Ford already has a small size pickup - it's called the Ranger.

Club cab for 3rd or 4th passenger for short drives

They have barely lost any value since new. Simple to work on, rugged (frame), good MPG, small enough to actually use for work (IE put cylinder heads in the bed and get em out when you get to the machine shop without a step ladder or climbing on the tire...)

Ford already has a small size pickup - it's called the Ranger. Too wide and too high for urban environments. Need low lift over like Ford Transit Connect. Like just make a Promaster City or Ford Connect long wheelbase, BUT with El Camino back end. Same front front fenders, grille, etc. to keep cost down.

Ford already has a small size pickup - it's called the Ranger. As someone else said, still too big. Not sure if its 100% true but I heard the new ranger is as big as a late 90's F150 for comparison sake. You'll still need at least a 3/4 ton to tow anything decent but these "mini trucks" could take a serious bite out of the mall crawler market seeing as they'll probably cost half as much as a 1500.

Expect to see this soon if the Ford sells well Put the 2-door’s 66” bed on the club cab front end Should end up with around a 196” vehicle. 3” longer than my 68 Barracuda. ![[Linked Image]](https://autotrends.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/ram-700-5.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://autotrends.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/ram-700-1.jpg) Doesn’t need to be that jacked up in the air either.

A modern el camino/ranchero would be cool to see, but they'd never sell. People think they need 4 doors to drive around all by themselves now.
For the most part only 1/2 ton and larger trucks hold their value. The Dakotas, Colorado's ect depreciate fast and then get bounced around between CL and used car lots once they get so many miles on them.

We are developing a delivery culture. Small 2-doors could fit that. But that’s why I was thinking club cab. With 3rd door or just fold down front seat access. That tightens things up and allows for more room in bed.
