Possibly, but I believe they're testing the waters for affordable EV smaller vehicles, like a new fiesta, in Europe using someone else's platform before they go all in on developing it themselves. I believe Ford will replace all of those EU partnership EVs with its own platform if the demand is there once the timing is right. 

For sure, and agree with Joe's comment on similar "voice" showing up  on other posted articles.    That blue "LTL" is by the way an LN with an aftermarket hood that has  the LTL grill work.  I believe someone had posted a picture  of a white LN with that hood so it apparently is being produced by someone. The AI world lends new importance to the old saying..."take it with a grain of salt".

"If it ain't broke, fix it 'til it is."  

Changed models/brands and the statement remains the same....

Curious if there will be a V6 variant of 7.3L Godzilla...a 5.5 liter V6 for an extended range EV Superduty? Hmmmm.... 

The module may fail, but its a software fix?!

Here lies the problem-the midsized unibody would be the upcoming CE1 pickup going by what the rumors are.    I just think adding a smaller pickup then the Maverick, The Maverick, the CE1 and the Ranger would be dividing the pie up too much.  To make a Bronco pickup that isn't a useful pickup is just spending bad money for no reason that could be better off used for something else.    The Ranger is cheap to do since pretty much everything about it is paid for ROW sales.    IMO they'd be better off adding another Bronco CUV product to slot between the Bronco and Bronco Sport that would be an Escape/Edge replacement before adding a Bronco pickup. Plus I don't think that adding hybrid/EREV/Lincoln Broncos would lead to that big of an increase in sales when MAP could build 250-300K units a year that would require the Ranger to be removed from that plant. 

They did without Ranger and Maverick for a decade.  At 50k units with price competition from tacoma and canyorado I doubt it's hugely profitable.  I could see expanded bronco production with hybrids and possibly a pickup and replacing ranger with more profitable small and midsized unibodies.

Finally a GM half ton that looks good! What will be interesting is will their new 5.7 and 6.6 liter V8’s, be competitive with Ford’s  5.0 V8 and the next generation 3.5 Ecoboost? Maybe, ford will need aluminum block 5.8/6.8 versions of the Godzilla? edselford

It still makes zero sense to get rid of the Ranger IMO. I could see it being moved, but at the same time getting replaced by something even smaller then the Maverick makes no sense what so ever.    plus you’d think that Ford wouldn’t want to have anything jeopardize or impact the CE1 coming out.
