Although nothing is confirmed, it’s worth mentioning that Ford filed a trademark with the USPTO last month under the name “Ranchero,” which the company promoted as “More than a Car, More than a Truck” in the ’60s and ’70s. Will the Ranchero make a comeback as an electric pickup with a coupe-like design? We will find out soon.

I would love to see the return of car-trucks.

One of my co-workers is very fond of his Kei truck.

Australians are still rocking the Utes, I think

They’re barely hanging on, even there. I’ve always felt they were the perfect compromise on all the inner-city truck uses.

I feel like the Slate is more like an old school ute than a Telo. Telo is kind of its own weird new category.
