I was looking at some info on the next gen ranger tonight and I am sort of confused about when it will launch. Since the Bronco is slated to begin production shortly and the next gen ranger shares a platform, doesn’t that mean the 2022 ranger will be the new generation? All the ranger centric websites point to the 6th gen ranger as a 2023 model which will launch in late 2022. Does this make any sense? Why would Ford roll two platforms out of the same factory for 2022 model year?

But seriously though, ok maybe not, of but but a Ranger from Albert and Zach would we be buying a Granger Ranger?

The ranger site might have some info on this too.
Why? I will venture a guess. It was planned to roll out then, Covid has threw a monkey wrench in plans but they are trying to stick to the plan. Parts rollout may be underway. Eventually they will run out of the old model parts and the new model parts will start arriving. Also the two platforms may share a certain percentage of common parts so it makes keeping track of a multitude of parts less cumbersome. These are all guesses on my part and I am in IT but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night :)

Everyone is pretending the Bronco is a clean sheet design and the 2023 Ranger will be based on the Bronco. The reality, the Bronco is an evolution of the current Ranger and the “new” Ranger will be based on the evolution, including the Bronco. That’s not a criticism, We have a 2020 Ranger in our family stable and it’s excellent. The Bronco adds the 2.7 and a lot of suspension engineering. All good and all driving improvements in the Ranger and Bronco models..
