Ford Jumping Back into the Mid-size Truck Market in 2019

Those of you complaining about looks need to realize that is the global ranger we will likely get something different to suit our American big bloated manly truck look that the rest of the world dosent.

 

how come it looks like a frontier and a hilux had a kid together?

 

If they give the option of a 2.7 eco boost in not the most expensive trim I may be interested.

 

At this point anything looks more appealing than the 3rd gen.

 

Global market vehicles aren't usually a good indication of what a US market vehicle will be like.

 

This is usally true, but the last few years Ford has been moving to global vehicles. The transit, Fiesta, Focus, and Mustang are global, with the euro focus it has a couple of other engine options (diesel). It may get a facelift here, but I think it will be a global truck.

 

Yeah there is no doubt they will Americanize it a little bit.

 

Those are both international trucks.
The orange one is the 2015 facelift of the T6 ranger
The black one is the 2011-2014 face T6.

Neither will be what the USDM version looks like. If anything, they'll make it similar to the F150 in appearance and use those design lines for the global trucks, since it'd be a whole new truck.

 

Like put a bigger grill on it?

 

LOL

 

There is potential for a decent competitor...

 

Kinda fugly, like a brown bag special or butterface.

 

If Ford offers a decent engine/power-train (which I'm sure they will, based on their recent vehicles) it can be as ugly as the day is long and I'll still swap out my Tacoma for one. It's not like the GEN3 Tacoma is a beauty queen or anything, haha.

one step closer to having the ranger back in the states.

 

They can build them on Mars and I'll still consider buying one. Haha
