That front end looks horrible. Everything else looks awesome.

That’s what I said when I saw it too. I’m worried that the new ranger will get smacked with the ugly stick too. Guess it’s good I already have a Gen5 although I think the Gen6 will probably have a much more useful interior.

Agreed. Sync4, better styling, better rear storage (but I want a supercab, but still want better storage) and don't screw me on the lack of B&O, stick a woofer under a seat, thank you very much! And, trick out the bed like the Mav. And, also, rear bumper steps. Oh, and a TBC. Am I asking too much?

It does look better than the spy shots and renderings did, but why does it need to look like an baby F150. Call it an F075. I hope the 6G doesn't look like it got driven into a wall. Nothing wrong with a little style to set it apart.

The target audience.

I would venture a guess that the 2.0/AWD version will be stock for stock quicker than a Ranger.

Edit: From zerotosixtytimes.com

Since it's based on the Escape platform that's what I compared.

2020 Ford Escape Titanium 2.0T EcoBoost AWD 0-60 mph 6.3 Quarter mile 14.8

2019 Ford Ranger Lariat SuperCrew 4x4 0-60 mph 6.8 Quarter mile 15.2

It can't any worse honestly. The fact that the back seats don't fold down all the way still irks me.

I don't think people trying to do that thing is who they're trying to sell to.

I think they did a great job on it. The looks may not be to everyone's taste but the features are on target. And it does look like a truck.
When I showed it to my wife, she asked if that was her next vehicle. I said it could be.
Trying to talk my daughter into the Maverick. She wants an older Ranger and I keep pushing the new Maverick. She already has the 'its not a real truck' attitude.

I learned to drive on our old willys jeep. Then rebuilt a cj5 with my dad and grandfather in high school (that I still have, and likely always will), and now I have a mustang and motorcycle I play with. I've always loved everything manual. It seems though, the older I get (32 yesterday), the less I actually want to row my own gears. It's still fun, don't get me wrong, but long trips and stop n go traffic have lessened my enthusiasm. Just one more thing my old man predicted ha. And I agree with Mike. Soon it probably won't even be an option. A lot of the sports cars are even moving more to the high tech, faster shifting automatics. For example, the new c8 corvette.

Happy belated Birthday!

Did you see all the cool shit they did to make the Maverick's bed useful???!!!???
And we have to pay $93.27 for a set of tie-downs that should have come with the truck in the first place? Da Fuuuuu****?

This explains why no AWD on the Hybrid.

Exactly. Hold my half calf double decaf matcha latte, and watch and learn.

My last one was 14 pallets stacked in the back of my 1998 Ranger. It was probably 3 feet taller than the cab. Talk about tailgater-prevention. A cop eyeballed me but thankfully just shook his head.

If only the headlights were bigger.
