Real question is THIS the base the are using to make the bronco ?

Are we going to see the same front end and power options on the Bronco? If so, then to me that is a Bronco II. DO Not Want

A whole 2’? The horror.

I had a Sport Trac for years and it was great. I could haul a full size sheet of plywood with the bed extender down.

My Frontier is wider and a little longer. Can fit a full size sheet of plywood without the bed extender, and with it I can carry 12’ lumber. Hell my kayak is 11’8” and it will fit without additional support. I bought one of those hitch extenders from Harbor Frieght just to give the bow a little support riding down the interstate, but I’ve hauled it before just resting on the tailgate and strapped down.

I’ve pulled trailers with it with no problem and it cost about $25k less than a Titan or F-150. Very happy with the purchase.

Lolwut? That picture is nowhere near the same size

Almost a 2 foot difference in both of those measurements




The new Ranger will be 211" in length. The current F150 starts at 209" in it's base model.

Damn TH. I love the F-150s. I’d happily drive one.

But for me, there’s a difference between $24,500 and $52,000. Full size truck prices are insane right now and I just can’t justify the need to spend roughly double for a little more truck. And I don’t fault people that think the same.

That's the only option we are going to get here in the US. Ford won't be selling the two door here.

BTW a mid 90s F-150 started at 197".

I don't want an SUV I want a small pickup with an open bed.
part of the reason used compact trucks are so expensive is that they aren't being made for utilitarian use anymore

I just prefer a full sized truck with a kid. The modern super crews are just so damn comfortable. I have friends that have Tacos and they are not comparable as far as comfort imo.

Depending on your requirements a full sized screw can be bought for around 30k. If you require leather, navigation, moon roof etc than yes, you'll pay more.

I can understand that.


But this is the OT, we pay $52k in cash for our trucks and finance the biggest set of truck nuts you can buy.

Good size. Good styling. That chassis and body would make a decent SUV too.

I am leaning toward a Canyon with the Duramax Diesel. It's astounding what they charge for that particular setup though.

I bought a new super crew XLT F150 in October. I paid around 31k. The 50k price tags are the higher end models. You can ignore the sticker price. Mine was 42-43k sticker.

Trucks that size are all 99% of truck owners need
99% is a little high. However it will not be able to tow a large travel trailer. It does appear that the towing capacity will be north of 7700 pounds. 2019 ford ranger review and specs which is good for a little truck.

Damn that's pretty good. Also if one is pulling a large travel trailer they are probably looking at buying a 250 not 150.
