Seems Ford is going to offer a Off road oriented F150
Guess it's different from the Baja oriented Raptor (which took a big hit on towing capacity).
Interested to see how it shakes out...
The bronco range seems to have been a good thing for Ford.

They have to make economical. I know I'm not paying 60-70 for a hyped up 1/2ton. Or whatever they are going for.

Yaaa
Usually an off road truck is like a rally car.
Start with the cheapest thing you possibly can.
But (some)people love to pay top dollar for image.
Saw a sticker on a truck the other day that comes to mind "built not bought"
But they might as well capitalize on the truck aftermarket..
That is capitalism after all.

Think about it for a moment. Ford is thinking about making a pickup truck that’s good off pavement.
I can already see the Consumer Reports reviewers whining about “rough” and “unsophisticated suspension” and “serious trade offs”.

I'd be ok with a more "legacy" body style.
Love the old bullnose fords.

Love the old bullnose fords. The 90's models? They looked good until about 96 when they grafted a Taurus looking front end onto it. Those are the ugliest trucks on the road.

I think what you may be referring to is the introduction of the Tremor off road package for the F150. The Tremor off road package is currently available for the Super Duty. I like it.

I think the collector term Bullnose applies to the 80-86 body style. I can see it looking at them but I’m not sure who collects them.

Ford just beeds to bring back the highboys of the 70s instead of trying to make any fancy crap loaded down with electronic junk.
