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.

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.

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

I own a lightning, and the size of the thing is my only complaint.

Even the Ranger is pretty big. A BEV Maverick would be cool, though.

Nothing like a big ass truck to uncover how stupid you might be if you got the thing just to drive around to and from work. Now if you got things you need to howl around, I can understand.

Ford lagging GM here on the universal platform. Every GM EV is on their Ultium modular platform now
