With a narrow width and easier rollover potential, I think a Ranger Raptor should be offered with roll tubes/bar as an option. Fashion aside, they are actually useful and you give up almost nothing in the bed. Not that a Raptor would be seen all too often on a construction site anyway.
For those curious about the T6 Ranger Double (Crew) Cab's cargo box dimensions.
Length: 1549 mm (61 in) Just over 5 feet
Width: 1560 mm (61.4 in)
Height: 511 mm (20.1 in)
Width between wheelhouses: 1139 mm (44.8 in)
I'm deployed right now in a location with the new Ranger's. We love them! As well as the F-150's. The Ranger we have has decent interior quality, rides really really well, really quite even with the big tires, and spacious for it's size. I'm 6'5 and feel comfortable even with someone sitting behind me. The design is pretty bland as all of you have seen. Some cons is that the interior as it is now wouldn't fail in a comparison to the GM trucks but I'm sure it'll be upgraded before reaching the states. And idk what size engines we have in ours but it's the base one I believe and it's pretty weak. Good for just driving around the base but pedal to the floor and it goes no where. I like the manual trans as well but I doubt that makes it stateside.

The Rangers you drive there are diesel or gasoline models?
In most markets the base engine is a 2.2-liter diesel (148hp/ 158hp), some markets have a 161hp 2.5-liter Duratec gasoline engine.
In Asia, the RWD base (commercial) model can be had with a 123hp version of the 2.2 diesel.
I know it gets clicks but photographs of camouflaged 3-year old Rangers is absolutely unnecessary at this point. It's basically a couple of grille insert with some ecoboost engines you can't see.
"...If what the launch team guy told me is accurate, the actual retooling work will take 6 weeks, then who knows how long after that they are planning on having everything up and running enough to begin production. I've heard September and I've heard November for Job 1."
Really getting excited about Ranger. It's a world class product as it is, so no worries that they need to change it up just to be different in NA where it won't matter anyway.

So frustrating when there were two 2.0 EB Ranger mules built in 2008 prior to T6 Ranger's launch.
They were Falcon attribute prototypes snuck under the radar so to speak but it's really sad that Ford
didn't try the market with a 2.0 EB gasoline Ranger, I'm sure that it would have made a fine truck.

Majority of the T6 Ranger's market (including Australia) prefers diesels for pickups but a 2.0 EcoBoost might work as a standard engine for the US-spec Ranger.
The Chinese-spec Everest SUV is powered either by a 2.0 EcoBoost or a 2.2 Duratorq TDCi.
*The 2.5-liter Duratec-equipped base/commercial Ranger variant is for select markets like the Middle East.
