I hope that’s from Ford, looks good!

Revealed that ths is indeed the next Gen Ranger and that
Ford tried to have the copyright images taken down

Dear Mr. George,

We are outside counsel to Ford Motor Company (“Ford”), which asked us to contact Jalopnik and ask for its voluntary agreement to take down copyrighted images of a Ford automobile, which are displayed at the following URL:

Attached is a screenshot on which the photos have been circled.Ford did not authorize release of the photos, which Ford has strong reason to believe were released in violation of a non-disclosure agreement.

https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media...apxs01sh19.png


Please let me know if there is anything else that you need in order to consider this request. Ford asks Jalopnik to remove the photos as soon as possible and by no later than February 25, 2019.Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Best regards,

REDACTED | Attorney

Jalopnik's response:

This is a Ford truck. Ford’s own lawyers told us so. We won’t be taking the photo down, as we have no knowledge of any non-disclosure agreement between Wheels Australia and Ford. Even so that would not prevent Jalopnik from publishing information in the public interest, as these photos definitely are.

I guess the fact that Wheels haven't taken down the images suggests that someone else took the pictures..

[Dr Smith]

You have to laugh though, if the lawyers and FoMoCo had of read more of the posts in the various sites where these photos re-appeared they may have realized the thoughts on it being a Ford weren't definitive and all they have achieved is confirm it.

is this the ford/vw amaranger
a ranger raptor with a 3.0 tdi from the A7 with 235kw and 650nm would be a game changer

[Hemihunter]

Lets hope its not a Ford. if looks could kill.

Another boring cheaply made bucket of **** with the turning circle of an aircraft carrier. Big deal.

the butthurt is strong with this one, like it or not, these shipboxes are outselling nearly every other bodystyle.
Sure you don't have to like them, but guess what, you're now in the minority

Corollas have outsold almost all other cars at various points in time.
Does it mean they’re any less boring because they were so popular?
Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande have outsold all of their competition too.

I’d rather be in the minority with a more unique car than the boring Thai made majority.

So i assume you never had a Falcon or Commodore when both were in their prime, where just about every household had one? A common boring car that everyone had?

I assume you had a unique car then?

First time in my life i have ever heard someone say a dual cab is more comfortable to drive than a falcon

You can add a second to that

Probably a good thing you're not manufacturing cars then

Because the Australian Ford CEO drives a Ranger does he?

Hell, if I was a car manufacturer I too would use cheap Asian labour to mass produce whatever style of car the sheep wanted to maximise my profits.

If they made a Ranger Titanium with a few extras like air suspension, you may find a few CEO's would.

That's my suggestion for a 2022 ranger anyway.

Funny enough I was driving a ranger back to back with my Falcon ute. The Falcon was nice...the Ranger like all the other duel cab utes.....boring.

Call it an F100 and be done with it.

Ford really can't do that because technically F100 was a full sized truck
and evolved int tie F150.

Just spitballing, not factual
What would be funny as, we get the futuristic look global Ranger while
North America steps back in time with a Ranger that echoes Bronco styling.
That would absolutely drive Jeep nuts......

Can,t see why it couldn,t be called an F100.Pretty sure the Ranger is as big if not bigger than the 1984 SWB F100 I had.I know is is about 15cm longer.

[Venomous1]

So what engine can we expect in this, a new 1.6 4 cylinder quad turbo adblue BEAST!!
149kilowasps and a cool 454nm at a measly 500rpm yes you read that right!

And the RAPTOR to have the all new Ecobluesport 1.0 3 cylinder making you guessed it 150kw a full kilowatt more! Yes!!

Because you know you don't want a 2.7 TT V6 with whats that's stuff called petrol uggghhh.

[CobraJet351]

Yes, Ford should stop selling what the masses want and what is profitable and start selling what a few individuals would possibly buy or just talk about at the pub.

[PG2]

This thread is about the possible 2022 Ranger.

[Dr Smith]

Steering it back on track.....
I'm hoping that with R&D of the new Ranger needing to allow for a US version from scratch where petrol is the preferred choice we might get a future petrol version as well, or maybe a hybrid of some form however I'm more confident a more powerful diesel is definitely coming based on the Merc and VW having taken the high ground performance wise.

We all realise that the only way Ford will provide any of this is if we tell them by either contacting directly, mentioning it to dealers or buying the opposition product so they see actual buyers deciding what they want.

[LeadFoot81]

I think it'd be great if the next gen Ranger (and all the dual cabs for that matter) became more car/SUV like in their execution... like F-Series etc

You can already see car makers are moving away from the commercial roots of these utes/trucks.

I think Ranger Raptor hints at the future of the dual cab (at least for Ford) of better ride/handling and a more SUV/car like product

[jpd80]

And now the Bronco chassis Mule has been spotted..
that would make a good divvy van for the cops.

It looks like it, it’ll be something very different I’d say.

I have seen outboard shock mounts on IRS stub axles before.
