Damn that's tempting but I think I have more use for a pickup truck
I'm in the same boat on this, but I am on the side of wanting the Ranger to grow in size which puts me in the minority it seems.
The difference between the mid size truck and full size is far greater than between any other mid size and full size vehicle. I would hope for
dimensions closer to at least an Edge vs Expedition. As of now, the Ranger is smaller inside than an Escape.
I'm still trying to convince myself a Bronco will work fine for me......and I can stretch to MY 2023 to make a decision if needed.

I thought Powerboost was the hybrid

I remember during the "Have you driven a Ford lately" era, after a Nascar race, Darrell Waltrip said he hadn't driven a Ford lately, but he sure had been chasing one.

Looking very RAV4'ish to me.

I hope this timing is closer to the truth than what we've been hearing since the virus started.

BORG has 2 (that I know of) well-placed sources.
His info on Ranger is right.
His info on Fusion Active (or "Fusion" as we'll likely know it) is wrong.... unless this decision is less than 48 hours old.
So NG Ranger is now MY 2024?

Well, it should be. They've been building the exact same truck for what, 10 years? They should have the bugs worked out by now!
Toyota trucks really aren't used as work trucks either.....which certainly would affect reliability.

The 2013 Escape and 2011 Explorer both finished dead last in these comparos also......just briefly looked at them.
I sense a certain thrill in the air with those posting these types of articles.

considering all the eco boost engines would benefit from catch cans...Im quite sure a minute amount of filter oil would do diddly squat...I empty my catch can every 5000 miles...and its quite staggering the amount that would be blown through the engine otherwise...maybe the issue is where the "oil" enters the system...but like Ive said...every Ford Ive ever owned ( and theres been a few ) has had a cold air installed along with the requisite K & N....never had any issues at all..
What type of catch can do you use? Make it yourself? I haven't put one on my truck, but it worries me not having it. Makes me wonder about getting another Ecoboost engine.....except one of the few that added port injection.

The article I read yesterday stated the mid level R1T(300 miles) will start at $69k; earlier reports said the R1S was $3k more.
There has been an article going around stating that the prices will be less than what Rivian originally said also.

Its nothing but cheap add-ons for appareance....ford reaps profit on such stuff and that adds to your ATP lust...its strong marketing by ford and it sales...the basic truck remains the same...heep has done it for decades as well...remove the add-ons and you still have a base heep in all respects..same applies for every model at ford..
Every car line ever made is like that......the more you pay the more you get!

If you looked closely-I'm talking about CY vs MY. If anything a late CY 2021 release isn't out of the cards, since the Bronco will hopefully be in production for almost a year then
Awesome. That's what I'm hoping for.......CY 2022 is pushing it to get my next vehicle.

Since its 2020, might as well update this:
CY 2020
2021 F-150 and F-150 Hybrid
2021 Bronco Family-Spring 2020 unveiling
- 4 Door Bronco-Late Fall/Early Winter (possible Job 1 Dec 7)
- 2 Door Bronco-Late Fall/Early Winter (possible Job 1 Dec 7)
- Baby Bronco-Summer/Fall 2020
2021 Mustang Refresh/hybrid?
Seems like I'm missing something here-the SD is technically a 2019 release since its in production already.
CY 2021
2021 Mustang Mach E-Spring release
2022 F-150 BEV
2022 Fusion Crossover-Spring/Summer 2021?
Baby Bronco\compact Pickup-Spring/Summer 2021?
Transit Connect refresh-Spring/Summer 2021? Hermosillo production starts
2022 Bronco Sport Trac/Pickup-Might be shown off during Bronco launch?
2022 Ranger?
Future Products past CY 2021
New Mustang on CD6
Mid sized CUV BEV for Lincoln and Ford
Rivan based SUV/Pickup For Lincoln and Ford, respectively
Small BEV based on VW platform (EU)
Edge and Nautilus replacements
"Affordable" Ford Product ?
So 2022 NG Ranger is still a good possibility?.....in lieu of 2023.

And the Cybertruck will be available in colors. Musk has confirmed black at a minimum.
I'm pretty sure the colors will be wraps.

I bought a 2019 Escape. 2.5 engine just to avoid the 3 cyl ECOTURD.
2019 Escape doesn't have a 3 cyl. Ecoboost.

According to Tesla’s website, the bed length is 6.5 feet. Of course, they call it a vault because it’s lockable. So no, it’s not as big as the bed of any truck. Some - yes. Any - no.
In my opinion, this is more of a Chevy Avalanche than a truck.
As big as any half ton super crew......no not as big a as any truck.
Sorry, you can get an 8" bed on a half ton super crew.

I stand corrected, of all the pictures of it that I've seen no box was shown. I just googled the pictures of it and some do show a box,
Still looks like a cub scout derby car. I'll stick with my F150
Oh I completely agree on the look...... definitely not for me.

OK, Why is this thing that looks like a cub scouts carved car called a truck ? If I'm hauling 4x8 plywood or drywall where would I put it. Is it a truck because of big tires? I can put big ass tires on my Mustag doesn't mean it's a truck, because it can tow? so can my Mustang who gives a shit.
You want an electric truck fine, make it a truck first, until then piss off
I feel so much better now.
It has as big of a bed as any truck......slightly larger if I'm not mistaken.

Might as well add another half millions superduty trucks..
According to a Ford statement, "a front seat belt pretensioner that deploys during a crash can generate excessive sparks. In some cases, this could ignite the carpet or carpet insulation in the area of the B-pillar. A fire in the B-pillar area may spread within the vehicle and increase the risk of injury."
Ford said there's been at least one report in the U.S. of a fire related to this condition but added that it is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to the problem.
The recalled trucks were built at Ford's Kentucky Truck Plant from Oct. 8, 2015, to Oct. 29, 2019.
They just had the same recall on the F-150

One item that I have to consider is overall length. There is no way I could fit a 232" F150 SCab/6.5' in my garage, without losing a lot of storage. So, since I have 2nd vehicle when I need seats, it's a choice between a 211" Ranger, or a 209" F150 Reg Cab/6.5' .
Or, like I've already had quoted, a F150 SCab shortened to fit the 5.5' box (which is available as a Raptor).
Sometimes, length matters,,,,,
HRG
I agree.....would love a supercab F-150 with a 5.5" box.....but don't need/can't afford a Raptor.

The Rivian truck is also more midsize than fullsize.
R1T (crew cab)
Length 217.1"
Width 79.3"
Height 71.5"
Wheelbase 135.8"
Bed Length 55.1"
Ranger (crew cab)
Length 210.8"
Width 73.3"
Height 71.8"
Wheelbase 126.8"
Bed Length 61"
F-150 (crew cab 5.5 ft bed - shortest configuration crew cab)
Length 231.9"
Width 79.9"
Height 77.2"
Wheelbase 145"
Bed Length 67.1"
And in case anyone is wondering... the R1S SUV is almost exactly the same size as Explorer.
I think the R1T is the sweet spot for size.....a few more inches in the bed wouldn't hurt though!

Last time I looked inventory was up around 40k, maybe a sign that Ford expects stronger sales next year....
I’m just happy that as Ranger sales go up, Colorado Sales seems to be collapsing... something like 8900 last month.
This is probably not the Ranger to fully match Tacoma sales but if Ford can get up around 12k to 15k sales a month, then that probably sets up the next generation Ranger in two years time. I love watching this, Ford reclaiming it’s place in midsized trucks.
So the new Ranger will be a '22 MY?
7.3L V8 Godzilla now available as crate engine.

Did you receive a recall for the reprogramming on your Escape?
We have a 2017 2.0 Escape also.....don't remember getting anything on this.....don't want to miss anything.
