Think Ford really missed the mark with the E-Mustang . . . I’ve got ZERO experience in marketing/sales/etc., but they should have called that thing the “Galax-E” - - homage to an older family oriented Ford product without sullying the heritage of the Mustang.
I still think Ford should have brought back Mercury.

Make all the EVs Mercury vehicles. The Mach-E could have been a Marauder. The F-150 Lightning could have been an M-150 Lighting.

Mercury never could quite decide if it was a performance brand or a Jr. Luxury brand. But either way using Mercury as the marque would have let Ford justify some of the higher production cost.

update: In a statement provided to Jalopnik, Ford representative Mike Levine said: "We are not going to comment on future product speculation, much of which is inaccurate. What we can say is Ford is focused on delivering a massive product renewal that will refresh 80% of our North American portfolio by volume by 2029. This includes the all-new Ford Fathom midsize pickup on the new Universal Electric Vehicle platform, alongside the next-generation F-150 and F-Series Super Duty."

I don’t think I want a Bronco Pickup. Bring the Ranger Superduty to the US
My problem with the US market Ranger is the lack of a Tremor* and diesel option, and the discontinuation of the 6-foot bed. I just can't get anything done with the short 5-foot bed, whereas with the 6-foot I can make that work. I don't like the crew cab/5' bed configuration being forced upon me. And a US market Ranger Super-Duty certainly would need at least the 6' bed to benefit from that HD suspension.

*Ford does offer a Tremor package on Rangers sold in the global market.

Facts as facts.

Gladiators are having birthdays on car lots...


Once the 'Hey look at me' market saturates...it's all downhill.

If it weren't for the Over msrp, gotta have it gang, they wouldnt have lasted a third year without the fadfishness of it...

Signed,
I drive a stroppe,
You're right, "facts as facts" 😂 But it looks like sales have been increasing (or going "uphill") and the average time on lots is closer to 130 days, not "birthdays" (but it makes you sound cool like a tool 🤣) #ihatejeepstoobuthatemisinformationmore

Annual US Sales History
    • 2021: 89,712 units (Peak year)
    • 2022: 77,855 units
    • 2023: 55,187 units
    • 2024: 42,125 units (Low point)
    • 2025: 56,367 units (Rebound)
Market Factors and Incentives
    • High Inventory: Plentiful supply on dealer lots has led to heavy days-to-turn rates, averaging roughly 130 days on lots.
    • Discounts: Shoppers regularly find leverage to pay roughly 5% (~$2,500+) under sticker price before localized stackable cash rebates.

If three are sold as orders/and gone the day of delivery...
That means something in inventory had a birthday to make that 130day average.

If no one orders one... there are no birthdays.
If anyone orders one... every three orders means something had a birthday.
3:1 orders vs birthdays.

The
Law of averages
Dictates.

  • "Time is a thief" means time slips away from us.
  • "He has a heart of gold" means he is very kind.
  • "The classroom was a zoo" means the room was very loud and wild
My saying 'Having a birthday' was not a decree. It was as the examples above.
But
It is factual.

I wouldn't be surprised if they do a Tremor package or trim on the Ranger. To be honest it's the one thing I expected to see come out for Ranger in the next few years.

Diesel and 6' bed is a long-shot though. I'd love to see it personally, but they tried diesel on the F-150 awhile ago and didn't work out. So if it ain't gonna work on the F-150 doubt we'll see it on the Ranger.

Just wanna say goodbye to some of yall before the ban hammer lands on ya.
Good luck out there dying on your door-count hills and nameplate gatekeeping...
No disrespect intended here but dude some two door owners act like the vegans of the bronco community: they just have to ensure you know they own a two door.
I mean, I would like to have a two door manual, but life dictates otherwise. I feel like the four door is the balanced out version.
It's cool though. I get it. Love your Bronco man. Everyone else really doesn't care if it's a 2D, 4D, MT, Auto.

Someone doesn't understand how averages work.

At this point, adding 4 doors to the Mustang is no more blasphemous than adding 4 doors to the Bronco. A 4 door Mustang while vile imo, is better than the Mach-E.
But I still maintain that the 4dr Bronco is blasphemous and vile.

Hopefully the Bladiator is not fugly like its Jeep sibling when/if it arrives. Not that I have any plans to buy it.

But if a hybrid does arrive and is meaningfully better mpg I may consider updating. My bronco is a DD and sub-18 mpg is no fun at the pump.

I owned a lz0 in a Silverado for a little over a year and they nailed that power train with the 10 spd. Prob not a popular thing to say here but it was killer. I put a lot of miles in a short amount of time and loved it, even my wife noticed how well it drove and misses it. I had other diesels in light duty trucks and that is a winner enough I’d just deal with the extra width over the ranger.

I'd love to see a diesel brought back to the US market or at minimum give us a turbo inline 6 gasser, that would be an amazing powerplant.
