Ford’s been on a tear lately, introducing several new off-road variants into its lineup and trademarking new names for future off-road models. We’ve recently seen the new Explorer Timberline as a family-themed off-roader, and there are still plenty of trademarked names yet to be revealed, such as Splash (possibly a new Ranger variant), OTX, and Warthog (possibly a Raptor-style Bronco model). CarBuzz has once again spotted a new trademark from Ford, and this one has no link to any past models.
On July 1st, 2021, Ford filed a trademark registration for the name “Rattler” with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The filing is “intended to cover the categories of motor vehicles, namely, automobiles, pick-up trucks, electric vehicles, sport utility vehicles, off-road vehicles, and their structural parts.”
