For sure....just think of what will happen to them when the throttle goes wide open with all that increased Ford Power. :laughing:

GM bailed on the Toyota partnership after 30 years... it wasn't pretty for the employees as far as GM treatment... Toyota did offer a package.

Or the frames when they drop a Powerstroke in...

These partnerships have been going on for years. Every manufacture has teamed up with someone else at one point or another. I take it with a grain of salt. It will not be a major cross over but more of two top manufactures sharing R&D and component structure.

so Ford teams up with Toyota, but sells engines to Mazda???... And the Ford Escape is just a re-badged Mazda.. what a deal... Throw in two Subarus and Hynduai and you got a set of winners...

Hybrid engine with rear wheel drive in a light duty pickup?
Could be a winner. Should have a ton of torque at zero rpm with an electric motor driving the rear wheels. Maybe we'll see a 35 mpg F150 size PU in my lifetime (I'm 69).

Well, Toyota needs some help.

Hopefully they'll get the FJ Cruiser design team together with the Bronco team and bring us a vehicle that is more durable and reliable than the Chrysler Wrangler. If its a diesel, that's even better.
