Of all the names in all the world.......if Ford was too lazy to come up with a more unique name for a brand new truck line what else were they lazy about I wonder?
Clever it ain’t.
All the auto mfrs recycle their old brand names. It’s already a trademarked name so it doesn’t cost them anything.
Ford got burned once in the 60’s when they tried to sell Mustangs in Europe and found they couldn’t use the name ‘Mustang’, because it was already owned by a company that had made delivery trucks under that name, though it hadn’t used it in like 20 years. They offered to sell the name to Ford for $100k but Ford refused and used a alphanumeric model number for the car in Europe....................
