    Spying: A First Glimpse Into A F-150 Plug-In Hybrid

      Ford appears to be covering all the bases with the F-150 in terms of powertrains

    We know that Ford is hard at work on diesel option for the 2017 F-150, along with Hybrid model that is due out in 2020. Now there is a possible third powertrain that Ford is working on.

    Automobile and AutoGuide got their hands on new spy shots showing off an F-150 mule with the front fenders and hood covered. On the passenger side fender, there appears to be a door for a possible charging port (the video below gives a better view of it). The spy photographer also noted the engine would turn off at various points and the humming noise of an electric motor taking its place.

    Automobile speculates that along with the electric motor, there is likely the 2.7L EcoBoost V6 and ten-speed automatic transmission.

    • You should eventually do it.  Personally, I don't think the place has a very good vibe, but I had to endure it.  They have extensive agricultural areas because they offer that area of study and, when the wind blows the wrong way, you feel like you want to throw up.  In some fields, they consider it on par with Michigan, but, for most fields, Michigan is much, much better.  The freshman admit rate at U of I remains high.  At Michigan, it keeps tightening up and getting lower. I think the latter is a much more attractive campus and college town.  Within the last 20 years, I found out that I have a first cousin in New York I'd never met before who chose Michigan over Cornell, and he also got into Cornell. Hindsight is 20/20, isn't it?
    • I've been taking photos and need to slot them into their right spots. GM "full sizes" Buick LaCrosse (3rd and final generation) This picture turned out good and flatters it.  It's about the same length as the 1st generation, but the sweep of the cabin greenhouse makes it look deceptively longer. I think there was a person inside, and they were wondering why I was taking this photo - - - - - Olds Ninety-Eight Regency (RWD, probably Olds 5.0 liter Rocket V8) Got it just in time! I'm thinking '83 or '84. I will always love these cars. This one dates back to July.  The others are all recent.  As I would say, "voila la Cathedrale Roulante." - - - - - Pontiac Bonneville At its very youngest, this is a 36 year old car.  The last year for this rear light bar was 1989. I saw this in a valet situation at a hospital and didn't have a chance to talk to the parking attendant. This Bonneville is in outstanding shape. I did not like the rounded Bonneville that Pontiac marketed from 1992 through 1999.  But I really liked the very last one which debuted in 2000 ... as long as the trim level didn't get carried away with the cladding.
    • Not good for the world economy as China has grown without importing. China’s growth is coming at the rest of the world’s expense
    • Some days I miss the whoosh of a V8 engine from behind a commanding dashboard.
