Definitely a Mary Kay car originally.

This is the reason the Tacoma no longer comes with access doors on the smaller cab. They couldn't meet safety standards without significant material and weight increases... I would highly expect the next gen F-150 to lose that style door as well.
At least on the F150 you can order the longer bed on the crew cab. Just won't fit in the garage. -

You got it! If I could get an F600 in a crew cab lariat, I'd get that! 😄
This camper is what's going on the back of it.
No more fifth wheel? -

I'm about to put my order in. Mine will be an F550 Lariat.
First time ordering a C&C, lots of different (and missing) options from the pickups.
Go big or go home! -

There was a T6 Super Crew long bed mule running around Detroit in 2023, Nissan Frontier makes a US market Crew Cab Long bed in SV and Dark Armor trims
That looks 100 times better and is 10 times more useful.

You missed his point. At its price range, it's competing with both the RX and the X5.
He's arguing that switching to RWD will help it better compete with the X5 side of the equation at the price point they're charging.
My point is it's already competitive with Lexus. X5 is far higher when comparably equipped but with the better powertrain. I agree the new one will go toe to toe with X5. -

Huh?
The Black Label hybrid STARTS at 80k....
I got to $91k MSRP without adding dealer accessories.....
And I'm sure the 2027 model will be more.
Lexus has no black label equivalent as far as I can tell. Comparably equipped they're virtually the same price. -
$66k for a 222 mile range? Non-starter.

I thought these years were already addressed.

Ford apparently has it working in the Bronco Basecamp-it has a 1.5L I4 EREV in it.
I think the bigger issue here is how well it is going to work when it comes to towing, which is going to be the big issue with a truck.
I should clarify. I know it will operate as intended. I just don't think buyers will buy it. -

My biggest issue with the Nautilus is that it directly competes with the Lexus RX, yet its pricing can reach very nice BMW X5 money. Potentially going on the CD6 platform can help justify the pricing if they of course invest in better powertrains, etc.
Where do you guys make up this stuff?
RX is $53k - $73k. Nautilus is $53k - $77k.

This current gen Nautilus should’ve always have been on CD6. Not sure why it wasn’t.
It was planned for both edge and nautilus but the business case fell through. -

Nope - I moved it.-

My guess on Nautilus is that it'll become CD6 twin of the Mustang Mach-E/Edge ICE crossover
No-brainer -

Yeah, I remember sitting in Ranger and Maverick at auto shows, and the cabs felt pretty similar space wise, especially in the rear seat. So from that perspective, you're looking at a capability upgrade between the two, not so much cab room/features.
Should have e clarified I was talking about exterior dimensions.-

Escape and Corsair were built in the same factory with the same suppliers. Edge and Nautilus weren't even built in the same continent.

I forget what I was watching the other day, but I saw a Ford ad playing up their improved quality. Heck, it’s the only Ford commercial I’ve seen recently—apparently, the channels I watch are popular with the old folks, ‘cause mostly what I see are Medicare Advantage commercials and AI slop targeting old folks for auto insurance and home warranties. (I swear, the old folks auto insurance commercials are bad—one “old lady” is saying she only drives to the grocery store, but none of the “people” in the background are at all surprised to see her parking in the produce section…)
I love the Carshield commercials with Ice-T and other b list celebrities. Don't get blindsided with a $2000 repair. Pay us $4000 and we'll take care of it!-

I made this rack system for my 2020 Ranger for hauling 4x8 plywood. I've also hauled 2"x6"x10' lumber with it. It's not ideal for 10' dimensional lumber but it works. I used clamps to keep the lumber from moving.
Oh I could make it work but why bother when my 2018 f150 only has 47k miles.-

My ex's father bought a new 2019 Ranger with the super cab and longer bed and he loved it. I do remember he had a hard time finding one though every dealership only had the crew cab. He ended up buying one from the largest Ford dealer in the Tampa area and it had I think at the time 100 Rangers on the lot and only 6 were super cabs the rest were all crew cabs. The sales person was pushing him hard into a crew cab too and he kept telling them he didn't want a crew cab he worked solo and didn't need the back seat room he needed the bed room.
There were only two f150 xlt 2wd supercabs in the colors I wanted within 150 miles of Atlanta and both were at the same dealership with different wheels. -
I'm still not convinced these EREVs are going to work.

I am disappointed in the lack of extended cab pickups with longer boxes. The Ranger would suit me if they had such a thing. Even the F150 lacks that configuration in any model above an XLT. The XLT is fine except you can't get an XLT Supercab with the higher trim package. I guess they have concluded the only people would would want a Supercab just needs a basic truck. I am glad I got one of the last F150 Lariat Supercabs. I really would be happy with a Ranger due to the size, maneuverability, and ease of parking but that little box makes it useless to me for hauling what I need to.
Had a platinum F150 supercab been available in 2018 I probably would have bought it. At the time due to incentives a Lariat supercab was $10k more than a loaded XLT and I couldn't justify the cost difference for leather seats, auto hvac and a garage door opener. Was looking at a new Ranger when they discontinued the supercab so I just kept my f150. I frequently haul 10ft lumber so a 6' minimum bed is a must.I'd love to see if the Fathom midgate would allow hauling 10 ft boards. Or something on the new f100.

To me Ranger always felt like it needed more hip and shoulder room
For me it's the stubby bed. The supercab looked way better with the longer bed.

Our neighbor and good friend sells Mary Kay. I tease her about pink cars all the time.
