Is the Maverick on the same platform as the transit/escape? 
i think i'd like a maverick. I loved the transit connect i had for work. 

Is it? 

I'd be very tempted by an AWD turbocharged Connect. 

The 13+ Transit connect is on the Global C(1) Car platform (Volvo/Maza/Ford)
The Maverick is on the C2 platform which is a newer version, but has no Transit Connect (yet?)

I would be super tempted by a Hybrid Connect

The guy was banned 2 times, then when back instantly starts E36 M3.  I stand by my comment.

Did you notice that Tom Suddard has interacted with him?  He owns the website here and is (apparently) willing to give him a third chance.  I value forgiveness. 

FlordPerformance definitely has good things to offer the community here with his knowledge.  If you don't like it, just stop popping into his threads.  Easy enough.

Relax, everybody. Disarm, relax, have some holiday spirit and welcome our newest forum member.

FWIW, I haven't talked to our newest member in recent memory--but likely exchanged a few emails last time they stopped by our forum.

The C1 platform includes the Kuga (which is why that sway bar was a good bet to try) but also the 3rd gen Focus. Which includes the RS. Please, someone do this.

Several people have done that.  Apparently it's not very difficult.  It is an interesting solution to the "I don't love the transmission" problem.

Yes, it would solve the transmission problem. :)

Toyman has the skills. Let's see just HOW tempted he is...

If i could buy one, fairly tempted. 

To build...I think I'll stuff a 6.2 in the Hummer.

I agree with you. On that note, let's invite Frenchy back then. Same theory, he has good things to offer and if you don't like it, dont click.

Let's not. 

Frenchy had a bad habit of E36 M3ting in the middle of every thread he took a passing interest in. 

We don't need him telling everyone how a Tesla Model 2 is a better work truck than an F150 and Elon promised him they would be out in 6 months for $22k.

Welcome back to the forum. 

Of all the vehicles that one can modify, why did you choose the Transit Connect?

So did this guy. Want to be fair? Frenchy gets a third chance too.
