Why does Ford keep confusing me?

[stuckmotor]

I have a 2001 Ford Edge, it a pickup truck. Now they have an Edge that's an SUV.
I still have my 1970 Maverick, it's a two door car. Now they have a Maverick that's a pickup truck.
If I got any of the above wrong, it's because I'm confused.

Lol, or the Bronco/Bronco sport!

How hard can it be to think of a different name for a different vehicle?
I hope they don't come out with a new Trimotor that's a blimp.

No original thought I guess. They are also re-making old tv shows and movies.

That’s nothing. Ford changes the name of the SAME car several times also. There was the Taurus, which became the Ford 500, then it changed back to the Taurus!

Because trucks don't need to conform to CAFE emissions standards, so everything that could be labeled a truck, was labeled a truck. Now that loophole has been closed so now you have a car.

Those confuse me, too.

IT aint just fords or automobiles.

What about a deere 830. Is that the 1960 8000lb ~80hp machine or the 1975 4000lb ~40hp utility?
Or the deere 4010. Is that the 1960's ~90hp precursor to the infamous 4020 or is it the more modern yanmar clone sub-compact?
Same with the 4320 and 4520's. Are they the 1970's 130HP beasts or the modern 4000-series compact tractors?

My brother really likes that updated “McGyver”, I’m not sure why. . I always thought the original one was a stretch.

To the OP; the worst travesty was the ‘78 to ‘83 Challenger. It was a disgrace to the name Mopar, never mind the original Challenger namesake.

I keep wondering when they’re going to bring back the Pinto and the Vega.
