Ford has limited capacity. The Ranger and Bronco share a platform, so if there is a hybrid coming to the US eventually, I'd expect it in the Bronco to go up against the 4xe Wrangler which apparently is a hot seller. I'm blown away that almost 40% of Wranglers are the 4xe variant.

Ford has a hard enough time keeping up with demand for their vehicles as-is, so I kinda understand their decision. The US is starved for good domestic hybrid trucks, though, and Ford is leaving money on the table here.

Most owners buying the hybrid drivetrain are going to opt for the 150. Being supply constrained I get it.
