You got lucky with that Transit order. We ordered ours on 6/08/22, the day after the order banks opened, and we just finally got the email saying it was scheduled for the week of 5/29. Also just a cargo van. Luckily we found almost the exact same thing sitting on a lot in Seattle a few weeks ago...

We've been talking about it, sure, but outside of this niche forum of a 1000 or so members, the vast majority of the population doesn't know or care about the 6g Ranger. So I would hardly expect Ford to rush into an announcement/reveal simply to please a fraction of those 1000 or so forum...

If you drive more conservatively you can pretty easily get over 400 miles on a tank. I've gotten over 500 miles on a tank a few times with my 5g Ranger. That wasn't necessarily easy, but it is possible. But either way, all that said, yes, I do wish the Ranger tank size was larger. Really makes...

It doesn't need to be that large of a battery to help out quite a bit. Also, sure it's a smaller vehicle so it'll have a smaller battery, but at the same token it's a smaller vehicle so it won't need as big of a battery. It's all proportional. And I would almost figure that it's a non-linear...

Yeah, the final straw for it in the F-150 is because of the hybrid. The hybrid F-150 had comparable efficiency and more power and torque, essentially making the diesel irrelevant. That, combined with low demand to begin with, made it not worth keeping as an option. I'd imagine the same will be...

Fair enough. I still personally believe it's misrepresenting the size of the vehicle and wrong, and that this whole taking something (like a regulation) that specifically means something, and just doing whatever you want with it is not good and makes the whole practice and original intent...

Yeah, this. I haven't researched enough to know if it is actually illegal or not to falsify your width by putting marker lights on something that doesn't require them, but it certainly seems like it wouldn't be ideal. I know there are plenty of aftermarket kits out there for plenty of vehicles...

While dealers are not required to take A/Z plan pricing, they usually do. A someone who has access to Z-plan (which is essentially equivalent to A-plan; one is for current employees and families, the other is for former employees and families), I have run into a couple dealers who wouldn't...

The 3 amber lights in the grill are an actual legal requirement for vehicles wider than 2032mm (80in). And I have heard stories of people getting "a talking to" (not sure if there's an actual legal statement against it) for having them on vehicles narrower than that, since it can cause confusion...

Ford has only confirmed the 6g Ranger and Ranger Raptor will come to the US/CAN market at some point next year (2023). That's all they've officially said. Everything else (specific timeline, options, appearance, available trims, available powertrains, etc.) is purely speculation and hearsay.

A lot of you guys keep saying you're "tired of all the hype from Ford", but Ford isn't the one hyping the next gen Ranger, or at least certainly not as much as any other new product. The members on here and a handful of "news" publications are the only ones talking about this. Ford has barely...

But what I'm saying is it's not just the TRX, the 11500lbs+ towing Ram also has rear coil spring suspension. So clearly it's not that big of an issue.

The Rams have had coil spring rear ends for years, and they do just fine at towing and off-roading and everything else. It's definitely possible, just depends how much investment manufacturers want to put into design and development of a coil rear-end system.

All hard caps/toppers/camper shells/whatever you want to call them that I know of come with an integrated third brake light anyways.

There's plenty of off-roading in Wisconsin, at least the northern part where there's trees and nature instead of just cities and farms. haha Either way though off-roading is one of the Ranger's main functions by design, so they have to incorporate off-road aspects whether you use them or not...

Side exit doesn't interfere with the departure angle like an aft exit one does.

I think the problem there is that most of the time the batteries needed for partial or full EV sit under/inside the cabin. So in order to have enough batteries to make a viable electrification attempt (of whatever kind), you'll want as much under cab space as possible, which translates to the...

They could do something. They could revoke the dealer's franchise and/or no longer sell vehicles to them if they really wanted to go to the extreme. They never will do that of course because that would mean them losing out on money and distribution, but pretty sure that's within their power.

Different enough to require additional/re-testing. Not only because it'll be different to meet US regulations, but also because there are additional US regulations to design for and test to. These things take time.

Even though an electric one will likely be even faster and more powerful?
