Either way this is all good news. Ford just needs to get rid of that ugly Euro look on the Ranger and make it look more like the F-series trucks. In fact, Ford should just make it an F
-series truck.

As for the Bronco, IMHO, it should remain as true to it's roots as possible for the current times.

I hope the Bronco looks just like the one in the picture they posted. If so I'll buy one.

If the Ranger is going to be nearly the same size as the F150 why build a separate line of trucks?

Just because Chev. makes eleven different models of trucks is not a good reason for Ford to copy them.

Which one?

The one that Ford has been dragging out every year from 2004 on?

Or the one that looks like an illegitimate child of an S-10 Blazer?

I agree! The ranger is ugly and looks too Euro. Europeans know nothing about pickups.
I think it should be called the F100 or ranger F100

I agree on the bronco. Keep it to its roots and like the 66-77

Because the mid sized GM twins have enjoyed a 40+% sales increase since 2015. The Silverado sales are down a tick and the Sierra sales are up a tick to the mid sized twins are stealing sales from someone. Ford needs to jump on this.

Add a seven slot grille to the Bronco and call it a Jeep. But seriously, worth looking at. Hopefully it will be as off road ready/worthy as they are trying to make it look. Since they are showing it with a winch I would expect to be able to choose my gears and have lockers front and rear. Unless it's just a grocery getter.

Supposedly the Bronco is coming a year after the Ranger, 2019 perhaps.

I'd be happy with a left drive version of the Aussie Ranger and/or Everest. An Everest with a 3.2 PSD would be a new vehicle I'd actually buy.

The Everest is pretty sharp, I agree.

"Harbors and women rot ships and sailors" Really? It's a joke, right?

Actually, no it's not. Men belong on ships and ships belong at sea. Women distract sailors and ships don't ride well on a pier.
