Love it. Wonder if they’ll have just as much delivery issues as the Bronco.

Finally a decent looking midsize truck that doesn’t look like a minivan with a bed on it. Besides the JT of course.

It’s always a matter of opinion, but my opinion is that the only Ford that would compete with a Gladiator is a Bronco Truck. Removable roof and doors are required to truly be competitive for me.

I have owned three Ford Rangers over the years and I am not hating on them. I think this will definitely be the best one yet. Assuming the quality isn’t crap.

I realize that for some, the removable nature of a Gladiator, may not be as big of a deal as it is to me.

Looks like it's coming down the same assembly line as the Bronco. If that's the case. Have fun getting one.

Love the looks, hate the lack of physical buttons. I like buttons, why does every mfg take them away???

 

[Jglad15]

Why does ford keep insisting on doing these tablet infotainment systems. Yuck. Truck looks good though.

 

[Lunentucker]

OMG! It's so ugly. No way that thing's going to be any kind of competition for the JT. Just completely undesirable in every way.
I wouldn't even call it a truck.

I'm gonna guess $60k msrp with $25k adm. 85k for 1st year.

If you can even find one.

Ford is STILL going through the pre-orders for Bronco's out from all the way back in 2020, especially if, god forbid, you want the hard top.

If they can't even fulfill existing orders on a 2-3 year old vehicle, then it may as well not even exist. I understand that A LOT of stuff has happened that made the problem worse, but at some point Ford has to admit that they screwed up.

I expect the same issues that have plagued the Bronco launch to handicap the Ranger Raptor.

 

[RedBearon]

Who's gonna tell them...

 

[Kirk*Mojave]

No doubt it will be a neat truck, but actually taking delivery of one is a different story.

 

[CoachA]

Looks good to me. I got over 350k miles out of the one Ranger I owned. But, where the heck do you mount a winch on the new rig? And, those tailpipes are going to be crushed flat, like beer cans, the first time they encounter a serious rock garden.

 

[Chocolyle]

Is that the new Chevy? I can't tell. Stupid engineer's they have another 12" to make it bigger.

Soon there will be some jack wagon with a white FORD sticker covering half of their windshield on one of these.

Wish the logo was bigger so we knew who the manufacturer was.
