and Ranger pickup

quote:

Ford announced on Monday at the Detroit Auto Show that it will launch a new Ranger small pickup in 2019, followed by a Bronco SUV based on it in 2020. The news comes several months after the plans were unofficially revealed through comments made by UAW workers who will be building the trucks at Ford’s Michigan assembly plant -- home to the original Bronco from 1966-1986.
quote:

The factory was at the center of controversy recently when President-elect Donald Trump criticized Ford for moving production of its Focus cars built there today to a new facility the automaker planned to build in Mexico. Ford has since decided to scrap the new plant, and will instead expand an existing one in Mexico to accommodate the Focus production.

The Ranger was last offered in the U.S. in 2011, but a new version of it has been sold overseas ever since. The Bronco was put out to pasture in 1996, two years after one took part in the infamous O.J. Simpson low speed police pursuit through Los Angeles.

Ford didn’t offer any technical details or images of the vehicles, but suggested that the Bronco will offer serious off road capability.

I'm gonna get the Interstate 405 package.


Comes with bullet proof windows, no-pop tires, concealed carry hide, re-enforced steel frame and a beautiful pearlescent "innocence white" paint job.

If it's based off of a small sized pickup frame that is a huge cocktease.

Needs to have a v8 and ecoboost f150 platform.

There were a lot of skeptics of the mid sized truck market when GM reintroduced a Chevy Colorado and Canyon, but they've been a hot seller along with the Tacoma. Ford responded quickly and I hope Chrysler/Ram makes a move as well.

If we are honest, most of us only need a mid sized truck.

They'll figure out a way to turn it into a soccer mom car like they did to the Jeep Wrangler

I hope they bring the ranger back as a true compact truck and not one of these midsize jobs that cost nearly as much as a full size.

Please god let the bronco look like the concept photos from 10 years ag(or however damn long ago they came out). That concept is beautiful and it's been long enough that it would actually look good on the road exactly as it was shown in the concept photos.

I don't know why the chose THAT picture of the Bronco (a concept from 2004) when the new one is based on the new Ranger.
