Joe771476 Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Instead of Ford fooling around with Ranger and Maverick pickups which could take away from F150 sales, a Transit pickup would be just the ticket! Small, cheap, very little new tooling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GearheadGrrrl Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Wouldn't be that simple- Transit Connect is unit body so a lot of reinforcement to what would be left of the body shell would be needed, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 A Transit pickup would be bigger than Ranger and already exists. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Maverick is built on the C2 unibody platform shared with the Escape and Bronco Sport. AFIK, the Transit Connect isn't designed to accommodate AWD/4WD. A Transit PU would indeed be bigger than the Ranger or a Transit Connect PU, but would be cool withe a flare side box! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
