- Ford has mastered the re-launch with the Ford maverick and the Ford Bronco, and they haven’t finished yet.
Now there may be plans to re-launch the Ford Ranchero.
Join us today as we explore the Ford Ranchero and how this iconic model could see huge success just like the Maverick did.
The all new Ford Ranchero is coming soon, and it looks like it could be a better option than the Ford Maverick!
I think it would be a good idea if they simply take a maverick and make one a 2 door with a 6 1/2 foot bed. If want to call that a ranchero or not thats up to you I guess.
Agree -- use the Maverick platform
Yup, a 2 door maverick with a longer bed would be all I need. I just wish Toyota would get their ass in gear and build one.
Yes that's why I initially loved the Santa Cruz concept, because it reminded me of the Subaru Brat. I wanted a 2 door, not a full on 4 door. I mean damn we don't all need 4 doors for hauling kids.
I wanted a maverick but couldn't find one. My wife loved the Santa Cruz so we got one in July. Myself, I'd like 2 door Ranchero with a 6 food bed, small v8 and manual transmission. I can dream.
@@DaveJBL they are. It’s expected to come out 2024. I believe they are going with the Hilux name
A waste of time. Very little actual information about a new Ranchero.
Thank you for saving me time
You’re a blessing to this earth
Didnt ford try this just a few years ago . I believe it was called a sport track.😂😂
Thank you for saving me the time.
Basically all this channel is
I always said the should make a Ranchero out of the Ford Flex wagon and swap on the Taurus (updated) front end. 2 doors , 2 seats, 6 foot bed. Run every conceivable powertrain. 4cyl / turbo, 6 cyl / turbo. Hybrid and all electric.
Yes! Love my 2014 Flex. Daily driver that can also haul a 8 foot ladder with the rear hatch closed.
I can haul a 12’ ladder in my Taurus and almost close the trunk lid!
I never thought much of the flex until we got some at work. they now have near 200.000 miles and drive great have been reliable and very comfortable a ranchero would be awesome
The flex platform might work pretty good. Position it as a bit of a Muscle car with a useful truck bed, They could probably use the flex platform for that. And give it enough power to feel somewhat fun and old school appealing.
I have a Maverick and, while I admire several very good traits it has, there are clear deficiencies in the design. Ford could address those shortcomings with this Ranchero. Being built on the same platform, one would expect this new truck to be built with the same wheelbase. By eliminating the rear seats, Ford will have plenty of room to include a FULL 6' bed. Not all drivers have any use for a back seat but would appreciate an efficient pick up that can actually haul a full sized load. I would envision a Ranchero as a lower priced, lighter weight and more economical model alongside the existing Maverick.
That is why I went with the Ranger. The bed is just too short. The Ranger offers a 6' bed.
Supercab!
Right up to the point some nitwit overloads it and flips on a dirt road. .. the maverick executes it design parameters perfectly.. the ranchero will do everything you asked for
No reclining rear seats and it won't sell.
@@DaveCM That's why I went with the F150. Needed an 8ft bed. Funny thing is... my F150 is about the same as the Ranger MPG wise.
🇺🇸👍🏽
Had to laugh at 17% price increase on the f150 to remain profitable.. BS. My 2019 was 39k otd.. same package and truck today 67k.
I had a 68 and a 72 Ranchero. Loved the both. Would like to have a modern version of one but it has to have a useful bed length. 4 feet just doesn't cut it. You can put longer stuff than that in a mini van.
Not sure who is buying these "trucks", guess it's fine if you put groceries in the bed and the occasional potted plant.
@@troytroyus913 haha me. Don’t need to haul anything other than occasional home improvement trips and recreational gear
yeah but it's still a mini van.
@@ssimpala1901 And there is nothing wrong with a minivan or normal van for that matter. Or even a wagon. All great designs that got the job done well before the bloated soccer mom SUVs.
@@troytroyus913 These are not trucks for farmers or construction workers. They are for people who haul small things like the occasional load of dirt or mulch for gardening or a piece of furniture to help a friend out. That's what small trucks have always been for. I'm glad we are getting back to small trucks instead of oversized POS that people can't park and just drive to the mall with their 7.0L diesel. I like the Maverick but I would still rather have an S-10. I really do wish trucks would go back to being a work vehicle and not a massive luxury family hauler with a bed that rarely if ever gets used. Crew cabs are meant to haul work crews around not families nor are they meant to be super comfortable. Family hauler with a small bed should be delegated to something mid sized like the Explorer truck. It holds a family of 5, small bed can handle most things people do and on the super rare occasion more cargo room is needed for say 2x4s, Uhaul rents trailers super cheap for that 1 day out of the year.
There are some market demand Gems in here. I've been waiting decades for something I actually Want, as well as something baseline (chrome and poly is absolute global garbage. Give me a Long and Wide well-less sprayed in) pickup bed and a three seat he
Give me a six foot (+2' extension Poly Bed with 4+' Wide well-less, sprayed on) bed that can't rust and a two seated cab for baseline under $20k and I will buy it.
Nope 2 seats don't work in today's world. Just look at jeep 4 doors sell 10 to 1 to 2 doors
If they make a two door Ranchero, I hope they don't make it a "regular" cab. A super cab would be much better. I'm just talking about my experience with full sized trucks and a regular cab tends to be cramped for anyone over 6 feet tall. The behind seat storage would be a nice bonus, too.
I dont think it will go over well. The maverick might as well of been called the Ranchero. suv's are the cars of today and the Maverick was built off an suv platform much like the way ute's were built off cars of yesterday. I dont think a lot of people will want a two seather when you can have a maverick. The maverick hits all the marks and trust me its a great light duty work truck. i know because i own one.
Yep. Everyone I speak to about the maverick asks if I'm talking about the old car. They should have named the maverick the Ranchero. Something tells me if they do come out with a rancharo it will be a more expensive version of the maverick.
@@TehShadowDeath right? But ford really did hit the mark on this one. So far I've had 35 boxes of what felt like 50 pound vinyl flooring that pretty much maxed out the payload and a bunch of 4x8 sheets of OSB the truck handle it just fine. It hulls so much stuff then you can actually use it as a daily driver . If you drive conservatively it will get ok gas mileage. Plus we took it camping and it fit everything and still had room for 5 people.
I want that Ranchero.
They should just make a 2 door Maverick with a 6 foot bed, keep the same wheel base for towing. Whats this Ranchero stuff?
@@jeffk464 Yeah. Supercab!
If Ford makes the bed of the Ranchero 5.5' - 6' it may attract Gen Z'ers who are into outdoor sports like dirt biking , mtn biking, kayaking etc who aren't looking to start families yet and two seats are more than enough.
Fake news lol this is based on NOTHING nice narration though
the guy should run for office he spoke for 8 minutes and didn't say anything.
Dodge would be smart to bring out a quick sporty hybrid Dakota that’s cheap but well done interior and mpgs
Dodge is well behind the curve on this concept and will likely be bailed out financially due to the economic climate again and forced to EV only.
Would have been smart of them but toooo late.
They could have or should have made a Challenger with a bed like the old Ranchero. There are artist's concepts on the web.
Currently have ‘64 and ‘71 Rancheroes and a 2023 Maverick Lariat on order, so a new Ranchero would be great. They failed to mention that Ford of Australia continued to produce a Ranchero-type “Ute” for many years after it was cancelled in North America.
It will be interesting to see how gm would copy them
Hey, Ford, build a COMPACT pickup (like the original Ranger) with a single cab and 6 foot bed.
Yeah if they make the ranchero 2 door long bed small like the 2011 and old ranger or might as well do that with a maverick make a 2 door longer bed version
Thats an idea
I love the maverick and cheaper smaller trucks, the size and cost of full size trucks is ridiculous, add to that bad transmission and high cost of ownership its just crazy I want to haul plywood and such for my home projects but not in a 40000$ to 80000@ truck!
I like the old Chrysler minivans with the Stow-n-go seating. Fold seats into the floor and carry 4 x 8' sheets inside!
No WAY! This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for. The ranchero name for one, I was so disappointed in the maverick for what should obviously be called a Ranchero but if they planned on this 2 door all along that's undeserved criticism. 2 door finally! Looks better and is more functional, unless you're a soccer mom. Love it.
Should have been called the Courier
yep! the maverick shoulda been the Ranchero.
@@fatboyhtownholitdown8932 If they're coming out with a 2 door version, I'd rather that be called the ranchero. They could have just made a 4 door and 2 door ranchero. That makes the most sense to me but we'll see what they come out with.
@@LifeisGood762 true
I proudly own a 1958 Ford Ranchero. Now going over 30 years. Best truck/car i have ever owned. It’s fixed up. It’s been in many magazines and all over the internet. Huge thumbs up to Ford for wanting to bring this back to the public. 😊 i can’t wait to see it and own a new Ranchero
I can understand the concept for this, main thing is will dealers cooperate? Personally the 4 door Maverick fits my family's needs better however for small business owners and light delivery companies the Ranchero would be a better fit. However if they can't keep dealers from gouging the customers then there will be issues. My main question though since I remember the the original small Rangers and S10s (chevy Luv anyone) why they thought the Small Pickup market ever went away? And no offense I liked the steel rims look on the Maverick, some others may agree with me. To me biggest disappointment with the Maverick's xlt and Lariat packages was I couldn't replace those ugly aluminum rims with the cheaper steal rims and save a few bucks. I don't care for the enabling 360 "safety" junk since I actually pay attention to my surroundings while driving and not that addicted to my cellphone. Do to some joint issues had the xl had cruise control it would have been the base model all the way for me.
The XL has cruise control standard for 2023, but the order banks are full and now closed.
@@Wally56S figures lol thanks for the info
My 1986 S-10 is still my favorite vehicle that I have ever owned. Should have never sold it
@@bigsarge I can understand that lol. Wouldn't might a few of my older cars back myself especially the metal bumper ones. 😂😂😂😂
The 1957 Ranchero was one of the coolest looking vehicles ever. Make it again !
They need to use more of their foreign models that have good mpg and durability but nooo they don’t think they’ll sell well lol
Blame the damn chicken truck tax, wish they got rid of it
Mostly so i can buy a Volkswagon Amarok
@@TheOriginalSeveth They can just build them here. The “new” Ranger originated in the overseas markets first and a long time before they released them in the US. They don’t ship those here…
I can see a Ranchero doing light duty work making runs to Home Depot for city/burbs owners who don't need a 4x4 or ever go overlanding.
Not everyone needs a Super Duty. Everyone needs a truck. 🚛
Not me, I need an all wheel drive wagon that can tow 4,000 pounds and get great gas mileage. Actually make a Ford Flex type version of the Maverick and I'm in, 2 row seats and lots of cargo area. Somebody did this digitally with the Santa Cruz and it was awesome.
If you order your Maverick, the dealership has to sell it at MSRP. That’s what I did.
I had 1970 Ranchero G T with 429 4 speed and a 1977 Ranchero GT loved both of them
can't wait for those dealer markups !
2 door Maverick with a longer bed would be a winner
I have a 1962 Ranchero. 1968 200 six cylinder . 1996 T5 5speed manual tranny. Duel exhaust headers .with one barrel carburetor. 27 highway . 20 city .
Interesting video. One comment: the Maverick isn’t a relaunched vehicle. It’s an all new vehicle. Ford just resurrected the name, but the original Maverick was totally different.
Yeah they keep bringing back names of muscle cars and bring them back as trucks. I want a ute Im about to make my mustang into a ranchero cause you dont see mustang ranchero's and i just want to carry stuff in my car without needing to pay an arm and leg for an f150 or ranger.
When an automaker makes a vehicle with NO COMPUTER; THEN YOU GOT SOMETHING.
The problem with the maverick is dealerships that have them has added 10,000 -12,000 on top of the sticker. I looked at one a few months back and it had a sticker of 26,??? And they told me to add 10,000 to that sticker. I asked if they would give me 10,000 over sticker for mine and the guy just laughed and said NO.
Before prices got stupid, they (base models) were 19,500 MSPR. So they didnt quite add 10k.
These videos are literally just all speculative nonsense. Stop wasting peoples time with your clickbait fiction.
The only way I'd buy one is if it had a useful bed. NOT A 4FT BED...single cab, no back seat and a 6.5 foot bed.
To me, it's going to be hard to beat the Explorer Sport Trac. That was was an amazing utility vehicle but again the dealers were gouging the customers and it's just a memory thanks to greed.
It's funny how long hoods used to be for no reason, I had a 70 Chrysler Newport with about a foot of space between the radiator and the tip of the grill, or a giant sedan with two super long doors to be "sporty"
That extrat length made them easier to repair in a moderate crash
@@timothykeith1367 good point, a crumple zone for the engine!
My two door Chrysler had doors nearly six feet long!
No friggin way! Ford is not serious about this Ranchero!!!!!! Yuck! Dont do it Ford. Stick with the Maverick and get them out to the dealers.
They'll make both shortbus
@@metallicafan416 they can't even make one. Trying to order a 23 Maverick in Canada seems impossible. And tons of people getting 22s rolled over and it's not even an automatic process
Give us a two door ranger
Make a plugin hybrid Maverick, and I'm in or make them more easily available. 2023 is already sold out. You need to get that Blue Oval built pronto.
I get 32mpg in my '22 Ford Maverick AWD 2.0 4cyl turbo. It's a great little truck!
The maverick is basically the ranchero🤷
I would buy one!…without the turbo and must be a standard.
I've been waiting for Ford to bring this back. These days, with gas prices as high as they are, a lower profile vehicle would get better gas mileage. Besides, I'm sure something like that would be fun to drive.
I opted for the '23 Maverick and ordered one the day order bank opened. They're already sold out in a matter of days. Now let's see if Ford can actually build and deliver them..
I'm still waiting on the my hybrid XLT I ordered back in Aug 21... All prospective Maverick owners get a nice lesson in patience =)
I like the uni-body design of the Maverick! 2023 should be equipped with a Plug-In Hybrid! The escape has it! Why not the Mav?
The idea of affordable transportation has always been a hit. If the reliability is as good as traditional Ford Truck products it will be huge addition for Ford.
The thing I liked about the 79 El Camino I had was the large bed low to the ground and the adjustable air shocks for heavier loads. It wouldn't take much to put a little compressor on board to make this simpler. They have to be very high quality air shocks so they last decades.
It is a shame that it will not come with a manual. That would be an interesting vehicle.
Wrong. The Ranchero was also marketed as a "Muscle Car" as the Ranchero GT. The El Camino was not marketed as JUST a Muscle Car. It was also marketed as just a base El Camino.
I heard that the Maverick has been so successful that it is causing huge problems for Toyota and it's ever popular RAV4. I just recently got a RAV4 that's the 2015 model at my local Ford dealership as a result of the trade-in. I'm going to have to admit it's an excellent vehicle.
My very first car was a 66 Ranchero beautiful car that my dad gave me that he bought new. All I can say if this new Ranchero has four doors it's not a Ranchero. Only two doors, Ford never made a four-door Ranchero. It would look so cool as a two-door, but Ford probably won't make it like that. Everybody wants four doors and they don't care how ugly it makes the vehicle look. If it's a two-door I'll probably buy one if it's a four-door I won't even waste my time.
If they make a 2 door with a 6 or 7 foot bed and Awd I'd be interested, otherwise they can keep it. Too many 4 door option out there for crossovers. Keep it simple, leave out all the nonsense touch screens, put the gear shift on the column bench seat and maybe a 5 or 6 speed manual option too. Not everyone wants/needs all the gadgets and gizmos. Lots of old 80's and 90's trucks coming out of fields and being put back to work because nobody builds a compact work truck anymore.
Bring back the old Ranger with the updated engine/drive setup. It needs a full frame and separate bed and available without a bed. Lots of people want a tool box bed or flat bed.
None of the big car makers can produce what they have now....maybe do that first.
Short nose, bucket seat for the driver a 2 seat bench next to it, a foot and a half extra space behind the seat, a 5 foot bed.
All Terran (AT) tires. 1 extra inch of ground clearance over vehicle it's based on, lean on the boxy side of styling on the bed side. Anticipate sales of a successful NICHE product
But.... does it get 42 mpg?
My sister had a Maverick Grabber. So, for me, the Maverick name belongs on a sporty, 2-door coupe, not on a pickup truck.
A proper Ranchero, especially as a PHEV to negate range anxiety, would be worth considering when it comes time to trade in one of the current vehicles.
the original Ford Maverick is one of my favorite compact sport cars. I was a little upset when the name was given to a truck.
Agree with you, first car was a new 72 Maverick. The New Maverick should have been the Ranger few years ago, heck it's almost as big as a F 150 already!!!
I doubt Ford will produce and/or sell this in the U.S. but will probably offer it in other markets. Almost no one buys any kind of utility vehicle that doesn't have easy access to storage space behind the front seat(s).
Looks more like the late year Sport-Trac's
Oh for god sakes, bringing back nameplates that are the opposite of what they were. What’s next, the el Camino is coming back as a full size EV?
Well using the FWD architecture makes practical sense a truck bed with a mustang front clip and that 5.0 would be a lot more exciting.
If you can get it in a 2-door, AWD and without that halfass looking rollbar for twenty grand, it could be big.😮
I will buy another Ford after this with the customer service I’ve been afforded. It’s horrible. They sold the car but lost the future customer
Bring back the Edsel name with that iconic female body part grille
I just want a TWO door extended cab small truck. If you're doing away with cars then why not make it?
Biggest problem with the Ford I’d finding one. Then there is the dealer mark up (greed).
Hyundai has double the warranty.
They should match the Ranchero with the Airstream Base Camp.
I don't see a point in a new Ranchero. Why don't they just offer a two door Maverick with a 6ft bed.
your channel is a joke, all it is is click bait, everyone needs to block. Those photo shops are terrible, the Ranchero will not happen!
If you going to bring back something old like that use the original bodys style but new parts instead of turning awesome cars into trucks
I'd buy one if the price was under 25K
Not news, speculation and is all BS.... Ford will not come out with a smalll 2 door truck.
Please go with the two door and then if you want make us the cab a little bit bigger put the small door if possible but two doors the way to go thank you
Talk about Shrink-flation.. first is food and now Cars... what next?
Has anyone seen what dealer are charging for mavericks......lets be real
Ford could have simply made a better ranger and kept it the same size as the old ones that actually sold well.
I can see the need for the Ranchero. I would be interested in looking at it for a everyday driver
Never understood why they ever stopped making that style car
I'm all in at a two-door truck. I'm all in and would put in my deposit the day I can.
click bait. Dislike.
Ford's handling of the mavericks launch has been disastrous for consumers. Thousands and thousands of people have been waiting over a year for their order, Ford knew they sold far more than they could make, but continued selling. I'll be trading mine in as soon as there's a competitor. Garbage company.
Let's see you run a company of that magnitude. A company trying to run with material and chip shortages. Did they make some mistakes I'm sure. But I'll take my Fords over gm or dodge any day.
@@kirkcardoso6137 there's no need to white knight for Ford. There's also no need to try to create some ridiculous scenario like challenging some random Internet commenter to run a multi billion dollar company. If you think year+ long waits with constantly changing communication, dates moving without notice, constraints that aren't shared by other manufacturers (bed liners? Bed extenders? Really?) Are all ok... Then I'm not sure what to say to you. I have reasonable and fair expectations as a customer, and Ford is not meeting them. Incidentally, the closest thing to competitors to a hybrid maverick are not having these communication and production disasters. What you prefer is completely irrelevant.
4 doors makes no sense to me, the Ranchero sounds perfect!
So the two doors in the back are helpful for times when you have passengers, it gives them access to the backseat.
I would envision the Ranchero to be a coupe utility (that's half car and half truck) that's V8 powered, rear wheel drive, and a long bed to haul some stuff, also no stupid EcoBoost engines, to me they just don't hold up over time.
I remember saying just last year the muscle cars with the pickup bed needed to make a comeback. I want something that I can load with common building materials, but not be so heckin' huge. My 2018 Ford is difficult to work with; I may go for a Chevy when prices drop since I could get in the bed easier.
dont forget the standard transmission option or youll miss a large market
Both Ford and GM have been selling these little trucks for years in Brazil.
“Ford underestimated the demand for an affordable pickup truck.” 90% of America is crying out for affordable vehicles. The average price has absolutely skyrocketed to almost 35k for cars that used to be “entry level” vehicles. Wages have been stagnant for years. People are getting car loans for 84 months….. That is completely out of control. We need a massive change right now and yet it seems nothing can be done. We’re completely at the mercy of these massive corporations and dealerships that still have $4000 dollar markups.
@Ari GSD exactly that’s absurd. It’s like buying a house that depreciates. Nobody should be buying cars that doesn’t have a household income of 200k or more but everyone is.
I had a 66 ranchero. Fun car. I was young. Everything I owned fit in the back.
No, thanks. Toyota Hilux rules!
Lets bring back the Pinto name!
Boom
Make it REAR wheel drive - like a Ranchero...
If they wanted a really good idea instead of using the focus platform or the fusion platform or whichever the one they're using, go with the Taurus platform throw in the 5.5 l EcoBoost make it rear wheel drive and call it the ranchero 500 and for God's sake make it only a two-door not a four-door, the ranchero was never and I repeat never a four-door!
I have a 73 Ranchero, and would love to own a new Ranchero.
My dad had an El Camino, but Mom shot holes in it one night.
The Cowboy Cadillac
So it will be made in Mexico just like the Maverick. The reason production was stopped was from quality problems.
They should just make an Access Cab Maverick and forget launching yet another marque.
with a six ft bed and a bench front seat so that a “small” third person could be squeezed in. And with enough room in the back of the cab for the dog.
I really want it. Please make it in the USA!
I thing the Ranchero will be a hit, I would be interested in buying one , loved them before . I think it's a great time for this vehicle like the Maverick is !
I don’t think a Ranchero would be as successful because of the 3 seat cab and most people want more off road style today. Not to say they couldn’t build a good customer base using after market accessories to “HOT ROD” it.
An AWD Ecoboost Ranchero would be incredibly fun
