Yea sorry, not saying its impossible, and AI is improving all the time, I just don't know if Ford would invest the money =)
I'm tracking and agree; not a programmer but work IT as well.

I don't think this is a bot, being a software engineer I know how difficult it is to build something that can parse a forum markup language that then reply with it's level of accuracy and consistency. Meaning, it seems simple to us to see your name and message, but for a program to do it, it's quite difficult and expensive. I.e. development time, bug fixes, server costs to host and run the bot.

Just something to keep in mind, the bot would need to know how to get here, I e. click on a thread, navigate to the last page, differentiate each post, read each message, match some keywords to determine if it should reply, then locate your name and use some words from your post to then locate the form below to enter that text and hit submit.

If the forum layout would ever change the bot would break and submit odd looking posts, until a developer updates it, which I have not seen a broken post. Even if Ford spent the money for something like this they would still need a real person to check that it didn't submit something stupid, risking bad pr.

No, I think it's a real person behind it with a bunch of common replies they copy which they then substitute to add your name and whatnot
You are probably right... I have worked with some ladder programs in the past and there is no way you were getting one to parse all this diverse information....

I was thinking it might have been an AI that was being trained. I have been starting to think some company worked a deal with Ford and started an "overwatched" training program for an AI... If you look at what some of the AIs are doing... They are parsing through more info than this.... I am not a software engineer so I really do not know where the outer bounds are right now, but it sure seems to be getting close to this.

Edit: Maybe if I had read the additional responses....... an AI could have done that really quick though..... I guess proving that I am not AI.... Hell some people question if I have any intelligence, artificial or natural....

I can see that, where the bot generates "potential responses" and then some intern or whoever, checks it and "approves" it, at that point the bot does the post for them.

Judgement day is closing in🤖

I haven't even taken my hatches off or windows out, have all the bags but man that's allot to drag around.
I just pulled all mine today because it's so nice out.
I just leave them in the garage, though. I only drive around like that if there is 0 chance of rain.

ETA: makes me a little jealous of the guys out west who can drive like that for months without worrying about it getting wet.

The back of mine is completely full of just bags! The windows bag fits perfectly on the cargo area floor. Two Costco collapsible crates sit on top of that. One with door bags and one with front hatches bag and gunners hatch bag. Good thing I don’t need any other room!

They're only talking about HELs, which I think we always expected to only be 2023-2024 models.
Thanks for clarifying. I updated my post. I read it too quickly initally.

Phuk Sake, the Ford Authority certainly is NOT one…the author totally missed the fact that the HLE is manually allocated like Braptors and not subject to order banks.
“Unfortunately for those that want to purchase a Heritage Limited, order banks for that limited-edition model closed late last year, meaning that they’ll have to search existing dealer inventory to find one.”

I think millennials named that site ironically 🤣

(I only missed being a millennial myself by 8 months...)
