Oh, I see what you mean. Should have read your post more carefully.

Yes, but I think they break the sales out and don't lump them all together.

Fascinating.  

I think they do:     https://www.ford.com/f-series/faq/  

Maybe I should've been more specific; the front mono wiper; the off position appears to be vertical.     

It would be a coming home party. The original F-100 was a member of the F-Series.

I'm too lazy to look it up.....is there that big of a difference between Ranger and Tacoma in certain dimensions that it's a glaring difference?  Or is it just a reputation thing at this point (similar to how F-series is entrenched).

Once again TPP is a new take on a large truck, we don’t have the details but it’s not exactly a mid sized Ranger rebadge so we can stop the hyperbole as it will stand up to scrutiny if it is an F Truck. If Ford goes down that road, it will put pressure on F150 which is something I don’t know how they resolve but ther must be a way to have their cake and eat it too.   Unless of course the target is to go after Tacoma with a slightly bigger truck that steals a lot of those sales….Ranger cannot compete with Tacoma, Ford needs something that targets and corrects that shortfall.

Truthfully, I don't think they will, but they could. Light duty (I just checked the order guides) covers everything that is trucks up to the F-600. F-650 and F-750 are under Medium Trucks. Actually, keeping Maverick, Fathom, and Ranger OUT of the F-series adds a touch of plausibility to it, but only a touch. I've always thought it hurts GM a bit having Silverado and Sierra under different brands as far as the "best selling" bragging rights goes. Probably not enough to matter, but still.
