If there’s no demand, there’s no reason for Ford to supply them.
Globalists are behind it all.
That thing is ugly!
The US Chicken Tax.
This would cost as much as an F-150 single cab. Do you really think business customers would choose this over the F-150?
They avoid competition with bigger pickups by not building 2500 or 3500 Suburbans with big engines, which keeps the pickup market strong.
Van options outside the US are way better, too.
Does the US get diesel Rangers? Here in Australia, we get a 2.0L and 3.0L diesel option.

Nah, diesel here is mostly for 3/4 ton trucks or larger. Outside that, you’d need to import or find an older model.
This wouldn’t sell in North America. Here, midsized trucks are for weekend use, not work.

I disagree.

Look at how the Maverick took off—it shows there’s a real demand for small, efficient trucks here.

If they’re just using them for personal stuff, does it matter?

Even if larger trucks aren’t always used for work, people are still buying them. My relative actually bought a Maverick specifically for work. Given the choice, he’d probably go for a single-cab Ranger, too.
@Diego
But would people really want it enough for it to sell?

Honestly, I think there would be a market. You still see tons of older single-cab pickups in farming communities.
In the US, people buy pickups for family use. In Europe, pickups are bought because they’re needed.
Trucks haven’t been the same since the S10. They’re all oversized now.
