Maybe the maverick?
Not a maverick. That's a real body on frame truck. I agree with RP not a lot of body changes, maybe headlights and grill.

I’m more curious about that contraption underneath the back corner of the cab. Reminds me of a giant manual choke - anybody know what that is?

Driving around alone in a car while wearing a mask is like sitting in bed with a condom on and nobody else is home with you.

Until they fix the out of balance drivetrain I couldn’t care less.

Hopefully this next 6th generation will offer a SuperCrew/Longbed (6 foot) configuration!!! Ford is the only BoF midsize not to offer this configuration and the only reason I’m not driving a Ranger now (my current truck is a ‘02 F-150 Lariat SuperCrew)

I don’t want a full size and I don’t want a shorter bed than the 5 1/2 foot box I have now. Even if they extend the wheelbase long enough to put the 6’ bed (already made for use on the extended cab), it would still be much shorter in length and wheelbase than a SuperCrew F-150 with short box (5 1/2’).

Come on Ford, you’re missing out on market share because of this literal shortcoming. You’re almost forcing me into a Tacoma, GM twin or the next gen Frontier.

Frustrated in Charlotte, -Brian

Hopefully it has bedside stake pockets as all pickups used to. I would have liked to have seen the lowered window framing at the A pillar similar to what the F-150 and SuperDuty have. i'd also like to see the 6 ft bed on a screw and an equivalent wheelbase longer bed on the scab. At one time Ford bragged on having the most bed length cab combinations. Bring that back Ford!
