I really thought the Ram Classic was stupid. I hated the last iteration of the 1500 and was blown away at the decision to keep it. That said, there's definitely a play to be made that actually makes a lot of sense.
How would everyone feel if Ford continued making the XL trim trucks from the previous years alongside the current lineup of F150s for a period of 2-3 years at something like 5k-10k off MSRP AND through direct sales only to maintain profitability? Throwing one engine/trans in with only a few color options and only SCAB or SCREW would be good limitations. I get that the margins aren't high to begin with on XLs. There's clearly a market gap for cheaper trucks. Ram is doing a good (and the only) job of exploiting this.
I would hope that the previous gens get any kind of reliability improvements that are economical and associated with the current gens.
