However, suspension is a different matter altogether. The Mach-E is listed as a multi-link (like Expedition and Explorer), and the E-Transit is listed as semi trailing arm, and rated at a targeted 6,000 pounds of capacity. Obviously, they may share the drive motor, but not the suspension.
It’s interesting that Car and Driver shows the Mach-E as having a 9.05 final drive ratio, and since the E-Transit will be much heavier and with a much lower required top speed than the Mustang, the final drive on Transit will probably be geared even lower than 9.05. Those electric motors do spin well over 10,000 RPM.  |
Er yup: IRS not IFS LOL.
