It looks like a kids ride-on toy...just cartoonish plastic nonsense... -
They are there, right below the screen in the center stack slab.

I know there are people that still buy used small trucks, my older brother is on his 3rd Ranger in 20 years now (recently bought a clean '09 Super Cab 4x4). He doesn't haul much beyond dog food. I couldn't see him buying the new one--too expensive and fancy for him.
-
It's good they offer choice of trims... I don't care for the Rebel with it's weird grille and strongly dislike black trim, but the dark red one w/ chrome and silver looks great to me. I'm not a truck guy, but if I ever needed one, I'd consider a Ram. I like the looks of the 12-inch UConnect screen...
-
Is there still a market for such trucks anymore, though?
-
Im waiting until Saturday to wash the Jeep again. Supposed to be in the 50s. Was snowing off and on all day today.
-
Wowza. They could have made the grille larger, and had light clusters in the grille.

The last Jetta I drove had the funky seat adjuster. Can't recall if the Passat did.
-
Makes me think of a show car version of the Tesla Model S. similar styling. Some jntesting details. -
-
As far as German qualities, I wonder if the seats will be hard and it will still have the funky ratchet for the seat height adjustment.
-
It is what it is...Ford just federalized a vehicle they have built and sold in other markets since 2011. Probably a very small investment. Also this generation of Ranger has always been 4/5 cylinder. Presumably not engineered for a V6. With the 'One Ford' playbook the Ranger is their global small truck, too big of a risky investment to do something smaller and cheaper. I'm curious what the towing capacity will be. And how that number with compare with the Coloyon and Taco .
-
Murican made in Tennnesee I assume.
-
oooh...lens flare...JJ Abrams around? Not sure what I'm looking at..is that a C-shaped light at the end of the grille center spear or a reflection off the chrome? And a vertical vent in the jowl area..
-
I think his is a '17, though? They changed the shifter in '17. My '14 has this shifter: While the '17-18 has this shifter:
-
I haven't driven anything yet w/ that knob, but I'd probably like it. I'm surprised Jeep hasn't used it yet. My Jeep has the funky small shifter that stays in place (move forward and back to shift then it returns to the center).
-
For automatics, the shifter should be on the column rather than wasting console space that could better be used for storage cubbies.
-
Well, that is of it's time and place...same era of excess that gave the world the '59 Impala. This new design is lumpy and weird...lots of pointless fender bulging, overdone bumper, weird details, etc. At least the headlights on the new Chevy are slim rather than the oversized nonsense seen on the F series.
-
As far as the Ram front bumper, it would have been cleaner had the tow hook slots been part of the center slot rather than the bulging lower slots that look like an afterthought, IMO...
-
It's going to be interesting to see the new trucks in person. I definitely like the Ram the best of the big 3..the new Chevy front is too busy, as is the existing F-series. Except for the bumper, the Ram is the cleanest overall, IMO.

Well, the T6 Ranger was engineered in Australia, so it was RHD before LHD.....though in the first version of the T6 ('11-14) the shifter looks centered in the console. But if you look at the '15-18 interior, the shifter seems to have moved towards the passenger, and the new NA version is kind of the mirror image of the this. 2019 NA version:
-
The seat surfaces look like molded plastic floor mats with those grooves. Hopefully they are softer than they look. Not bad looking, a bit generic in profile..so many semi-fastback 6 window greenhouses out there today.
-
Since the MCE in '16 it seems Chevy has been trying to make the Silverado more and more overwrought looking. They haven't looked good since '14-15, IMO.
-
After looking at pics of the new 'Rado, Ram and the current F150, once again the Ram has the best looking face of the bigguns, IMO... wonder what the Sierra will look like.

Probably variations for various trims..not sure what is going on in the horizontal bar that splits the grille below the light cluster..are those lights and vents?
-
Found a front closeup on Japlopnik....there is a lot going on here, very busy design..
