Interesting....hard to really tell but I did notice that they had the hang down strips camo to make it difficult to see what's going on back there. Wondering if it will get a Raptor like setup in back without leaf springs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondering if it will get a Raptor like setup in back without leaf springs? Well, we know at least the next-gen Raptor will get coils. Not sure if it is all Rangers though. https://fordauthority.com/2021/02/2023-ford-ranger-raptor-rear-coil-spring-suspension-confirmed/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeluxeStang Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 (edited) I'm digging it, it's obviously hard to pass judgement on the final design, but the design mockup of it that's been circulating for years looks awesome.

jcartwright99 Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 (edited) I've got a year or so left before it's time to look for a Fusion replacement. 83k now but don't want to keep past 125k. My predicament is that Ford has a few appealing products in my price range and the NG Ranger (if pricing is similar to current pricing) is one of them. The Maverick, BS, and Bronco are the others. The thing is I really want a hybrid/4wd/awd as my next vehicle. Which one of these will get a powerboost first? I know the Maverick won't have one in the first year. My hope is the Ranger gets one. I really like the thought of a Ranger hybrid but who knows if that is just a dream? Edited September 9, 2021 by jcartwright99 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will have a max output of 362 hp and 501 lb ft of twist. Should be quite beastly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bzcat Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Ford is going to bring out the big guns for the next Ranger. They have Toyota firmly in the crosshair... they want to take down the Hilux and Tacoma like how Yaris is destroying Fiesta right now in Europe. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blksn8k2 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Has anyone seen any info on the next Gen Ranger's body components, as in how much steel vs aluminum? At the very least I would expect something similar to the Bronco with most of the bolt-on body parts (doors, hood, etc.) being AL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One example is gasoline for North America and diesel for ROW. At some point, hybrid will arrive and grab sales in both markets. Loving the squarer filled out profile of the new Ranger, it should go a long way towards converting a lot of fence sitters driving mid sized utilities, pushing sales higher.

blksn8k2 Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 If I were tempted to trade my '18 F-150, which just turned 25k miles, my choice right now would be between the F-150 PowerBoost and the '23 Ranger Raptor. I'm leaning toward the PowerBoost since lately First Energy can't seem to keep the power on any time the wind blows more than about 10mph. The all AL body of the 150 is also a huge consideration here in the Rust Belt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-dubz Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 https://www.motor1.com/news/532780/new-ford-everest-interior-spied/ here’s some spy pics of the new Everest. There are some interior shots as well which show it to have pretty much the same interior as the current gen. Hopefully this is only because it’s a mule, but it seems odd since it looks like a complete vehicle and not some hack job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everest usually launches 2 years behind the Ranger, so early mule. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bzcat Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 It's possible that Ford will elect to give Everest just a minor nip and tuck behind the A-pillar. The volume on the SUV is relatively low so maybe Ford will just update the chassis and drivetrain with the new Ranger and leave back 2/3 of the SUV largely unchanged. Ranger sells 10x more than Everest so Ford can afford a whole new body and interior. We've seen Ford done something similar before... remember the 3rd gen (2007) Expedition got a new chassis but was only new in the front 1/3 while the back 2/3 of the body was carried over from the 2nd gen?

jpd80 Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 (edited) The current Everest is a little too round for my liking, I think that was a drawback for intended buyers in the segment where the champ is Prado/Landcruiser 120 - a much squarer profiled vehicle. New Everest clearly shares most of its front half with Ranger, so making the Ranger more filled out and squarer, also means that Everest takes on that more “solid” look, especially when the back half is similarly styled. Filling out the lines also increases canopy feel, they feel bigger inside. Some of the really big change with Ranger/Everest is not seen, it felt and experienced in a new quietness that I’m sure will really grab potential buyers on a test run…they’re that good. Recently, the sales ratio of Everest has increased to about one sixth of Ranger which is impressive given the T6 Everest is approaching six years old, a bolder Everest could see sales double.

PRH60 Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Note that while the interior of the mule does appear unchanged the current Everest does not have a rotary transmission selector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The smaller knob on the console-electric parking brake; I don't see a handle in the last photo. Or maybe emergency kill switch for the tester?

Don't usually see that. They probably took a near production front end from the Ranger and graphed it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
