Ford is considering a Focus-based pickup for the United States, according to a report

The
Ford Ranger
finally returns to the United States, but if a report is to be believed, it will not be
Ford
The smallest pickup on this market for a long time.

Ford plans to bring an undercompact pickup truck to the US, Automotive magazine reports, citing "familiar sources with Ford's future product plan".

In a statement sent by email, Ford did not shoot down the idea, but it has not confirmed anything yet. "While we will not comment on speculation about future products, we are expanding our North American lineup dramatically with new vehicles and entering new segments with cool designs and white silhouettes that will position us for even more growth," said Mike Levine. A spokesman for Ford.

While the future Ranger will rock a traditional scale chbadis, it is thought that Ford's new small truck will instead rely on a unibody chbadis – specifically, the same unibody that will be used on the -Generation Ford Focus . Ford has already confirmed that the new Focus will only come to the United States in one flavor – the raised liftgate Focus Active, which will compete with the likes of the
Subaru Crosstrek
and
Volkswagen Golf Alltrack
.

This new subcompact van is not exclusively for the United States. It is actually a replacement for the Brazilian Courier, which was based on a 1998
shindig
platform. It's a tiny thing, with a regular cab design and a modest box at the back. Its carrying capacity is a smidge of over 1500 pounds, which is not so bad. It has not been built since 2013.

Ford was not shy about his aspiration to stop providing the United States with new
sedans
and
sedans
. The automaker has previously announced that, after the current generations of Fiesta, Focus and Fusion continue in the United States, they will not be replaced . Instead, the company will focus on expanding its truck and crossover portfolios, since that's what American consumers are buying. Do not worry, though, on
Mustang
is not going anywhere
