Maverick prototype reveals IRS


Recommended Posts

Just for reference, Hermosillo started building 41 pre-production Bronco Sport back in February 2020,

so it could be well after mid year before Ford hits the go button on production job one.

Agreed but nothing much will happen until Ford announces the vehicle officially and releases the production timetable for the ordering, scheduling and the Job #1 Date.

Let's just take a moment to think about that Ford will have an all-new Maverick, Ranger, and F-150 in less than two years. Maybe the updated/all-new Super Duty in there as well. 

 

Ford will have truck market covered from small to large with the newest models compared to every competitor.

Good points.  

.......... And maybe a new Cargo / and L series?   I know,  not likely.

Correct,

I was just saying that the plant makes preproduction vehicles 9-12 months in front of any launch. Nothing announced yet so a mid year launch is highly unlikely.

The Bronco Sport was supposed to be a late summer launch too...till COVID hit. Didn't come til year end then.

That initial late summer launch was still 7-8 months after the first pre-production units were built.

The telling part is that Ford still hasn't announced the Maverick, something we've been waiting for.

That's kind of odd......

Back in 2018 they where expecting a 2019 launch as a 2020

https://www.broncosportforum.com/forum/threads/bronco-sport-now-in-dealer-system-revealing-trims-colors-packages-options-engines-transmission.1042/

The BS was in the Ford ordering system back last March...right before COVID hit

We also knew about the BS back in 2018 from the leaks at the Ford meeting when they where planning to kill off cars. 

IIRC if we didn't have COVID, the Bronco Sport would have been on dealer lots in August of last year and the Bronco would have been in Production already by now, since Dec 7th was the date getting kicked around for that

The T6 Bronco delivery date of December 2020 was set in 2016, the only time it changed was 2020 with COVID.

 

The reason that Bronco Sport info was out early was to build hype around the Bronco family,  I’m still surprised that nothing has been said officially about Maverick, grass roots information is one thing but Ford should at least be saying something by now....

Or maybe Farley is reevaluating production plans for Hermosillo after he whacked Brazil. 

 

I read on FA that Hermosillo could also get Transit Connect, which I always thought made a lot of sense - but instead they went for a 3rd party production in Uruguay...

El trato con VW que suministrará el próximo TC obviamente cambia lo que se debe hacer para América del Sur, el uso de un tercero para construir el TC es interesante ........

algo anda mal aquí, en Uruguay el Transit se va a fabricar con un tercero (Nordex), y la conexión de tránsito se va a construir en México (según Auto News)

It probably land between Transit Connect LWB and Ranger 

 

Transit Connect LWB 

GVWR: 5,300 lbs

Payload: 1,550 lbs

Towing: 2,000 lbs

 

Ranger Crew Cab 4x2

GVWR: 6,050 lbs

Payload: 1,860 lbs (1,650 lbs for 4x4)

Towing: 7,500 lbs

 

Just guessing...

Maverick FWD

GVWR: 5,500 lbs

Payload: 1,600 lbs (1,450 lbs for AWD)

Towing: 3,500 lbs (same as Escape) or 4,500 lbs with tow package

And yet the 2.0 BS is only rated at 2200# with the Tow package,,,

I'm assuming that is dealing with suspension changes on the BS...lots of bellyaching on the Bronco about the same thing.

If you need to tow something get the Maverick or Ranger instead..that is why Ford rates its car based products in the US so low vs the EU

Those numbers would be ideal!  4500lbs with tow would be a game changer.  That’s a good sized boat or utility trailer.
