I'd hardly call the North American market regional or isolated. It made Chrysler a lot of money over the years
-
Meanwhile Hyundai execs are slapping themselves for not registering that name when they had the chance.

Where did you see that?
One of hundreds of aftermarket options available from.the factory or dealer.

With this a half step down and the Venza a half step up from the RAV, plus the CHR and Highlander, I see Toyota crowding their own showroom.

The 2.3 only has 310 hp in the Mustang. The Ranger only has 270, right? So, the 2.7 would provide significantly more hp. Akirby has already mentioned the torque difference.
1988 460 was only rated at a little over 200hp and I guaran-fricking-tee it will out haul a 2.3 any day of the week.
Quoting 4000rpm HP numbers as an end-all, be-all is really naive and shows an unfamiliarity with trucks.

I'd rather see the GT500 powerplant in a Lightning.

Maybe the exhaust is re-routed on the AWD, with a slightly longer bumper to accommodate.

Congratulations, Nissan. You designed a Hyundai.

They will find out what Tesla did.
You still need to manufacture the vehicle. Building 500,000+ vehicles takes a lot more than promises, threats, chest thumping and stock market ponzi schemes.

You guys/they are seeing letters that aren't there.
The "E" that is beeing "seen" is just a reflection of the surroundings that happens to look like an E and is not really there. You can see the same effect on the right of the N. Ford doesn't put their letters that close.
We're just seeing a Platinum trim, and you're only seeing the N.
Look at how Ford spaces out the lettering on the current Platinum for reference:
Notice how the N is in roughly the same position below the (wider on the new model) tailgate latch area:
You can also tell it's a higher-end truck with the full LED taillights.
Reflections would show a backwards N and E. Those are not backwards and not a reflection.
As far as the letter spacing, we dont know what it will be. New truck. New styling elements.

I guess you don't have a family.
Sell your home? Take your kids out of school? Make your spouse quit her/his job? Leave the very desirable San Fransisco area? Just so you can follow Elon to Nevada or Texas? Really? You would do this?
People have been moving for work for hundreds of years.

That should please Wall Street.

If anything, Ford started it by being the first one to offer the tailgate step.
I've see exactly one of those on the road. I don't see that being a solution to much.
the tailgate lift assist with the 2004 model and the tailgate lock in 1997.
This "war" is competitors catching up.

Funny thing is, this is what Fields was planning for. It was just 2 years late from his prediction.

Toyota trucks really aren't used as work trucks either.....which certainly would affect reliability.
Just like most F150s, Rams, Silverados...

You're forgetting one major thing. Those profits from the Titian and Tundra, don't stay in the US. I have no idea where Ram goes. Titan and Tundra are both bottom of the barrel as far as being competitive. The only redeeming factor for Toyota is you get the quality (real or perceived) of Toyota. The Titan is the value pick. Neither sell well.
Profits go to shareholders, whom live all over the world, including the US.
That also applies to parts manufacturers. Well, except the Chinese parts manufacturers that Ford, GM and Fiat like to buy from.

Looks like a Hyundai or Kia concept

The one thing that is catching my eye is the C pillar angle...seems weird for some reason.
A little to sloped with the squareness of the truck.

Change the name to Gladiator Overpriced.

Not sure how they do that without the tooling and equipment to do so.

Apparently the banks also watched the Bronco launch.
