Same here. I’ve only ever had 1 Ford and it was a lemon. I’m not into $30k second chances.

That would be for the full sized model.

If it holds a steady 20 mph in white, I guess he’d approve.

“Starting at $29,995 and can top 60k” means if you want seats, tires and a steering wheel, plan on 40.

I had a 2003 Ranger XLT and it did good by me.

My project K5 will stay. No new computers on wheels again if I can help it.

Will they offer a white, low-speed special edition?

Reminds me of the Hummer H3 which was a great car. I hope it is a huge hit.

Too expensive by 7500.

They should be looking at ‘less is more’ and providing a model that minimizes the computerization.

And they better have a manual transmission option. Should also come with towing package standard.

30K is too much for a car. Period. It’s the barrier. 60K is idiotic.

Unless they come down in price, it’s going to be a used Tacoma next. Rock solid trucks and they run forever.

I’ve got a Scion xB right now (less is more) manual transmission. Zero (0) troubles.

Was NEVER a Toyota guy.

They need an entry level truck to compete with Tacoma. F150 is too expensive.

I’ve never owned a bad Ford truck. I had two Rangers over the years which never died, I had to give one of them away.

I agree, go back to the basics and more affordable.

Fools will gladly pay 30 to 60k for the new toy.

I would pay for a frame off restored classic first for that kind of money.

I have a 66 Ford Bronco Roadster (no doors no roof) that I keep in Florida. It is my daily driver in the winter. Original straight 6 with a 3 speed on the column. I love that car.

1.5 liter engine in an “off road” vehicle? Seems very wimpy to me.

However adding competition against Fiat and their imposter of jeeps, not a bad idea. Most of the Jeeps except the Wrangler and Cherokee are imposter Fiat vehicles with Jeep stamped on them.

But they priced themselves 3K above the fake “Jeeps”
