blksn8k2 Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Saw this on a Ranger forum: I work at Michigan Assembly where both are going to be built. We just started summer shut down and rumor is when we come back to work in two weeks there will be a pair of pre production Rangers on display in our main isle for all of us to see. If that happens Ill be sure to grab pix and post them up. I would be surprised if anything they might get to see now would be anything other than the current T6 and if it is I doubt taking photos would be allowed. What say you fuzzy?

I think I might know that guy. If its who I think it is, he's one of the fear mongering rumor mill screw you over because you're low seniority types I bitch about in the employee forum. I wouldn't believe it, he probably got it from the stupid local 900 private facebook page, where 99.999999999999999% if what's posted there is bullshit.

PRM Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 There have been sightings of what are thought to be Rangers driving around in CO. Not sure why some feel this is so implausible. http://news.pickuptrucks.com/2017/05/spied-2019-ford-ranger-crew-cab.html http://www.tfltruck.com/2017/06/finally-video-2019-ford-ranger-prototype-public-highway/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PRM Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Leaks?? How do you "leak" a vehicle they have officially announced they are going to produce and is driving around on public roads? Assuming it would be the same trucks driving around in CO, What would be leaked that isn't already out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzymoomoo Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Because it hasn't been publicly seen without camo yet, and I'm pretty sure that Ford wouldn't appreciate a bunch of employees plastering it all over Facebook before they publicly unveil it.

sullynd Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 They could always just show a couple ROW Rangers, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRM Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 The OP said pre-production, so I took that to mean the camo clad versions driving around. Agree they wouldn't show one that appeared finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzymoomoo Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 They could always just show a couple ROW Rangers, no? I suppose, but they say that our version will have a different front end, even though spy shots seem to indicate it won't be as different as we thought or hoped.

fuzzymoomoo Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Remember, if the guy on the Ranger forum is who I think it is, he's a shit-stirrer so anything he says needs to be taken with a huge grain of salt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmc523 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I suppose, but they say that our version will have a different front end, even though spy shots seem to indicate it won't be as different as we thought or hoped. At this point, it seems as if little will change, at least if test vehicles are any indication. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually....well YEARS ago (1989 to be exact) they had a Pre-production 1989 Escort GT that wasn't shown off to the Public yet at Edison assembly (where they built them) My dad took a photo for me...on film!
