Well, maybe Ford is planning yet another truck size to the line....yes folks, the F200....a 5/8 ton beast with standard 6.8L V8 power....    Please note: I am only speculating based solely on Ford's many entries in the pickup truck segment....

Cheaper, yes, but does the F150 need more low-end torque than the 5.0 to make it worth it?  Plus, I would assume the 6.8L is quite a bit heavier being iron instead of aluminum.   But, adding to the F150 wouldn't mean they would have to drop it from the Super Duty.  It would just add economies of scale.

It’s cool seeing a Fiesta stick around that long and still doing daily duty. People joke about these cars, but when they’re maintained they can hang around for a lot more miles than most expect. The bright green color makes the timeline pics even better too lol. Definitely one of those cars that becomes part of the family after a while.

Agree and using Bronco as the foundation for T6 vehicle modules did a lot to improve that.  but Ford is also showing that a vehicle just below Ranger and perhaps one ever so slightly larger is a better strategy for North America?   Tacoma is more popular than Ranger or even Colorado, that may be due to a slightly wider cabin and body which leads me to think that Ford may have plans for the T6 Super Duty chassis beyond Global’s current use as a SD Ranger.   Although the bodies are narrower than F150, T6 Track is similar width as F150, so could Ford be  in a mood to create F100 with a slightly roomier body….  

It would be cheaper to build because it wouldn't have DOHC head on it. It would also offer more torque down low but it gives up HP in its current state also.    Plus who knows how emissions might affect Coyote vs the Godzilla engine.    

Hopefully another pop in the stock will take place in late 2026 or early 2027 as mass production of CE1 vehicles in Louisville, KY becomes reality 

We might see substantial active aero on this thing. That would be pretty radical, but awesome, I can't think of another affordable model with advanced active aero so this could be pretty revolutionary.      https://fordauthority.com/2026/05/future-ford-pickups-could-get-fins-for-aerodynamics/

I saw this pop up on my daily review of my stocks and I was like WTF caused this pop in the stock?!  

Solid boom is what happened to Ford's stock price today following the formal announcement of Ford Energy on Monday. Crossin' my fingers that the big shot in charge of this division, Lisa Drake, doesn't screw it up.   Investor support for Ford Motor's energy storage business sent its stock soaring 13% Wednesday, the biggest single-day increase in about six years, following a note from Morgan Stanley highlighting details released by the company on Monday. Ford announced its wholly-owned energy subsidiary late last year, and it is being directed by Lisa Drake, who has been a key leader in the company's efforts around electric vehicles.  

The current Ranger is a huge improvement over the last gen when it comes to that
