Says it shares Bronco Chassis and power trains meaning 4x4 is a great + is my honest opinion ! Will the doors and top come off, maybe offered on a off road model, yea !

I was somewhat interested in this until I saw it’s only got a tiny box and is only available as a crew cab. It looks like it isn’t really 4wd.
what I want doesn’t seem to be made anymore. I have a 05 Colorado reg cab with a 6’ box. I’d really like a new truck just like it. I will not buy a truck with a box shorter than 6’ . I do not need or want a back seat. I have a F350 that I can use when I needed. Yet I like the small reg truck for when I’m doing stuff that doesn’t require a big truck. If the ranger was available as a reg cab I’d probably have bought one of those.

Not sure why it has to be a great idea just for young families. What about older people who don't need a full sized vehicle?
Also, I don't see this competing with the Ridgeline, I see the Ridgeline competing with the half ton truck segment.

Chiron? Yes, they can afford a product with sales of only a few hundred units/year, but its vehicle go for a little more than $20k.

As soon as they started calling drivers of minivans "Soccer Moms", the death of the minivan was inevitable.
My Grand Caravan was by far and away the most practical vehicle that I have even owned. Fold down the 3rd row seat, and it had more room than the bed of the new Maverick. Not any bigger than the Maverick either.
I just did not need it anymore and Carvana gave me a whopping good offer for it.

Grandparent have money too, especially to spend on grandkids. $50k for a minivan? No problemo.

Had 4x4 all the time till 2016. Miss it bet didn’t use it much. Heavy snow or soft spring ground. Good thing about it is clearance. Front wheel drive sets low. I suppose a lift kit can help that but possibly drive train problems. That front clearance will make or break it for me. Got to deal with snow plows.

How many Honda Ridgelines sell vs Ford F-150/250/350. Take your pick which Ford model. You cannot use a Ridgeline to tow a 30’ camper or car hauler.

So far my choice for 2022 is a 7.2 Hybrid so the Crews have always constant power at the sites ! The EV seems iffy but for the near county needs it still is in my attention span, who knows. Hope I can figure out that Maverick if 4x4 for the daughter. She likes the Business also so she wants to be here contributing. So stubborn, would get into demolition if I let her ! She most likely will only settle for a 7.2 hybrid ! U know thats not a bad idea if a crew needs the onsite power, just let her go to work there ! 
get her out of the home office for some peace/relaxation times !
