Chevy will have something, RAM will have something... Hyundai already has something. Toyota? Competition is definitely good.Not a bad looking truck. In my eyes I kind of see it halfway or so between the look of the Mav and the look of the SC. I take the look of the Maverick, as to me, it has more of the truck look.
Ford will be getting some competition in the Marketplace for sure in the next few years. That will be a good thing. Competition is king in the free market capitalist system we all enjoy.
Probably....but, it is still a Fiat and dependability would be suspect in my opinion
No argument there, but it's good to have competition to keep mfg's on their toes. Bring on all the competition in my opinion
"If", and a big "if" that is that the Ranchero could be the smaller 2 door extended cab truck alot of us have been wanting. Use the same architecture and possible use a Escape line to build it on. Looking at our Maverick there is room to trim size up front. So if you cut 4-6" out of the front end, made the Mavericks front door longer by about 10" for rear access, and extended the bed up a full 12" you would end up with a little bit shorter truck with a wheelbase similar to the Bronco Sport and a more usable cargo area. Target it at fleets, contractors, and youthful people and it should sell in the numbers they thought was going to satisfy the Maverick crowd, barring real stiff competition. Give it the same 3 cyl as the BS, with a top model or HD 4k 2.0s, and possibly a hybrid or full EV.
The only "Ranchero" rumors can all be traced back to Maverick leaks from before the name got announced and folks were speculating on the name. It's not a thing, and was never a thing.
Still a wicked dream. I would even be fine with an Escape-ish front end as long as it had capable hindquarters.
