Long story. But rumors were potential merger with VW. Or at least, heavy cooperation on platforms.
Currently VW Amarok is a Ford Ranger. Ford is helping VW further with commercial vehicles. In return Ford is getting EV platforms VW was already ahead on developing. Pandemic and other delays messed up product timelines though. To the point Ford decided recently they’d rather not be so dependent on VW.
But for next few years, if Ford releases a small EV, you can pretty much bet it’s a VW MEB chassis underneath.
