"Ford created a social media storm this week when it appeared to tease a mysterious new pickup truck. It all started when Mike Levine, Ford’s North America Communications Manager, teased on Twitter that there’s "Some super cool truck news coming this week. Will meet a huge unmet need.”
This led to some wild speculation that he was alluding to the long-requested Ranger Raptor launching in the US. His response? "All this Ranger speculation about this week’s truck news. If you like small trucks you won’t be disappointed,” he teased. "We don't comment on speculation about future products. We may, however, tease them. Can't believe there haven't been spy photos.”
Ford then released a teaser video of its unannounced truck. It had all the hallmarks of a typical new model teaser trailer, showing engineers working on the model, some design sketches, and a shot of the new model under a sheet."
I took those first three paragraphs from this article:

There was even the thought that Ford was about to announce the return of the smaller Ford Courier:

But as you can see, Mike Levine and Ford trolled us.
The big news was a truck emoji.
