It would surprise me if they gave the international Ranger a different name. It would be like North America deciding to rename the F-150. But anything is possible.

Thinking here, with the 25 MPH limit, does the Kei come without an airbag or only a drivers steering wheel air bag. Makes you wonder how cheap they could really make these without many of the typical safety and creature comforts.  

I think it depends on sizing.  If F-100 is larger to better fit between Maverick and F-150, and if the ROW markets prefer Ranger's current sizing, would Ford rock the boat with changing that over to a slightly larger F-100?   I can absolutely see them using new construction methods on both products.....I just question if they're one in the same.....because also at that point, why bother calling it F-100, and not just stick with the Ranger name globally?

It's very true that sales of larger commercial trucks are indeed cyclical, but in Ford's case their sales don't seem to be following the market upswings.  Some of the good months are probably attributable to large fleet orders like U-Haul.

This is an interesting "adjacent" product to this Kei car......based on a Ranger platform apparently?  Not sure how they're sourcing those?     Ford Ranger-Based Work Truck Has No Windshield, Doors or Creature Comforts - Autoblog     In a Facebook (and Instagram) post picked up by The Drive, the company describes the cab-forward pickup as a “simple, compact truck based on a Ford Ranger, with a 5x10ft steel bed and bio-based composite cab.” We also learn that the Tomo combines Japanese design, German materials, and a “rugged, repairable American truck platform.”

I think ROW ranger refresh was too far along when the TTP option materialized.  So they're going with it for now with a hefty 20% cost cut.  But I expect the TTP truck to replace it worldwide if it's successful here.

I give it a month before the speed limiter is cracked....

The best internet forums are populated by people meeting this description. 😄

Yeah, I can "see" a variety of things on the vehicle....who knows what's actually right lol.    

I'm skeptical that ROW Ranger changes much.   I think they keep ROW Ranger as-is (obviously with refreshes, new generations, etc), while we get F-100 here in the US optimized for us.
