If Ford is considering building a Bronco pickup they should consider building it as a regular cab or extended cab reminiscent of the 80's and 90's Ranger. They already have many offerings in a crew cab with tiny bed configuration and perhaps some buyers would value more useable bed space over...
Well said. Where I live in Northern Michigan I ride the trails at least a couple of times each week. I have yet to see a Gladiator off-road except at Silver Lake Sand Dunes and on the gravel fire roads in the Upper Peninsula.
Ford still sells the F150 in a regular cab short bed configuration in North America as well or a base price of $28,940. GM still builds a regular cab short bed Silverado in U.S. factories for the South American and overseas markets but not the North American market.
I hear yah. I'm sick of these crew cab with tiny bed pickups. Give me a 2 door regular cab with bench seat and at the least a 6 foot bed that I could put a slide in camper in for fishing trips to the UP.
The newly designed real Defender replacement, the Grenadier, basically has the Wranglers axles and suspension design. If you watch their videos on the development of it, many of the early prototypes appear to be Jeep Wrangler platforms. They didn't even bother to hide the JK moab wheels.
Most of Jeeps models are independent suspension front and rear so I would think that their suspension systems are just as innovative as Fords. The Wranglers are intentionally designed and built with solid axles to serve a specific purpose which has nothing to do with being innovative.
Don't confuse the suv market with the pickup truck market as they traditionally serve very different purposes.
I have no interest in a Maverick as it would be extremely useless for my needs. My mother had an original Maverick in the early 70's for less than a year which was defective. She...
You should look up CAFE regulations and see how our government colluded with the big three auto makers to build larger vehicles starting around ten to 15 years ago. You will learn much about what happened to the small mid-sized 2 door pickup truck market. It isn't that no one wanted a small 2...
Awesome Ranger Justin, complete with a useful bed. Don't ever get rid of it.
Your modified Ranger doesn't appear much smaller than the new 2020 Ranger. Take a look at the wheelbase and track width of your Ranger in stock form without the offset rims and wider tires compared to the new Ranger...
I was going to mention the same thing. I grew up riding in the back of early broncos and us kids could flip the front passenger seat with ease to get in or out. The driver's side door was not ment for rear seat access on the early broncos.
You should look up CAFE regulations and see how our government forced auto makers to build larger vehicles starting around ten to 15 years ago. You will learn much about what happened to the small and mid-sized pickup truck market. It isn't that no one wanted a small truck so manufacturer's...
