fuzzymoomoo Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 I’m a little upset they got rid of the steel front bumper and went with a fascia instead 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

92merc Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Yeah, a bit too much white in the picture. I liked the chrome bumpers better. Get something in there to break up the mass of color. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akirby Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 I like it but it desperately needs a 6’ box. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just reminded me of the only thing I miss about being in final assembly: seeing all the different packages before anyone else. I’m not even sure if there will be a chrome package this time.

I think this will be my next vehicle.....gonna miss not being able to see the different packages on the lot before buying/ordering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANTAUS Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 It could be the lower level poverty package series...contractor special. I'm sure the higher trim versions will have more design elements to make it pop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see the new Canyonrado has done away with steel bumpers too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be, but unless the facias will all be body color, this might be a 302A XLT or a Lariat: note the chrome fender vent and turn signal mirrors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzymoomoo Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Man I wish I could divulge some more info right now. It’s hard biting my tongue. I miss my anonymity ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-dubz Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 (edited) I was hoping the separate steel bumper would give the ranger a more aggressive look. Very disappointed that they did away with it. Not good if this is a lariat. Maybe it’s the color but it’s definitely giving me work truck vibes.This looks pedestrian next to the canyon and Colorado. Is it too much to ask to just make all the rangers look like the raptor?? Now that’s a good looking truck.

fuzzymoomoo Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 I’m curious about what the interior differences are from the ROW version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get something in there to break up the mass of color. Black bumpers maybe? Chrome belongs in the 50s imo. Just doesn't look good on modern cars. Black adds contrast, and agression to a design. Or maybe ford could offer a contrast package with a color other than black for people who want it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HotRunrGuy Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 I'm hoping they didn't lose the foot-step behind the rear tires, and this one just has a panel over the cutout. HRG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I’ve seen is the empty body shell…. Again it’s the one thing I miss about working in final. Keep in mind we’re so forgotten about in body shop that it was months into building the Bronco before I got to see one in person, and the only reason it even happened was because I signed up for the event at my dealer.

tbone Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 I think it looks pretty good, but would be a lot better with a front bumper. The Ranger Raptor appears to have a bumper so perhaps there’sa chance the NA Ranger will still have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure there will multiple grilles and front ends just like F150. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know many say .."what is wrong with crew cab?" I just like the convenience of ability to carry the grandkids every now and then..but mostly use the space as an alternative to a tool box in the bed.

I would prefer a Supercab as well but on the Ranger it’s super tight and the crew cab is only 12” longer. If I was going to buy one as opposed to a lightning jr I would want the crew cab 6’ bed. 5’ is just too short for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they have to do a better job then on the current gen where the only difference in grilles is adding some color or chrome to the same grille. The raptor doesn’t have that small body panel that goes between the headlights and the grille. That space is instead filled up with the grille. I think that larger grille helps the overall look of the truck. I hope the tremor gets a similar front end to the raptor but maybe just has the ford logo instead of the ford script.
