x2I’m liking the direction. Better than the ranger’s front end. Nice & squared off makes it a bit more masculine. Aftermarket options will allow change of that grill if one wanted. Let’s hope it doesn’t have the ugly avalanche style wings from the cab to the bed.
I agree. They seem to be adopting the Jeep mentality. Small entry level vehicle Compass/Maverick), midsize next step up vehicle (Cherokee/Ranger), full size vehicle (Grand Cherokee/F150), large size vehicle (Waggoner/F250). Keep the overall design points similar among all trucks in the lineup. Gain that brand loyalty & get future purchases. Ford is all in on the trucks, Mustang & Bronco brands. I’m guessing the next reset the Escape, (maybe that raised wagon Fusion), Edge?, Explorer & Expedition will adopt the same design thinking.x2
The current Ranger is an overseas model that will soon be replaced by a next-generation Ranger. It should build on the real truck styling seen here. My hope is that it looks closer to a baby F-150, sort of like this:

I think the Ranger is made in the US whereas this pic was snapped in the Mexico plant where they build the Bronco Sport.Am I seeing things or is there separation between the cab and the bed? Doesn’t look unibody to me. I’m really hoping this is the Maverick but from other threads it seems possible that this is actually a new Ranger prototype. Thoughts?
The Ranger is made in Michigan it shows online. The Maverick is to be made in Mexico. I think he may be talking about the renders above in silver/grey [im colorblind]. Pretty sure that is a Ranger render. It looks like that other one that is maybe blue from awhile back & looks like the green one that is a lot more finished.I think the Ranger is made in the US whereas this pic was snapped in the Mexico plant where they build the Bronco Sport.
Are you talking about the separation where it looks like there's a separate bed behind the rear door? Probably still unibody underneath but that panel may be a removable piece for repair instances.
I think it will look like this a lot, but it will loose the Bronco Sport body lines in order to keep separation & if you look at the bare metal photos its more in line with a mini Ranger/F150 styling.
That was what I was talking about. I appreciate the response. That panel would make sense. I was looking for someone to calm my nerves and you did just that.I think the Ranger is made in the US whereas this pic was snapped in the Mexico plant where they build the Bronco Sport.

It looks really nice, but that is not a unibody truck. See the separation between the body & bed? Also the front doors are from the F150. The small badging at the front fender/door says F150. I do hope the front end does look like this for the Maverick.Here is a render by Carsbite for 2022 Ford Maverick according to this spyshot:
