If Ford really will call its new electric ute the Ranchero, then it had better have style to match. It needs to do better than the Mustang Mach-E and Capri EVs.

Eyes are on the Blue Oval next week, and it sounds like the secret isn't a product reveal, rather business plans.

Ford filed a patent for the name less than a week after hinting at a new "Model T moment" for the company, possibly telling us the name of its upcoming pickup.
