HAHA! Funny how the cargo plane is a 4 engine turboprop in the air but morphed into a jet on the runway! Lots of hype in that video, but still a good looking truck. I would have to spend my kids inheritance to afford one....... oh hell, they can make it on their own right?

Beautiful truck, still the price will be about 40% truck/ 60% hype.
Is that an actual proposed offering for N/A?
Why is Ford even talking about new products,when they can't even deliver on what they make now?

Not to mention the fact that they can't reign-in their dealers ...many of whom are crooks, breaking their contracts and cheating the public in the showroom and the backroom.
A couple of weeks ago I saw a Maverick at $23000 over list.

Until they get back to their core business, Ford is heading down a path toward oblivion.
Time for new leadership at Ford Marketing, before they morph into Toyota.

Still.... NICE TRUCK! (sorry 'bout the rant!):party:

I just can't get into these Tesla size screens they are putting in vehicles. And the full digital instrument clusters. Much prefer an analog speedo and tach.
Why are they making all this new stuff and stopped making proper curricles?

For me it would be a nice upgrade, but the price is bit too steep for my liking.

Tech like that is hackable though. Then you can make it whatever you want and add stuff to. Full internet browsing, any app you can think of. But, ya prefer the mechanical instruments.

The bad thing about the digital instrument clusters is if the screen dies you have nothing. Just like in my 2019 Grand Cherokee when the infotainment screen froze on me. I had no way to control any of the hvac controls. It was the middle of winter too.

Indeed it does have somethings I like;

-Increased motor size (although disappointingly underwhelming performance in crease)

-Better suspension package from the factory
-wider footprint
-better dash display with wider variety of gauges (although expecting not much more accurate than the virtual tachometer we have)

I really don't see the need for Raptor on the seats, steering wheel and anywhere they could squeeze it in. I'm happy to pay for improved performance and some luxuries, but decals and pretty seats don't interest me at all.
agreed! i dont really care for tremor all over the trucks. I like the truck and the goodies that come with the tremor package just dont want it plastered all over stuff lol.

I like the color and the general theme but it looks a lil like a maverick to me still. I prefer analog and much smaller screen. we should be driving not watching a movie right. The screen that is in the current rangers is the max id ever want. was that an antonov in the video? reminds me of a c130 a bit. one of the old top gear videos was similar to this.

Like an obese Maverick in looks and too flash for me, I'd be a little embarrassed roaring up to the pub in this.
