yup, i believe its pretty much a Bronco Sport with a bed weldded onto the back.

I can buy a set of Morimoto D2S projectors on eBay for $40, so why are we as consumers forced to settle for shit headlights?

Look again. Those are standard led headlamps. It a down firing design, same as the new Honda Accord or a few other models.

I’m not worried about the bulb. Reflectors are almost always severely compromised.

I have only two questions:

1) Where are they sourcing the parts to build it?

2) Where is it being assembled?

A down firing led reflector is generally going to have better width and control than a multi-optic projector unit. The main difference is going to be the led chip and the power level they chose.

Junk. I'll pass.

I guess we'll focus on the CVT, FWD and ignore the 2.0T 277ftlb, 8 speed and awd..

None of that was an option when I went through Ford's configurator because I committed the sin of picking the color I wanted first. Selecting a different color does allow me to pick the EcoBoost 2.0T and an 8AT, but still doesn't get me to AWD in a Lariat.

If you drop down a trim level (which I'm good with, I only had Lariat selected because that is where the color I wanted was) you can get 2.0T/8AT/AWD.

So some shade of Red and the drivertrain costs me $10,000 so I'm at $29,900.

I saw that, and it improves things for someone wanting more power and a different drivetrain, but it will likely still be FWD biased with a typical haldex AWD system that doesn’t have a locking differential, nor will it likely have the towing capacity and off-road rigidity of a body-on-frame truck.

It is basically a Toyota Rav4 AWD with a bed, which isn’t a bad thing. It should sell well, but it might also trick a few people who see a truck, but don’t know it is a reskinned CUV.

Dadhawk · 06-09-2021, 04:01 PM

They should have called the ranger an F75 and this the F37.50, or I guess more properly would have been the F050 and F-050 (minus 050)

kmbkk · 06-09-2021, 06:12 PM

I’m strongly considering getting either this or the new Hyundai Santa Cruz. Having a small truck with a 2.5L turbo sounds fun. It would be real nice if they bring an N trim Santa Cruz

Still way too big.
They will never make a truck in the size I would want again.
