T6 is the name of a Ford Motor architecture designed to underpin real-wheel drive and four-wheel drive mid-size pickups and sport utility vehicles (SUV). It succeeds the Mazda BT-50 platform and is currently in production for vehicles sold under the Ford nameplate worldwide. Here are the Ford vehicles currently sold in the U.S. and Canada that ride on the Ford T6 platform:
In other markets, this platform underpins the Ford Troller T4, a rugged body-on-frame SUV with similar proportions as a Jeep Wrangler. Ford also sells the Everest (or Ford Endeavor) in international markets, a midsize SUV based on the Ranger that is not sold in North America.
