Hoping that REO Trucks start-up actually happens.
They hired Frank Stephenson to design their new vehicle.
Body on frame.
180" (15') mini truck
unlocked gas engine , and no subscriptions
6 speed manual
Real 4 Wheel Drive
Tow rating of 4500# with the auto trans option
A/C
Bench seat
Crank windows
Analog gauges, switches and knobs
And the only screen is supposed to be for the mandated back up camera.
Most all of the components are to be"off the shelf"
currently available and DOT and EPA approved.
Kind of a Franken truck that will be assembled in Dallas.
Design to be unveiled in late November.
"Rolling chassis" to be available for all the big auto shows starting in January.
Promising 20 parts availability and designed for the enthusiast that
wants to customize their ride.
This is the truck Ford said they were going to build back in 2019, but
they built the Maverick.

There are some interesting interviews on you tube also.
AI rendering, maybe something like this ??
Or maybe like a 1984 Ford Ranger ??? ....(minus the oil slick in the photo)
