or Infiniti that I have owned over the past 35 years. Lucky for me they were all repaired or replaced under factory warranty.

I've owned (2) Infinitis so I agree with you, and that's my point, I think Nissan would bolster any US manufacturer. They "just work"
