I can imagine the Ford marketing dude cracking open a cold Bud Light, lost in thought testing his gag reflex on the bottle, and just thinking to himself... "you know, is the new Raptor's image gay enough?"

It's either that, or they consulted the kids on Xbox Live chat on how they should market their trucks. :)
lol bringing back core memories right there. Shout out to Halo 2 on Xbox live circa 2005. Single handedly prepared me for anything the drill sgts had in their bag.

I think the Ranger is a nice offering but if I was in the midsize market the new Taco is just so good with so many standard features.

I'm a bit concerned with Ford marking the Raptor as "very gay"... and yes, I quadruple checked, this is not a hoax and is actually a legit marketing program.



And the Youtube Commenting section... 😅
I guess this means they won't be able to sell any in Florida. Texas, questionable.

For fun. I priced a 2024 Cactus Grey XL 4WD Crew Cab and added carpet w/ mats, spray-in bedliner, trailer package, and mudflaps. $39k w/ delivery. However, it's very nicely equipped with Sync4, big 8" and 10" displays, remote keylss entry. My only gripe was no sliding rear window. At that price it includes STX goodies too. (fog lights, alloys, LED highlights, tailgat dampner, nicer bucket seats). With it's 2.3L, 10spd, 4wd platform it will consume more fuel,

I took it step forward and did a bit of a loaded XLT 4WD (tow/tech pack, High pack, spray-in, flaps).. It also bundles the Sport Package (lots of black/grey exterior stuff) I mean it's absolutely loaded w/ the exception of a sunroof. it's $44k. It's pretty compelling when compared to the Maverick Lariat (you take a Lariat upto $38K to equip it like this.. I'm not even adding a sunroof, fx4, tremor, or black appeareance package, no tire upgrades, no fog lights of course)... So about a $6k difference, of course poorer gas mileage, and a firmer ride. Bear in mind if rumors are true about a significant Maverick Price Hike, this differential could be just $4k to - $5k.

I guess it all shows that the Maverick is a bargain when you keep it simple... Once you start loading it up. you fall right into a substantially better Ranger XLT at much less money than dealer markups.
Yeah but if you load up what you want on a ranger then you start getting into F150 territory. Ofcourse once you load up a f150 right you may aswell go into a pickup modified F650!

You don't even get ventilated seats on a Lariat for 50k? Also where's the optional 2.7? GM is out on top right now with their offerings and we'll see how the Tacoma compares when the build and price comes out, but right now I would say the Rangers in last place on my list.

Of course, but the idea was to show by exercising restraint a more capable, but equally equipped Ranger can be had for just a few thousand over an equally equipped Maverick. That was all this poster 'wanted'.

As a Texan, I'd rock this thing just to piss off the insecure d-bags around here.
