Toyota is the only competition for Ford and rightfully so, Yotas are awesome, and it takes awesome to compete with the best. Ford gives you the best truck for the $$$$$ period.

Just watched the entire thing, was going to post it and you already had!

I really wish I was in the market for one I bet it takes over.

If you think that's impressive, wait for 2021. This version is to be replaced by a completely different version then, and a 2.7 is likely in the works,maybe even a few more choices.
I have a neighbor that has property up here, he was here a couple weeks ago deer hunting. He was a test engineer on the F150 and Mustangs, and is now doing the same on the new Ranger.
Consider this, the new Bronco, 2020, is being built at the same plant in Wayne, Mi. It makes sense then, the 2021 Ranger would basically be a pickup version. Sort of the reverse of Ranger, then the BII like we saw last century.
I had also read somewhere, that a 7 speed manual may be offered in the Bronco, so,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,. Myself, I'll stick with the 10 speed auto, even if the manual is offered.
I was disappointed with the 2019, only one engine choice, and the packaging isn't to my liking. I'm looking forward to the '21.

I think I posted the article on here somewhere, but they have said that a 7 speed transmission may be in the works.  Ford is working with Gertrag on it.

Now how about those stories about a V8 4 door Mustang?

After watching the video I thought the trucks look cooler than the one they usedin the original press release but not as cool as the Australian ones. To me it looks like a mini F150. More like the size of the Colorado's than the previous rangers. I like the fully boxed frame and steel bumpers but I wish they had more choices for drivetrain. I know the EcoBoost has more horsepower and torque than the current SOHC V6 and are probably comparable to the 5.0L V8. Just seems like Ford misses the mark when it comes to what we want. Most of the other light duty or mid sized trucks had a V8 option during some part of their production. The SVT lightning ranget never saw production due to vehicle safety and cafe standards. Meaning they couldnt get the mpg and meet safety standards with a V8. So now all of us are doing to our rangers what the factory wouldnt.

That must be where I read that. I remember banging around in an 18 speed all day, it was alays nice getting into just a 5 speed at the end of the day, let alone my auto in the 150.:)
TBH, I didn't look at the article about the 4dr Mustang.

Building a 4 door Mustang would be as bad as Ford wanting to make the Mustang a FWD car with no V-8 like they wanted to do in the late 80's. Mustang fans & potential buyers wrote to Ford about leaving the Mustang a RWD car, & so the Ford Probe was born. Leave the Mustang a 2 door.
