Ford Plans an ‘Affordable’ Gas-Powered Truck That’s Not the Maverick. How Will That Work?

I mean real seats that are with the vehicle when it is delivered to a customer.

It's no longer just China. BYD's market share is growing quickly in Southeast Asia, Middle East, Latin America, Europe and Australia.   Smartest move BYD did, they made BEV and PHEV models that belong in popular global segments (what people want). The complete opposite of Ford.

It’s just Fird deliberately limiting Ranger production so it can run at a set production mix with Brinco and be the most cost effective to Ford, it’s never been about maximum profit from MAP.

Looking forward to this. I hope they blow our minds and just reveal the design with this lol. 

I don't think I like you anymore.

A mach-e on CE1 would be pretty neat. If they decide not to go that route and make the next gen mach-e gas only, I'd like to see the ce1 utility pull styling elements from the mach-e just on a smaller scale and at a lower price. Something like this AI rendering, ignore the grille lol.    If this was the next escape, or maybe they call it puma, I think it would have major appeal. 

A mach-e with even sharper and more muscular styling would be nice. Maybe a little lower and wider, the same basic design just tweaked to have more road presence 

Based on your car history, it seems like you're drawn to the fun, but somewhat practical, types of cars with things like your bronco or SHO. With that in mind, I think a mach-e would suit you well. 

I... I actually don't mind those wheels lol. I hate 3 spoke rims with a passion, but 4 spoke, I'm more open to. They look kinda sporty, and sharp, not the worst ev wheels I've seen.    I wanna see Ford take some design risks with these CE1 products. The bronco and mustang, and other ICE products look great, but they have a pretty restrained look to them. I like that because it makes them more timeless. But I'd also really like it if Ford tried to have more styling variety in the company.    If the next gen bronco and mustang still went for that timeless look, but something like their affordable EV was a bit more daring and bold with its design so you could appeal to both camps, the people who want a more conservative style, and those who want really future and bold styling.
