Will be made in Michigan.

They are currently in production around the world. Very tough and dependable. Ask The Aussie's. They love them.

Will be an "Americanized version plus in 2020 will be a Bronco based off of that chassis.

I'm talking about the one in the OP.


Also, I'm sure most of the parts will be made in Mexico.

That's strong.

It looks very similar to the GM products to me, which are nice looking trucks imo.

Looks nice to me. Really think my next truck will be a mid size. Im sure Ranger will be expensive as hell for a year or two.

This is exciting. It they are built anything like my 2000 Ranger was they will be damn near bulletproof.

Nice looking, but I found by the time you outfit a Ranger or Canyon/Colorado with the options you want, the cost rivals a full size.

This. The gas mileage isn't much better either if you go with the smaller full size truck engine say the ford 2.7 in the f150 plus it's a lot smaller interior.

On another note, if they are made and sold in Mexico why are they not at all in the USA? How hard is it to buy one there and register it in the USA? I don't want to, I'm just curious how that works and why more don't do it?

Not sure what those get but a buddy of mine got the new Colorado diesel Z71 4x4 4 door truck and is getting 25mpg... Asked what the towing rating was and he thought it was around 7600lbs. Not bad for a 4x4..
