A F100 to replace the gone Ranger would be awesome!

Actually F-100 is not Ranger's replacement.

F-100 will be a mid-size truck and Ranger will stay in a production as small truck.

Well if Ford makes its money from Trucks and SUVS than why not have more trucks to choose from. I guess more truck models should equal larger market share in a profitable truck market.

I think it would be wise for Ford to keep the full size trucks for people who actually use pickups for work and have a line of smaller, lighter, dare I say unit body pickups for the "casual" truck users.
I mean, does a half ton pickup that gets used occasionally for hauling garden stuff, bikes, home depot runs, etc need a fully boxed extra heavy duty steel frame?

Maybe it's time for a Ranchero like truck to come back, but still make it look like an F-series truck, but with a 4 cylinder or V6 as engine choices.

the f100 is not to replace the f150, just to go along next to it. it could be a unibody larger scale piece though. i would like to see this concept drawing in the flesh, could be really cool.

I'll take it in the 400hp twin turbo V6, thanks.

Correct. F-100 will be competing against Toyota Tacoma and Nissan Frontier. F-100 will replace Explorer Sport Trac.

Isn't the F100 unibody?
When did they announce for sure that the Ranger was still alive?
Last I saw it dies in 2009 and nothing for 2010, then the new T6.

The F100 is not unibody although at one point that idea was apparently bounced around. According to the latest info the F100 is the revitalization of the on-again, off-again program to build a mid-size, BOF truck off the F150's platform. Some rumors say the truck is going to ape the 97-03 era trucks in size, but I seriously doubt this since such a truck would be far too close to the current F150 in size and would simply serve to divide the full size truck segment at Ford between two full size 1/2 ton models. If the F100 is to be similar in size to an older gen Ford full-size my money is on the 80-96 model trucks.

As for Ranger, you are both correct. The Ranger will stay in production as a small truck, switching to the T6 platform for the 2011MY, but is is apparently going to take the two year hiatus you indicate before that occurs.

Really cool looking! I like Rangers, but more cab space is always welcome. Hope it gets into production, cuz It'll be a good replacement for one or both of my rides.

But how often has Stehrenberger's vision of what really shows up come close.....Not often, I think.
