Your last sentence is key to this... According to our Charter of Rights and Freedoms( Like your Constitution ) we’re all equal. Every individual (not a belief system or ideology) is equal before and under the law. We all have equal protections and benefit equally from the law. Next week, Members of Parliament will debate a motion to condemn islamophobia and track incidents of hate crime against muslims in the House of Commons next week. Motion 103 was tabled by Mississauga, Ont., Liberal backbencher Iqra Khalid last fall, herself a muslim. We've seen what the results of " blasphemy laws " do in the islamic world. And now Canada is working toward its own " blasphemy law "??? In Canada, nobody get special treatment or protections. And since our Charter specifically states that, this Motion, if passed by Parliament, will go to the Supreme Court of Canada and be suspended.

Feel better now that you cried that out?

My research says no. FCA only uses these on their Ferrari Brand cars. -
These could be just like the BWI Group sourced MagnaRide shocks GM ( and Ford, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Acura ) use
-
I also read that this is the " first Ford " to come equipped with them. But... Both GT350 models have them stock ( originally only on the GT350 if one ticked the Track Package option) Then there is the Fusion Sport tricky shocks. http://www.digitaltrends.com/cars/2017-ford-fusion-v6-sport-computer-controlled-shock-absorbers/ Maybe being the " first Ford " was a misprint.

Not sure if it's been mentioned... The 2018 comes with continuously controlled damping too

POWER UPGRADE. The 3.5L EcoBoost® engine in the Expedition Platinum is tuned to give you more refined power – upping the output to 400 horsepower and 480 lbs.-ft. of torque. Which means more responsive performance as you pass others on the highway So it's tuned a bit more aggressively in Platinum model https://m.ford.ca/suvs/expedition/2018/

" The FEEL like being held together by rubber bands and paper clips. " I'm to believe since the 2018 Expedition images/PR were just made public, one hasn't had a chance to FEEL the Expedition

Nice to see Ford also copied those square fender wells too

A voice of reason!

It's all a mystery until the vehicle is actually put on a scale and the new truck is explained more in detail vs the outgoing model and the competition. Details are still pretty scarce

We have this... " Ford claims the 2018 Expedition has 40 new-to-the-model features and optional driver-assist technologies. Maneuvering is made easier with a 360-degree camera, parking sensors, and trailer backup assist. It also will offer lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, pre-collision warning with automatic braking, and blind-spot monitoring. " C&D

One must note there will be/are many features on this all new Expedition that we not available on the past gen or on the Tahoe.

Man you got some serious issues you need sorting out. And that is not an assumption.

" We all understand acceleration. It’s the rate of change of velocity. This 4,891-pound Tesla Model S P100D does it best, reaching 30, 40, 50, and 60 mph from a standstill more quickly than any other production vehicle we’ve ever tested, full stop. In our testing, no production car has ever cracked 2.3 seconds from 0 to 60 mph. But Tesla has, in 2.275507139 seconds. The Tesla does not hold the advantage forever, though, because higher speeds give the advantage to horsepower over instant torque. The Ferrari LaFerrari hits 70 mph a tenth of a second quicker; the Porsche 918 and McLaren P1 pull ahead at 80 mph, and these hypercars all continue to pull away at higher speeds. But around town, everybody has long since lifted off the accelerator pedal. " This thing is incredible. Simply incredible Read More.

Assumptions huh? The best ASSumption is someone here assuming my one liner is about them...

Fiat News: Dealers Are None Too Happy With FCA's Expansion Plans
FordCosworth replied to William Maley's topic in Fiat
Thin lineup, losing market share and your own consultants are saying no... -
The Hemi powered 1500 has a max towing of close to 2000lbs less than the GM and Ford counterparts. All while getting considerably worse mpg while having quite the weaker payload rating too. The ED only saving grace is it's mpg. It's is an option on higher end trucks which, in this example, tip the scale on the heavy side ( GVW 6000lbs ) killing the 1500's GVWR ( 6960lbs ) already weak payload ( 960lbs ) the truck cannot tow 8650lbs legally. You need a minimum 10% tongue weight ( 865lbs ). Remember anything in the cabin is classified as payload. Before you even add driver, you have 95lbs after payload subtracts tongue weight - you're going to have to source a 95lbs driver to legally tow ( Payload is calculated from GVWR subtracting the GVW. ) https://www.google.ca/amp/www.motortrend.com/cars/ram/1500/2014/comparison-2015-ford-f-150-vs-ram-1500-chevrolet-silverado/amp/

Are you talking about the picture from the outside looking into the cabin from the passenger window? It may be disguised under the 12" of plastic and grab handle...

"Our sources tell us that with this new Silverado, GM is accelerating its efforts to create an aluminum-intensive body to match the Ford F-series trucks. The next-gen truck — reportedly being developed with the internal code name T1XC — is expected to reach the market in late 2018 as a 2019 model. Our sources also told us that GM has made great efforts to refine its production processes with these lightweight materials, and promises a lighter, stronger and more efficient truck than its competitors. "It will be interesting to see how the next Silverado ultimately stacks up against the current F-150, and how GM will spin its recent criticism of aluminum-intensive trucks when it has one of its own. Now that we know that next-generation Silverado prototypes exist, we'll be on the lookout to catch them on the road. Stay tuned." Anyone see how fat ass that A Pillar is? Read More

A Turbo 4 in the Heavy Ass Ram though???? All their current engine offerings ( Hemi, Pentastar and the gutless ED ) are already over matched by this piggy. The 1500 is 3rd string in capabilities and performance vs its chief rivals. This truck needs a ground up redesign, not just refreshes.
-
At least for now, fuel economy regulations in the United States only look to get more stringent in the future, and automakers are coming up surprising methods to meet the upcoming standards. For example, check out these shots of this Ram 1500 while under development. That’s not a V8 or even a V6 under the hood. According to our spies, it’s a four-cylinder... The grainy images make clearly seeing the engine difficult, but the mill is definitely not something you’d usually see in a pickup Read More
