2023 Ford Ranger spied with a baby F-150-style front end

We've seen plenty of spy photos of the 2023 Ford Ranger, but it's usually been well-covered, or shown only in very brief glimpses in carefully edited factory footage. But a forum user at Ranger6g.com managed to spot a thinly-covered next-generation Ranger and got a great (if grainy) photo of the nose. It's our best look yet at the production truck.

The front end is clearly a mix of current F-150 and Maverick design cues. The highly sculpted grille and headlights are very F-150-inspired, and the rounded shape of the headlights seems to be more from the Maverick. The much taller headlights and grille lend the Ranger a boxier, wider, and generally truck-ier look than the outgoing model.
