Ok... So in 1993 Ford had this horrible plan to stop building the mustang because they believed no one wanted it and customers were going to move to the probe, escort or taurus SHO if I remember correctly... sound familiar?
If it doesn't it sounds just like what Ford is saying about the ranger right now... people are going to move to the Fiesta, Focus, or to an F-150...
Well I don't know about any of you but I really like the size of the ranger... maybe it could be a little bigger in the second row, but that would be my only complaint. Only reason I didn't buy one in 10 was because it looks like it is an old design and I want something fresh and new that has SYNC and the new quality interiors we see on the other ford cars like Taurus and Fusion.
Back to what I started with though... in the early 90s with the announcement that Ford was going to kill the mustang, thousands of people wrote into Ford in protest, which eventually woke up the executives of the mistake they were about to make.
So... My thought is that we need to do this again... Lets write in and save the Ranger!
Ford has actually made it even easier than before as we don't have to buy stamps or anything now. They have a website setup for customer suggestions. I jumped onto one of already many threads that say save the ranger. http://www.thefordstory.com/your-ideas/ I just went to search ideas, typed in ranger and thumbed up all the "save the ranger" type threads that were already there. I've also started on that maybe everyone can jump to... it is just under review by Ford right now before being posted.
You can also e-mail ford at newideas@ford.com and send them a nice note saying to save the ranger...
My hope is we can do what mustang fans did 20 years ago and save the ranger!
