The module may fail, but its a software fix?!

Here lies the problem-the midsized unibody would be the upcoming CE1 pickup going by what the rumors are.    I just think adding a smaller pickup then the Maverick, The Maverick, the CE1 and the Ranger would be dividing the pie up too much.  To make a Bronco pickup that isn't a useful pickup is just spending bad money for no reason that could be better off used for something else.    The Ranger is cheap to do since pretty much everything about it is paid for ROW sales.    IMO they'd be better off adding another Bronco CUV product to slot between the Bronco and Bronco Sport that would be an Escape/Edge replacement before adding a Bronco pickup. Plus I don't think that adding hybrid/EREV/Lincoln Broncos would lead to that big of an increase in sales when MAP could build 250-300K units a year that would require the Ranger to be removed from that plant. 

They did without Ranger and Maverick for a decade.  At 50k units with price competition from tacoma and canyorado I doubt it's hugely profitable.  I could see expanded bronco production with hybrids and possibly a pickup and replacing ranger with more profitable small and midsized unibodies.

Finally a GM half ton that looks good! What will be interesting is will their new 5.7 and 6.6 liter V8’s, be competitive with Ford’s  5.0 V8 and the next generation 3.5 Ecoboost? Maybe, ford will need aluminum block 5.8/6.8 versions of the Godzilla? edselford

It still makes zero sense to get rid of the Ranger IMO. I could see it being moved, but at the same time getting replaced by something even smaller then the Maverick makes no sense what so ever.    plus you’d think that Ford wouldn’t want to have anything jeopardize or impact the CE1 coming out. 

I’m also guessing that whatever agreements they have with VW and now Renault are affecting the CE1 getting to the EU. 

Listening to how “he” pronounced “Louisville…Kentucky” at the start, I’m thinking this is AI slop. That would certainly explain the mismatched imagery and iffy “facts” mentioned in this thread. 

And to this day, I wonder if they had just kept Mondeo on EUCD (C1+) platform, the FWD and 2.0 EB may have been enough to give  Camry a big scare.

As far as I can tell, there’s still zero interest in bring Everest to North America

When I first thought about it I was thinking that a hybrid Bronco could be a way I could get a Ford hybrid midsize pickup. Then started thinking about the removable doors and roof does not match my needs or use case. I would never take it off road. I'd be paying for a lot of capability I would never use.
