  1. Car & Driver recommends Maverick as a great first vehicle

    I know I'm gonna sound bitter, but most 17, 18 year olds aren't gonna be buying a lightly used, or even brand new maverick without the help of their parents. It reminds me of an article I saw where it was like "Here are the best new cars parents can buy for their college aged kids". Just to...
  2. Car & Driver recommends Maverick as a great first vehicle

    To be fair, the maverick doesn't have reliability red flags and holds it's value well. My 2022 is probably still worth almost what I paid for it.
  3. Ford Ranchero Midsize EV Pickup - News & Info

    Here's it with less camo to give you a better idea. Excuse the final image where it says real slope, the slope of the right is the actual mule and the one on the left is someone editing it to guess the hood design.

    Nah it's just obscured by the camo, but that got a chuckle out of me.
  5. Ford Ranchero Midsize EV Pickup - News & Info

    The rendering isn't even in the same ballpark. For instance, the front end is body colored without a fake grille, and the hood slopes down near the front. Look at the mules and where the cutouts in the front for the headlights are, that gives you a good idea of how much the hood drops.
  6. Maverick vs OG Ranger with pics...so now I get why I like this thing.

    I don't disagree. I love Ford, but I feel like one of the best things about their brand is something they've walked away from in recent years, diversity. The thing that made Ford my fav car brand was how diverse their lineup was. You have trucks, a muscle car, sporty hatchbacks, sedans, a...
  7. Maverick vs OG Ranger with pics...so now I get why I like this thing.

    What if the bronco truck just is the global truck with different branding depending on region? Ford's done this before the fusion is called mondeo in Europe for instance. The ranger name, at least when applied to a midsized truck, doesn't seem to carry any weight or significance in the US...
  8. Maverick vs OG Ranger with pics...so now I get why I like this thing.

    The current ranger is gonna be replaced with a bronco pickup. They already use the same chassis and have a ton of overlap as is so that makes sense. So that clears up the ranger name. I'd love to see the next gen maverick called ranger. Then again, I love the maverick name. It would be really...

    Thank you.

    I think there are a lot of dimensions to why some profiles go dark. Unfortunately some people do pass. I think most people either just lose interest or sell their maverick. Additionally, forums can be kinda stressful, it's often seeing a bunch of people who own the same product as you talking...

    Can you give various examples? I'm 31.
  12. First Sight! $30k Midsize EV Pickup Prototype

    At least it's not ugly lol. I'm curious what are some of the lifestyle options and accessories that have been eluded to?
  13. First Sight! $30k Midsize EV Pickup Prototype

    I agree the lines over the wheels won't be as exaggerated on the actual truck, but you can see those lines running over the wheels with a bit of flair if you look closely at these images. But it'll be toned down. I guess view my rendering as the fantastical designer rendering, tone it down, and...

    That's interesting. By and large Ford hybrids and EVs are generally really reliable. But then again you might be owning another brand. I've heard iffy thing about Honda hybrid reliability for instance.

    You'll be happy to know the head engineers of this new Ford affordable EV platform were the same minds that were leading the engineering on the Tesla model 3 and Y. So really smart people. Ford also hired some software engineers from companies like Apple.

    The blue sketch? That's not it, but the silver one on the right I think is pretty close.

    Yep they'll be built in Kentucky in the plant that used to make the escape. They're following Chinese EVs very closely, the CEO of Ford, Jim Farley, was driving a Chinese EV sedan as his personal car for about 6 months and said he didn't want to give it up. It's one of these. With Ford saying...

    Would you mind screenshoting that image and sharing it? I saw some of the vids, but haven't seen anything showing the actual design of the headlights or uncovered roofline thus far.
  19. First Sight! $30k Midsize EV Pickup Prototype

    Thanks guys. I think the actual truck will be a little taller and less sporty than that, but it's in the ball park. I was also told by someone who saw it that the nose is a little lower, so I might need to make some tweaks.
  20. First Sight! $30k Midsize EV Pickup Prototype

    Thanks 😀. I actually wanted to be a car designer for Ford for much of my life. Unfortunately car design schools are insanely expensive, like 30 grand tuition a semester. But I'm trying to teach myself some skills like sketching, AI, and 3d modeling and building up my portfolio. We'll see if it...
