Bronco and Ranger confirmed

according to this...http://www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars/future-cars/news/a31019/ford-bronco-ranger-confirmed-uaw-trump/

Probably slap "Bronco" nameplate on a Focus like Fiat did with the Jeep Renegade. lol

I sure hope not. They sure need to hurry up and get it done. Gas prices and therefore sales could sure change in a year much less 4 years.

it will be lame and have an ecoboost or something

bronco and no rumbling V8 just don't compute with me

Transit Connect with a 1.0 EcoBoost. lol

You can bank on it not having a solid front axle.

I felt and still feel the same way about the new "Chargers". 4 doors just aint right!

I can't wait till 2020!

The Ranger, which is currently available in some foreign markets, will hit U.S. showrooms with new styling and powertrain options in 2019. The Bronco will return to dealerships in 2020.

Going with solid axles in the Bronco. Sounding better all the time

Good news! Staying true should make it a success.

My B.S. meter is pegged in regards to that article .

I've read some info on the AdvanTEK Dana gears.

They don't necessarily mean "solid axles". The entire article might end up being pure bullshit.

I'd heard the rumor of solid axles prior too so hopefully even if it is a BS article, it still comes out to be true.

IFS in those spy shots.

Too many 'what ifs' to make any calls on what is or isn't yet. This is simply a test mule. No one really knows what is being tested, from a simple component to the entire vehicle. I seriously doubt Ford will just adopt the world Ranger for our market.

They just showed the 2019 Ford Ranger today at the 2018 NAIAS.

They will only be available in Extra Cab and Quad Cab models, no Single Cab available. One powertrain is available too; a 2.3L Ecoboost I4 w/10 speed auto tranny, no manual, no V6, and no Diesel option. The same powertrain in the Mustang makes 310 HP and 350 lb. ft. of torque.

I do like how they didn't go crazy with the front ends either. It looks like the Ranger that is available in the rest of the world.

The new Ranger looks bigger than the past versions. I know a lot of people liked the old model. My experience was only with 4 single cabs that we had at work. I found them to be a rough ride, terrible on gas considering their size. We had an A... hole boss that when he wanted to punish workers would pair two big guys in a Ranger. They were over 6' and heavy and it looked like they were driving a clown car. In defense, we also had a few S-10's that were just as bad room wise.

Too bad they only offer the one engine option. I'm not a fan of those buzzy ecoboost engines. It's always funny to hear the youngsters with those buzzy Mustang's with hollowed out exhausts floor it as if we all should be jealous.

They definitely need to offer at least one other engine choice in these new Rangers..

Not to mention that some people simply will not buy a pickup with a 4-banger in it. The 2.7L Ecoboost V6 would be a good option..

I wish the new colorado would have been more S10 sized and chassis designed for an I4 only.
3 engines:
- naturally aspirated gas
- turbo gas
- turbo diesel

These new Ford Rangers can come quick enough. I can't wait to take one for a spin...
