    Québec city Canada. Ford did close 3 dealers in the last five years, the only one left has land-rover and jaguar so they are supposed to be good...... went to other dealers in a 50 kilometer area but the fealing was the same. one dealer was even searching for the handle to open the hood!!!!

    new owner!!!

    went to the local dealer this afternoon and signed for a xlt blue wagon with sonar and engine bloc heater!!! still nead to clear at the bank but i don t see a problem there. i went for a test drive with a red wagon, the tire pressure warning light was on, they said probably a low tire so they brought my futur tc out for me to look at it guess what... tire pressure light on.... they said that it would be solved before delivery on friday. do you guys think i should have them remove the rear lights in my presence to be shure there is no quality control problems... i think the salesman information on the tc was not adecate the salesman was a little confused when i ask im how com the fog light switch was on but there are no fog lights in front off the vehicule!!!! he did not know about rear fog lights....(very funny) i asked him about the sonar bypass switch again no clue, after telling me he was not the best salesman for this vehicule he went to get another guy witch looked at the thing and finnaly came to the conclusion that there is no switch to bypass it!!! a that time i was almost laughing (or crying)!!! hope sales persons get a better formation over new vehicules i think they got the tc too fast to the dealers before giving them the proper training for selling this one (just hope the service dept. has had a better training on the tc). delivery is suppose to be friday so if you guys have other things i have to be looking for on delivery please post. in the mean time i will go and get rid off the white sh.... that is still falling from the sky tonight. salut!!!
  3. the duratech engine is basicaly a focus engine they also say that a focus beefed up tranny is used on the tc. maybe a manual tranny from a focus wagon could fit in the engine compartement. (i am not a mecanic).
  4. hi, everyone. nice to see a forum about a new vehicule i am thinking about buying. i am the owner of a ford ranger and was thinking of trading it in for a transit connect xlt 5 passenger. i am not in a rush to trade my ranger and was thinking about going for a smaller engine but nothing actually hooked me until now...the only thing that bothers me about this new truck is the towing capacity. even my old toyota echo hatchback had a towing capacity of 700 pds. i will further investigate this whit ford of canada. this could be a good vehicule for me to modify since i do a lot of kayaking and usualy sleep in the back of my ranger! sorry if my english is not perfect i usualy am french speaking (nobody perfect).
