in my eye, a new style "mid-size" pickup to compete with toyotas T-100 and nissans crew cab Frontier. would help ford greatly. Not only that, but im sure if ford were to build a new plant to build these trucks, they could produce another 3000+ jobs in america. thus helping our economy. buy american!!!!!

agreed

if you take good care of your truck it will last forever. if you run the **** out it and beat on it like a raped ape sure it will fall apart

almost every truck in every contracting and construction company i have been around does not get treated well, its the nature of the job. The reason us and everyone else uses ford is because the chevys just never hold up as well and the dodges fall apart when you look at them the wrong way

that is a cool looking pick up !!! Unibody design, I would say it is based on the ford escape SUV.

I'm not sure if this is a genuine ford design. it could be an artist's rendering of the ford escape as a pick up. if you ask me, it is cool looking!

Thanks hotrod... Damm was getting bit excited but i think your rite.. Looks to me like a mix of the Dodge Dakota, F150 (rear) and sport track. Fer a minute i thought it was a new pic of the 2012 T6 Ranger we mite be getting. I'd really like to see a F100... Well back to dreaming i suppose

I've owned all 3, Chevy, Ford and Dodge.
IMO with proper maintained they all hold up equally well.
I've seen all of them with well over 300k holding up strong with motors that have never been opened, on the flipside I've seen them all with major reoccurring problems with less than 100k on them.
Everyone seems to be all over dodges *** but truth is I see way more new Rams on the road than any other new truck around here and almost every fleet company has Ram 2,500's or F-250's
Hell my old Ramcharger with a 318 was my grandpas before he got his new ram and I only had to sell it due to 9mpgs

they should have kept the Ford Explorer Sport Trac an just upgraded it a little bit to replace the Ranger since the MPG requirements are going up it would be the perfect fit.
