JX1 Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 (edited) It's official, it does debut May 10th like I shared days ago, along with @HotRunrGuy. I've created this thread to organize post-reveal discussion and keep separate from spy shots and speculation. If not necessary, fine with me. https://youtu.be/wMjbaYXVor4 Edited May 10, 2023 by JX1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pffan1990 Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 (edited) Thanks! Looking forward to reveal to see all the info. The description in that linked video, as well as shown at the end of the video, points to a page on Ford's site regarding new info about new Ranger. I'm guessing they'll just post all the info including videos at once on that page rather than a live/pre-taped-and-edited reveal event. https://www.ford.com/rangerready/ Edited May 6, 2023 by pffan1990 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGR Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 It is pretty smart of them to debut it before the TuRDcoma. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it may have been during Kentucky Derby coverage, but nor sure. I normally tune commercials out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an ad during the Kentucky Derby. JX1 also posted that video link in the 'US Ranger without camo' thread linked above but also included the Courier Journal article about Derby ad. You'll see my below quote in reply to his on that link. On 5/6/2023 at 5:32 PM, pffan1990 said: Spot on once again! It's brilliant of Ford to run a quick 15-second 'announcement' ad during the Kentucky Derby that Ford sponsors. Lots of audience viewing the ads prior to the actual Derby horse race. I'm just an hour and half south-east of Louisville in Kentucky, so this is awesome that Ford chose this race to announce the new Ranger reveal. Of course, Ford also build the Super Duty trucks and the Expedition/Navigator at KTP and the Escape/Corsair at LAP in Louisville. But you all already know this. lol So it makes sense for Ford to sponsor the Kentucky Derby races. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmc523 Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Aside from seeing the exact powertrain options and available features, it'll be a boring debut since we already know what it looks like. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just know that we appreciate your insider point of view, and respect your need to keep quiet on things you see that are not meant for public consumption (yet). I'm still on the fence if I'm going to get a Gen6 Ranger on order in a couple of weeks, having already spent 1 of my brothers Z-plan PIN's this year on the Maverick,,,,, HRG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pffan1990 Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Does anyone know the time that Ford plans to reveal the new Ranger via their linked site in the short ad video, their media press page, as well as when general embargo ends? I keep seeing 'Wednesday May 10th' but no time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I occasionally lurk that Ranger6G forum but didn't see that particular post from Dave (All Terrain Nation) with the embargo time. I just went there and now seen it via forum search. I figured it would be 6AM since that's usually when Ford would release info onto their sites, including the Ford Media page, for new vehicles that don't have reveal events.

Rick73 Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Pro Power Onboard would be a nice addition; one that has become common on both new pickups and vans. However, unlike the standard F-150 which relies on second alternator and two lead batteries, it’s difficult to imagine Ranger would go in similar direction due to weight and fuel economy. PPO works best with hybrid, but will that be an option on Ranger? A hybrid Ranger seems needed for multiple reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2.7L is still an I4 The 2.3L in the Bronco is 300 horsepower and 325 pound-feet and the Raptors 3.0L would cover the higher end Colorado and Canyon models more then effectively. The other thing I noticed-the Colorado and Canyon are still only using 8 Speed transmissions too. Edited May 9, 2023 by silvrsvt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smart move on GM's part. The Ford version of the 10-speed transmission (10R60, 10R80, 10R80 MHT, 10R140) is plagued with problems, wouldn't be surprised if the GM version is too.
