That's good but, where'd you get your information? I think the Ranger would sell real great considering it's reliable and economical. Maybe Ford will surprise us all and redesign it or something. Who knows though.

i think it might be the price. around here they dropped like crazy in the last couple of years. they start at like 15k, you can get a base model 4x4 for 19k. or you can get a fx4 with leather, auto, fancy stereo for 28k

Passing by the local Ford dealer, I saw two 2.3L base models (but with air and auto) marked at $11,899. So I traded my '88 2.3L base model for one of them!

I have yet to sell a ranger. we don't even have any new ones in stock. we have a super clean 94 old man truck, 2wd 3.0 automatic, with only 88k on it. its been sitting here for awhile now. people buy 1/2-1tons all the time so they can dd them 400 miles a day.

Near?
I haven't seen a Ranger commercial in more than a year. And even then it was tacked on the tail end of one that mainly aimed at F-Series.

I counted 36+ 2008 Rangers at work today. From base reg cab to loaded FX4 and every colour.

My g/f just bought a black 2008 4x4 Ranger with a 5-speed, and an 8.8 with 4.10s.

I don't know why but the 08 Ranger 4X4 with a manual trans seems to be rare around here.
I have yet to see a new FX4 with one.

I got my 05 brand new for around 11 with trade on my old B3000 (got $1,000 for that, looking back I should have just kept it).Passing by the local Ford dealer, I saw two 2.3L base models (but with air and auto) marked at $11,899. So I traded my '88 2.3L base model for one of them!

I've tried to talk a few people into Rangers, but they all seem to want a 4.0 and good gas mileage, when I tell them they can't have both, they shy away.

Yeah it's pretty wierd: my new one gets a good solid 24-25mpg in my mixed driving, has plenty of pep too: but somehow people want bigger stuff that they THINK has more power or sophistication, OR want a hybred that doesn't give them anything they claim to!
