Well they are getting some sort of Bronco in the next year or two, but that also begs the question if they are still going to make the Kuga at the same time. 

Well the upside is that it won't be sold in NA, so we won't have to worry about it 

But this isn't going to be an F100, it looks like it might be an international version of the Maverick? 

I like the molded in fenders on this show vehicle.

Not surprising.  It's been rumored GM is considering dropping their 'Double Cab' for some time, though the 2027 Silverado 1500 is still available in that configuration.  Extended cap pickups don't sell that well anymore.  And in GM's case their Double Cab does have a B pillar.  

That's how I read it.

I guess that fits the timeline better.  

The reasons I heard make absolute sense for Ranger. Those same reasons make zero sense for F-150. That leads me to believe the decision on the F-150 side is completely different. That’s as deep into it as I’m willing to go. 

Hmmm, I'm thinking this is a built in China truck for international markets (not North America). And if that is right, then it won't be marketed/sold as the F-100 since F series trucks are almost exclusively North America trucks. It certainly won't be built at TTP since Farley told us that the affordable ICE truck coming from TTP will debut in the 2029 time frame.   Ford has already confirmed the next generation Ranger is currently being developed in Australia:   https://www.drive.com.au/news/ford-ranger-next-generation-already-being-worked-on-in-australia/

The way the article reads, this truck will not be sold in the U.S.
