I've rented a Gladiator before, it was even a manual. I really liked it. I would buy one of those over a Ranger any day. Hopefully, a Bronco pickup is in the pipeline.

I'm glad that's not coming to NA.

They sell a Maverick competitor in Mexico right now. https://www.ram.com.mx/modelos/ram-700-laramie-2021/modelo3D

Even if you go to an aluminum block with a shorter deck height, at best you're looking at weight parity with the Coyote, so that just seems like a wash.
A 6.8 would also be a lot simpler and probably cheaper to make than a Coyote. Being pushrod, things like cylinder deactivation is easier as well. A 6.8 hybrid in a Super Duty would make a lot of sense.

An all-electric Thunderbird that beats a Corvette on every measurable performance stat would be pretty cool.

Here’s a full view of it. Looks pretty bad
Maybe it's a cleverly disguised TC mule?

Now that the Maverick has been introduced, when will we start seeing the V758 TC mules running around? I would love to see the TC renamed as Econoline, especially if it's NA only.

This will probably replace the Escapes & Fusions our salespeople currently use. Between the MPG's, standard CarPlay, and price, it can't be beat.

Uh the Aerostar, which was a Ranger with a funny looking cab on it? Ford never has done well in the Minivan market...they've had huge issues with them since Windstar came out with issues with the 3.8L V6 and other things rotting out on them.
Other products have gone away because of market changes/tastes.
The Aerostar was actually unibody and didn't use many Ranger parts at all other than the powertrain. I had an extended length with a 4.0L V6 for a short time in the late 90's, it was a nice little van.

It looks pretty small, like a Kia Soul size car.

It could possibly be a removable hitch like this: https://stealthhitches.com/products/hyundai-hitch-shr62001

Being able to move that heavy beast on electricity alone is impressive. The real question of course will be range, payload capacity, and just general usability.
Will be really cool to see how it shapes up.In the past, Ford said it would be the fastest, most powerful, most payload & most towing capacity F150 ever. If they can get the range to around 300 miles, that would be perfect for me.

This is interesting news, and makes some sense of some other moves like the VW Caddy one.
I wonder if it inches closer to MB Metris in dimension if it's no longer tied to the Euro sizing.
I sure hope it does. The TC could grow to Metris size and still be viable for its current market. Especially if different wheelbase & roof heights are offered.
That could also give Ford a possible AWD Minivan. That could be pretty popular with the #VanLife people.

It’s possible these were migrant workers not illegals.It appears the SUV was filled with people that crossed the border illegally through a hole on the fence. I also read that the middle & rear seats were removed. I guess that's how they fit so many people in it. Very sad situation. https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/03/us/imperial-california-crash-wednesday/index.html

Probably keeping the cost down on the FWD version.
And probably increases the payload.

I had a Uhaul rental with the V10 (that they told us not to drive out of state...we went to NJ to NC for work LOL) and it ate gas...but I was driving it like my Mustang, since I wasn't paying for gas. It was a good motor from what I remember with a load of 20+ PC Workstations plus the protective boxes for them.
My old motor home had the V10. It was surprisingly responsive, but would only get 6 mpg when going over 65 mph. Not bad for an 8’ wide, 12’ tall, 35’ long brick that weighed about 18,000 pounds. -

Don't bet on that ! My guess is that it is a 2V !
Motorhome people only have 2 issues with them. They are loud, because the engine has to rev up to make power and the fuel economy is not great.
The F59's got 3V V10's from 2005 on.

I recall Automobile Magazine had a piece by Robert Cumberford who proposed this way back and might have shown his sketch. Maybe that helps!
I found this by searching his name:

I remember a conceptual drawing from the early 2000's that showed a Crown Victoria sedan based on an F150 chassis...looked really interesting, but it never got any further than a drawing board.
I'd love to see that.

It's a Brazilian thing, they have been doing that for years. The 1959 Ford F-100 sedans and 1961 Chevy C-10 sedans actually looked kind of good. Kind of....

I would really love to see a 5.0L V8 option. The Explorer is the only RWD based SUV in this class that doesn't offer a V8 option. The 3.0EB ST is great, but an XLT or Limited with a Coyote would be amazing.

We don't even really know that, it's just kind of assumedGood point, but I'm willing to be a Bell's Two Hearted Ale that it is.

I’d settle for a 6.0l v12 ecoboost in a Raptor. 8.5l v10 would work also. I don’t see the point of a smaller displacement v8 off of the 7.3. Just use the 7.3 and be done with it, unless the 6.8l is some high-revving monster. The 410 cu in rousch Yates v8 in the hoonicorn revs to 8600rpm and makes 1400hp.....that could work in the raptor.
Not much is known about the new 6.8L V8 other than it's 7.3L Godzilla based. It could have an aluminum block, direct injection, built for boost, etc. I can't wait to learn more about it.

I would be very nervous about adding that much power to an engine without doing anything to the bottom end....
I think they want to test the limit before they crack it open. 1100HP with a stock bottom end without blowing up is pretty awesome. And it sounded fantastic as well!

A friend of mine just bought one, it's a good-looking car.
