At first glance... it looks a bit underwhelming. Raptor should have been left to the full size truck... Ranger and Bronco should have had their own name.
I saw some recent sales figures for the mid size truck segment. Toyota owns it. Period.
There is still stuff to figure out with the new gen offering... I just hope Ford had their sites set high enough.
I agree about the name. If I say Raptor you should know exactly what I'm talking about. I especially think the Bronco should have a name that's horse related.
Ford shouldn't be chasing the midsized competition, it should be leading it.
