Here’s a shitty photoshop effort of what I think the new Ranger should look like. If Ford made this and priced it around $25k with 4x4, I’d buy it in a heart beat.

That’s actually pretty cool.
Because louvers.

Too tall. If I need to put something in the side of the bed, I’m going to have to pick it up over my head.

I’m curious about what engine they’ll put in it. If their really going for a bare bones truck, I’d think an ecoboost would be too expensive. Do they still use the Duratec engines?

Lower the belt line a bit and it would help without hurting the look too much, but yea, it’s a bit tall

Not sure, but being a small truck they don’t need the put the twin turbo V6 or anything crazy in it. I think for the Ranger to be a hit, no matter how it looks, it needs the be priced around $25-28k with the base engine and 4x4.

The 2.3 ecoboost would be plenty for a mid range engine, Ford seems to use it in a ton of products already

Base model, 4 cyl, non 4wd will probably check in around that price. Base Chevy Colorado WT is $24k and change. (Chevy claims you can get a Colorado starting at $21k, but good luck finding one.) Probably closer to $29k for a low-mid content 4wd model. I’d also guess that they won’t even offer a regular cab. It’ll start at extended.
HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles

I wouldn’t be surprised if the top tier engine is the 2.3 ecoboost.

$25k is wildly unrealistic. I’d buy it in a heartbeat at $35k.

You can get a 4x4 f150 regular cab short bed for $31k MSRP...I would hope they could at least get the ranger down to $27-28k

The Bronco will be more expensive than the Ranger. SUVs always cost more than the pickups they’re based off of. If they actually go to the trouble of a removable roof option (which I’d love, but I doubt they’ll do), that’ll be even more expensive. I hate how expensive vehicles have become, but the reality is what it is.
