To me, this will depend on two things. 1.) Looks and 2.) Price
It has to look like a pickup. Honda has failed twice in this aspect. And it has to be affordable to hit it's likely buyer. Ford might get away with some top trim levels pushing into Ranger territory, but most buyers are going to want an affordable 4wd "truck" with some capability and "rugged" looks.... Okay, that might be crossing a line. :crackup:

Honda has finally figured out that the Ridgeline needs to look like an actual truck. The 2021 is a big improvement in that regard. It still won't pull like a Ranger... or look as good.... and will cost more for what you get at each level.

I wish Ford all the best with this product, and I hope it finds some customers who will be happy with it. It just seems too small, underpowered, and underperforming for me. So, the Maverick (or whatever) is too small, the F150 is too big, and the Ranger is just right. I could see going up a little bit in size/weight/power depending on what comes along, but never down!
and it is ugly...there I said it...I think I might laugh at someone driving it...

Nice :) Go big or go home. Or maybe go big and stay home. I sold my JD lawn tractor with snowblower implement last year, and hired somebody to mow and plow for me. Sometimes I watch out the window, mostly not. Can’t say that I miss it.

Well, that is a matter of taste, and some may like the look, but, yeah, I think it's ugly, too! (Must remember not to laugh at people driving them....)

The other day I was thinking why bring back the bronco and ignore the ranchero? I'd prefer a little smaller truck like half way between old ranger and new ranger with rear wheel drive and at least 275HP. it would be a suburb cruiser so no 4WD is needed. I'd have to grow a mullet of course... ok just put a bed on mustang
DO IT!!
