New 2022 Ford Ranchero Redesign, Specs, Release Date, Price – Pickup trucks are becoming more popular each year. While most of the market is still dominated by traditional body-on-frame pickup trucks and trucks, unibody designs have become more and more popular. The Blue Oval company will soon add such a vehicle to its fleet. This is the return of Ranchero, and recent reports suggest that it will be a similar design.
2022 Ford Ranchero Specs
The 2022 Ford Ranchero would be the new model. It would be a replacement for the Courier and would have a unibody design. It would also be available in North America. We expect the new pickup to be significantly larger and more powerful. There will also be many engine options, including diesel. Some forms of electrification may also be possible.

Exterior
The platform is naturally the first thing to come to mind when thinking about this pickup. The 2022 Ford Ranchero, as we have already stated, would be larger than the Courier. It is built on the subcompact Fiesta. The new model would also be based on the Focus and the Kuga/Escape. The wheelbase could still be extended in this instance to allow for enough space for passengers and cargo. Many rendering photos are showing the same front as Escape and Focus. We believe this model should have something more rugged and not be designed in the typical pickup truck style. This would mean that there are many design ideas borrowed from larger body-on-frame siblings as well as the Bronco and Bronco Sports models. This model is particularly intriguing because it has a unibody design but very closely resembles the standard Bronco. The new model will be quite attractive in any case. It will not be as large as the Honda Ridgeline but it will be compact. This is why everyone anticipates that Santa Cruz will be its biggest competitor.
Interior
The interior design would also be quite typical. The cabin design would be very similar to Escape and Foci. We also expect some slight variations in style and materials which will make the dashboard appear more truck-ish. Both single and double-cab versions of the vehicle will likely be available. The bed length will vary depending on the cabin style.

Engine
We rely on Ford’s standard units when it comes to powertrain. Two gasoline engines can power the Escape and Focus models. These are the 1.5-liter turbo-four EcoBoost units and the 2.0-liter turbo-4 EcoBoost units. The first engine produces 180 horsepower and 190-pound feet of torque. This seems quite reasonable for a car this small. For those who want a more sporty ride, there is an option for the turbo-four engine which produces 250 horsepower and 280-pound feet of torque. Both units are available in pairs with 8-speed automatic transmission.

We could also see diesel versions in Europe and other parts of the globe. These would likely use a 2.0-liter EcoBlue Turbodiesel with 150 or 190 horsepower. Finally, electrification is possible. We could see a hybrid or plug-in hybrid versions.
2022 Ford Ranchero Price and Release Date
The 2022 Ford Ranchero will likely arrive sometime in the second half of next year. The base models would cost around 20.000 dollars while the Hyundai Santa Cruz will be the main competitor.
