... I may trade up in a couple of years for that 30 mpg aluminum body truck when we start making them. This truck I have now only gets 14 mpg (same mpg as the model T...). Thanks!
I saw a section of the aluminum body at NAIAS. No welds. All rivets and some adhesive.

We might be making them in our plant in the next few years. I'm working on the Transit line now. I haven't heard any "chatter" other than people here are excited to see it built here, if it does come here.

No "might". It is a fact. Start up at your plant will be next year.

Start up on Transit can't come soon enough. Lot's of competition out there !

It's the plan, but nothing's ever guaranteed in automotive manufacturing. The Transits coming along.

Motorcraft semi-synthetic is a good deal and is what they use at the factory on Ford products.

The Motorcraft Semi-Syn 5W-20 is what I use in my Mustang and Fusion. I change the oil and filter in the Fusion every 5K, but I prefer Wix filters as they are made right here in North Carolina. I change the oil and filter in my Mustang before each track event. Even though I only put 5K miles a year on it, the oil and filter are changed about 3 times a year. A waste? Maybe, but oil is cheap, engines are not.
