I dont doubt it at all, and maybe the Tacomas just blend in a lot more and I over look them, but I mainly see white regular cab f150s. I hope there is big demand for them as that would ensure the smaller truck size I want lives on.
-
sevenseconds.oh yes they will....but most likely for company vehicles...gardeners, Pool service...everything you see base Tacomas doing...EVERYWHERE,,moreso come 2020 when I have notion after the re-do that the truck will have more than one drivetrain.
Ive never seen a Tacoma used as a fleet vehicle. When the old ranger went away, everyone just switched to f150s around here. I dont know how fleet vehicles are priced but theres a 3k difference msrp between the xl ranger and the xl f150 . With incentives, that difference might be even smaller. I wonder if companies have grown accustomed to the larger size of the f150 and would find it harder to go down in size for a similar price?

Id like to see the sport appearance package as a stand alone option. A base lariat with sport appearance package for around $36k seems like a decent deal, but instead I have to add $2k worth of stuff I dont need.
-
How you gonna call it active and not include awd?
-
The new Edge is the same way.
I can see not wanting to mess with the explorer too much since it sells well, but each generation of edge has been evolutionary. This was an opportunity to shake things up and try to move up the midsize cuv ladder.

Maybe the changes will become more obvious when its not camoed or in police trim. I think the aviator looks amazing so my hopes were high for the explorer to look equally as good. Its still a nice looking vehicle regardless.

seems silly to completely redesign a vehicle, but then make it look the same as a vehicle that came out in 2011. Besides the grill, I dont think the average person will notice the difference. Hell, I have a hard time seeing any difference besides the grill and the sloping roof line without seeing a picture of them side by side.
That grill just doesnt look finished. id hope that is a police only version. At least it doesnt have a floating roof. Wish there were some pics of the interior
-
when you say mondeo based utility, do you mean like a fusion active or another cuv like the edge?
Id still like to see the Everest come here too.
-
I kinda like the hood, but I think the Bullitt looks better overall
-
Dumb question, but what model comes with the 2 lcd screens in the instrument panel like the edge, explorer, and fusion have? I initially thought it would come on any model with sync 3, but I looked at the standard equipment and the xl comes with a 3.5 screen in the ip, xlt comes with a 4.2, and the lariat comes with two 4.2 screens. The 301a package on the xlt is the one that includes sync 3. I read that packages description and it only shows one 4.2 screen in the ip. Fx4 versions state that is has an off-road screen in the cluster which makes me think thats only one screen as well. Sounds like the two screens in the ip might be exclusive to lariat which is a bummer because I use that all the time to control the radio and air conditioner in my fusion.

My biggest issue with the price is like fuzzy said, you dont get much. Even the Colorado comes standard with a touchscreen on the WT. you cant get one on an xl. And its part of a $995 option on the xlt. Sport appearance package requires at least 301a. It does come with copilot 360 that the other brands dont so I guess that offsets some of the difference.
If you look at other midsize trucks, they arent really offering any rebates. If that holds true for the ranger then you could possibly have f150s with 10k off msrp almost Selling for the same price as the ranger.
I might be in the minority here, but Im cross shopping the ranger vs compact SUVs and you get a lot more bang for your buck with lets say an escape titanium. Id like to have a truck but I can do 90% of what it can do in a small suv. If I can get a vehicle that is loaded and only slightly smaller in size, and can do 90% of what Id do in a truck that also saves me thousands of dollars, Ill pick it over a pretty bare ranger every time.

Anthony...nothings cheap anymore...and this pricing leads me to believe the upcoming Bronco will be ( loaded again ) 50k plus.
Baby bronco will problem be $30k at least too
-
XL 4 door with 101a, sport appearance package, trailer package, spray in bed liner and black running boards for just over $32k seems pretty pricey. A similarly equipped Colorado WT is about $29.5
-
Build and price is back up
-
Theres also supposed to be a new vehicle at Woodward as well. Rumors are that one is supposed to be a mustang variant.
-
Wish I took a screenshot of the xlt I built, but the magnetic color with the grey trim and wheels of the sport appearance package looked really good together.
-
The photo of the XL from the configurator shows it has raised suspension. So looks like Ford won't be selling the low riding Ranger (like Tacoma SR) at all in the US market. All the Rangers will have raised suspension including the 2WD model.
I built an xlt and one of the rear wheels was missing from the picture. You could see the axle but no wheel.
-
Supercrew xl fx4 stx with towing package was around $37k. Thats definitely more than I was wanting to spend.
I tried optioning out a 4x2 supercrew lariat with just the sport appearance package, but it required the 501a package as well which was like $2800.
The math on some of the packages didnt add up either. One package on the xlt came with sport appearance package, remote start, manual sliding rear window and power heated passenger and driver seats for $2800. Optioned individually, they are:
Remote start - $195
Sport appearance -$795
Manual rear window -$225
That means the power seats are almost $1600? Seems a bit high.

Courier makes me think of a mailman. Id actually use the Maverick name on the little truck, then Id rename the baby bronco the Ford Recon

Quote from the article:
The 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 would have been a worthy replacement in the U.S. But now it seems the truck and a gasoline engine are unlikely to make it stateside. Ford has yet to confirm if the U.S. will get the pickup. And it sounds like the plan from the beginning was to keep the Ranger Raptor in other markets.
Article seems to think this ranger raptor wont even make it to the US

The New Escape is a little bigger than the current one, and the Baby Bronco/Maverick is going to be slightly smaller than the current Escape, but packaged better so the back seat isnt quite as cramped.
Thats good to hear

I'm not sure how Bronco is going to be ready by 2020 but Ford is not showing it off internally yet and we don't have mules or prototypes yet unless the Everest are the mules. I suspect we won't see it in production until the 2020CY as a 2021MY like the Mach1 but I hope it's a little shorter than that. I think the MAP folks might know the schedule for production a bit better. I don't know anybody who has actually seen it besides the draped version but everybody has seen Explorer, Escape, Maverick, Mach1. Lincoln has been showing stuff off to it's people as well, I have only seen the Corsair and Production Aviator (think I prefer Explorer ST). Maverick is in mule state right now, it's actually built from the new global Fiesta bodies which is a little confusing if it's a C-platform..but it does have characteristics of the C-Platfrom like 5-lug wheels and a wider/longer track.
Corsair is really sharp, very Germanic and Mercedes-like with the arching belt-line that flattens toward the back instead of kicking up. The back looks like an Audi Q7, wider and lower than before but with Lincolns softer lines. The taillights are in the correct orientation this time (like Aviator and Navigator) but still floating in the middle of the hatch instead of terminating at the edges like the Audi. Aviator might be a little too...simple. Like Continental and Navigator it will be stunning in full trim but maybe not the most alluring piece of design by itself. I think Corsair looks great no matter what, they were a little more clever I think.
So if you have seen the maverick, can you describe what it looks like? Does it look like the drawing that came out? Will it be escape sized or smaller or larger? Id ideally like to get the bronco but I have a feeling it will be priced more than what I want to spend. I dont want to get a ranger if a completely new one is coming out in just a few years, which leaves the maverick.

I hate all Chevy SUVs, but at least in RS trim, this looks very good. Im a die hard ford guy so it pains me to say that. I like blacked out vehicles so maybe that is what appeals to me, along with the aggressive looks. The only thing I dont like is the floating roof. Wonder if the RS will be priced similar to an edge ST?

The Tacoma sells twice as much as the Colorado. The Colorado sells about the same as the frontier. The ranger is a better truck all around then both of those and looks better as well. I like the Tacoma styling but the ranger looks much more refined when you see pics of them next to each other.
Id imagine it will sell right up there with Tacoma
