These were all over the place in Australia. If they're the same, and the seem to be, they're closer In size to the f150 than the old ranger.

They are abundant down in the Caribbean islands. I thought they were nice looking trucks. I think they were diesels because fuel is really expensive down there.

I read an article on it, yesterday. Ford and the UAW are negotiating right now. The union has to approve adding this to the line-up, and it will be at the Dearborn plant, I believe.

They're shooting for 2018, not 2016.

I think it would look a lot better without the headache bars or whatever they are

One of the dumbest ideas to come out of Ford ever.

On Tuesday, the guy doing my bedroom floor
ran his Ford truck into the back of a Toyota auto which stopped suddenly. The Ford was nearly demolished, but the Toyota, a little dent. He was stunned.

You would most likely see the same results if the trucks were reversed. Especially if the front truck had a hitch.

I'll take a 2 door manual without the bed bar things or any of the bitch boy luxury stuff like heated windows and warning lights in my mirrors. I had an 01 Ranger, loved driving that thing.

If you're getting a midsize truck, the best value and looks are the Nissan Frontier. It looks like a truck, not a spaceship.

Hey people, that pic of the new Ford Ranger is for Overseas & South American markets ONLY. If they build a new Ranger it prob won't look like this. Hopefully it'll be a true SMALL truck & not a mid sizer like the GM twins. Ford is smart & doesn't want a mid size truck to steal sales from the F150.
I just don't understand the justification in the Canyon/Colorado....it's almost as big & as expensive as a Silverado. For a couple thousand more...it would be full size for me, no brainer. I think that's how GM is marketing it too...just to get would be buyers in & sell them on the better value, full size truck.

Interesting. I'm in the market for a Tacoma next year, and would be interested in checking that out.


No comparison between a Tacoma and a Ranger. Especially a new vehicle on the market that has been discontinued for a few years.

My first truck was a '00 Ranger. Never saw the inside of a shop. Great truck.

Except the front truck was a car, without a hitch.
