Ford releases their financials after the closing bell of the NYSE on Wednesday, July 28th. Perhaps Ford wanted good news to be flurishing before the poor results on Wednesday but I see little connection otherwise.Ford is reporting their second qtr results to the financial market on the 26th. There is a required blackout period some days prior to that. I’m sure that is the reason those with info were required to go dark.
Still hoping they have nice things to add to what we already know.
The Ranger and the Maverick are two completely different markets. The Ranger is for people who want a real truck that has power and high towing capacity. While the Maverick is clearly marketed at people who did not ever think of owning a truck. I know there are people on this forum (including myself) who are in the middle of those two categories, but as a general outlook on the market, I don't think many people who own Rangers now would be happy with Ford no longer selling them and instead selling them an even smaller vehicle with less power and capability.So I’m thinking , That Ford will announce that the Ranger will no longer be sold in United States . And the Maverick will replace the Ranger as of 2022 .
I've owns lots of trucks, but I've decided that a full size truck is a waste for me, 99% of the time the bed is empty and I'm getting crappy mpg with it, I want something that can park in compact spots, zip around in town, easy to get in and out without a step or auto step my current truck has, I want a small truck that can do SUV things and now the Maverick enters.The Ranger and the Maverick are two completely different markets.

I agree completely. Add to that, the Ranger is profitable and is selling very well. A new one is around the corner, and it will no-doubt be better tailored to our market.The Ranger and the Maverick are two completely different markets.

Because I see very very small numbers of them on the roads . And because it’s a very pricey 4 cylinder truck . Which puts Ford right where they were in 2011 . The buyers will and probably are electing to spend an extra three grand to get an F150 with a 6 cylinder engine.I agree completely. Add to that, the Ranger is profitable and is selling very well.

Why even speculate that the Ranger is on it's way out? Ridiculous.
