Matthew18 · Feb 8, 2008

Well i found these pictures while surfing the web of rangers

OR Could it be

me if i was in charge at ford ill put the 1st one into production lol

It looks like a Nissan Frontier

sooner or later all cars/trucks will look the same, u will be either drivin around in a cemicircle, ors a semi oval, as they change vehicles for better aerodynamics, although idk why a truck needs ot be very aerodynamic, it shouldnt go any faster then 75-80mph anyways

Aerodynamics isn't for speed, its for mileage. The car companies have to produce cars with better and better mpg nowadays and the only way to do that as we still use our 100 year old internal combustion engine technology is to make things flow better.

I wouldnt drive the first one if it was free, and the second one looks like a little girl truck. I hope they dont make them look like that. 83-05 looked badass, 06, 07 arent bad looking either I dont see why they keeping messing around with it making the trucks look stupid like everyone elses, and what happend to that 4 door slightly wider explorer based ranger that was supposed to replace the old body style? that truck wasnt bad

Here's the Rangers offered in Australia < < clicky

They seem to offer them in more flavors over there.

ford should just redesign a first gen and try to sell it. i think it would work

holyford86 · Feb 10, 2008

the first one looks like a face lift of the current style. The bottom one definitely isn't for the US market, its right hand drive.

That body looks to big for the truck with those wheels/tires. Looks like its made of glass.

I just hope my '07 lasts a loooong time. I like it better than either of those.

Now, if I could get the turbo diesel the sell the Aussies, that would be a different story altogether! A 40+ mpg 4x4 would work for me. If the boneheads at Ford would sell them here, the Ranger model would live forever.

As far as a diesel not being sold here because of emissions, that is BS as well. I watched a thing on the Discovery Channel where Volvo (I think) puts a filter (albeit a complicated one) on the exhaust of their diesels, and they even meet the Imperial State of California emissions standards. There is no reason a similar setup wouldn't work on a Ranger.

Until then, I'll be happy with the Ranger I already have...that's paid for! :yahoo:

I'd take the first one and build a few kickass bumper for it and be done. I think it looks pretty sweet other then the car style one piece front clip....nothing the cutoff wheel can't fix though....

Trucks get about the same milage that they did 20 years ago... Unless they get have the variable engine displacement or are a hybrid.
