It will be interesting to see how this evolves, my suspicion is that this will be some contrivance to save the USA Tundra which is really struggling. |

This would be a different platform to the Thai built Hilux wouldn't it?

I think this is what Nissan did for the first gen Titan, Armada, QX56. They shared platforms with the Frontier/Navara.

Perhaps theres something I don't understand about Platforms, but the American Tacoma & F150 are much longer/wider than the Hilux & Ranger respectively.

i see hilux and all the other thai utes becoming monocoque by 2025
they are bought less and less to tow and for work and are used as family sedans cabin internal dimensions would be greater, more ride comfort too ladder frames will stay for the big boys "my opinion only"

Did some pencil-neck suit just wake up and decide, " Hey, let's make Ranger and F150 on common parts, it's that easy.." I have a feeling that all the intelligent people in the room went.. Quote:
Toyota still can't justify a single design covering all global regions. Quote:
NG T6 Ranger arrives mid-late 2021 and is expected to run for at least eight to ten years. Ford also building versions of Ranger and the Transits for VW around the globe. The latter, Transit has a stamped steel ladder bar chassis, that may be an option for utes waay off in the future. Last edited by jpd80; 09-04-2019 at 06:43 PM. |
