I know we'll find out soon, but does anyone have an idea of general size. On another site, a guy said he saw it covered up and it looked Edge sized, and I saw an article that calls it a compact CUV??

As much as I like the Rivian, it is as much a truck as a Honda Fridgeline. I’d really call it a “lifestyle vehicle.” The Bollinger B2, otoh, is actually a truck. Let me know when that Rivian can haul 8ft sheet goods.
The Rivian will be much more capable and larger than a Ridgeline.

Ford's own website calls it a 2021, which is significant since for the longest time it said 2020 until they took the date off of it entirely.
So are we safe to assume the new Ranger will be MY 2022?

The funny part is they seem to like the FWD based Corsair even better than the RWD 400+ HP Aviator. Seems backwards for rags like C&D and MT.
Motortrend wasn't very kind to the Explorer in their Explorer/Palisades comparo today either. I don't get it!!

exactly. I really like the features of the ridgeline. The dual action tailgate is cool. I like the idea of bed speakers but not sure if I’d buy it or not. The bed trunk seems like it could be useful too. But the looks of the thing are terrible which is enough to keep me from even considering it. I wish ford was as innovative with the ranger as Honda was with the ridgeline though.It does have a lot of cool features.....and I like how wide it is. I don't think I could ever buy one either, but I think a new fascia would make it look tons better!

If you read it closely that's not what it actually said. It said only 27% would ONLY consider buying a Ford and nothing else. Doesn't mean the other 73% wouldn't buy another Ford.
Lies, damn lies and statistics.
Which shows who the real fan boys are.....Ford truck owners will buy the best truck, Toyota owners will buy Yota no matter what.....which there is a lot of no matter what IMO.

Not sure if it’s the camera, but that thing looks much longer than the current model.
I'm sure they went a few inches longer since Chevy did. They don't need to be any bigger.

Except this vehicle’s job is done in two years time and will be no more, it’s a place holder to get buyers used to the prices charged for a crew cab Ranger, a point often missed in these discussions
Strategically, this was all about replacing Focus production, until just under three years ago Ford didn’t give a crap about mid-size trucks
I may have missed this in a discussion, but will the next Ranger probably debut after the Bronco?

I'm sure Fields won't be so kind to Ford when he testifies.

They are on the current ones (13th gen). They were not the same on the 04-08 11th gen.
True.....and that is what I meant. I was speaking more of the Supercrew since that is what I have.....but driving dynamics are quite different between what I have now and the 05 I used to have. Tight parking or a parking deck means taking my wife's car if at all possible.....that's the part I don't like. Offering the Supercab with the 5.5' box again would be better.....but maybe to much to ask. I understand this way there are less combinations of materials needed.

Only on the Supercrews (6 inches in wheelbase, 8 in length). Regular cabs are actually shorter and Supercabs are the same.
The Supercabs are identical in wheelbase and length as the Supercrews.

People think the older F100s and F150s were a lot smaller but they're really not that much smaller than the current F150.
I agree.....no way the Ranger is close to older F150, but the F150 has grown recently. The new truck is 8 inches longer in wheelbase and length than the 04-08 truck. To me, it negatively affects the drivability......but it looks like I'm in the minority on this. I do wish they would offer the SC with the 5'6" bed again......other than the Raptor.

Sure, maybe in a straight line.. let's see a Tesla on the track and compare.
While not exactly a track time, the Model 3 matches the GT-350 on the MT figure 8 on time with a slightly better avg G......and weighing approximately 500 lbs more. I'm certainly not a Tesla fan boy, but Blue Oval all the way. I am impressed with what Tesla has accomplished to this point, even though I don't agree with the tax credits on EV's. However, I think that will bite Tesla now they they are running out of credits, and now all other manufacturers will have plenty of credits left. Even Henry Ford had struggles and failures when he started, but it didn't take long after he actually started FMC to become profitable........but at that point he was the only game in town too.

The Escape hybrid is available with AWD. The PHEV is FWD only.
I forgot about that......should do well. I certainly like it much better than the RAV4.

Nobody is buying one vs. the other because it gets 39 vs. 40 vs. 41 mpg.
The RAV4 is AWD though.......so Escape needs to beat it.

Anyone else remember the 70's F100 Ranger??
And the F-100 Explorer Edition trucks

I think the majority of Tacoma buyers want a Tacoma not a full sized Tundra just like many Ranger buyers want a Ranger not a F150. Or they're loyal Toyota buyers who won't consider another brand. Conquest sales are always good but they come from all brands and all types of vehicles.
I completely agree. While the F-150 has gotten bigger than I like, after looking at the Ranger it isn't an option. I'm sure the next Ranger will get a little bigger, but never enough to make it an option.......and there are plenty of people who look at it just the opposite......no way one truck will cover all bases.

Only 280 HP is a deal breaker! Very disappointing as it looks amazing otherwise.
Pretty far above all of the competition.

Just read an Autoblog article and it looks like the Escape is 2.4" longer and gained 3.5 cubic feet behind the second row......couldn't find anything on the width yet.

There are currently 3 versions - longitudinal (mustang/explorer), transverse std output (Corsair, etc.), transverse HO (Focus RS).
Just curious, have any of the I4 Ecoboost engines added PFI yet?

Loved the 04-08 model. Definitely the favorite of all of the trucks I have had. would be awesome with 18+ EB drive train.

...because it sounds to a lot of folks like an old jalopy -- like a "Model T"
Same reason naming the new Lincoln MKC the "Corsair" might not be the best thing (though it doesn't bother me). To some, it sounds too much like Corvair.
I was thinking about advertising from the Model T to the Model E.....ahhh maybe that's corny.

They did that already-Ford has the trademark for the Model E name-thus why its called the Model 3.
I know....so why won't they use Model E.....instead of Mach E....or Mach 1

Only with the 202A package
That would be another $4205 without the sunroof that would be on the XLT. It's fine.....I'll be one of 5% in lost sales.....lol

I'm thinking Elon couldn't handle another high volume product right now.......or something along those lines. He's already said if enough people didn't want it, he'd go a different direction. This will certainly buy him some time.....lol.
I'm a Tesla fan, not a fanboy, and I'm disappointed.
