Ford trucks can be vehicles of the past.

I lost interest in ford when they killed the Fiesta/Focus.

If the ever actually decided to make a truck that wasn't the size of a small barge with a proper bed I wouldn't be upset.

The Ford Ranger with a supercab has a 6ft bed. It's about the size of the older f-150.

Fair point, as far as "modern" trucks go that one is reasonable-ish.

My dream car is a Ford ranger (or slightly smaller) sized cabover with an 8 foot bed. Something like a modern take on the Japanese Kei cars but with actual power (maybe electric) and towing capacity. It doesn't need to be able to move a 40' fifth wheel filled to the brim with atvs and motorcycles but just enough for a trailer with a ride on lawnmower or similar.

That sounds like an awesome truck, honestly.

You want to work us to death? Save that lil pension money?

The answer is that the line must always go up, preferably at a faster rate every year. The cruelty and contempt for workers is just a bonus. capitalist-laugh

Plans of the past can be implemented. Plans of the future are nothing but handwaving.

Let’s have more plans of the past combined with some integrity.

Or, we say goodbye to yet another “too big to fail” corporation.
