Bad news. No new Ranger

[F350none]

I heard (Don't know how true it is) that Chevy was dropping the Colorado and Dodge the Dakota. Someone has to pick up their market share. Wish Ford would keep the Ranger and try. Guess I'm not surprised. It must be the guy that made the decision to get rid of the Taurus a few years ago that is making the decision. They realized their mistake about it maybe they will again.

This will be the most stupid thing ford as done but if it's true boys and girls hold on to your rangers hopefully it's a lie

what are they going to do stick us with this

I do not think These global warming People let this come out everyone needs a good gas saving truck

why can't they wait till 2013 to kill the ranger , at least give it a full 30 year production run , make a special 30th anniversary edition , and send it out with a bang

Here's the silly part of this. My 94 Splash 2wd, 4.0L 5sp with 192,000 + miles on it. Not anywhere near stock (have everything you can throw at the external engine stuff besides a super charger). I got to checking MPG the last month or so for laughs since I haven't done that in years and found the combined adverage to be 20.984. Now this is not granny poot driving either. I treat it like a light hot rod. Now I'm talking tech that's been around at least 20+ years and getting a hair under 21 MPG with no conserving.

Hello Ford! If I can do this with a hopped up 15 year old truck why not make a new one??? Make it slightly smaller than the current Tacoma and poof! $$$$$ in yer pockets, happy customers and a big o'l root in the tail of the other guys!

To be honest, The whole Ranger thing is just speculation still. No one knows what's going on with the truck and Ford is being as quiet as a mouse. I think Ford and Nissan should team up like what's been roumered before. Nissan needs a new Titan and Ford needs a new Ranger. The Frontier is an amazing truck and quite possibly my next vehicle purchase unless I get a better deal on a new 5.0 Mustang or a F150. But like I said before, who knows what's going to happen with the truck.

Before anyone makes any negative remarks about Nissan and Ford teaming up, they did with some damn good results in the late 90's with the Quest/Villager/Windstar.

Just tell me where to sign and whatever else I can do to help save the Ranger. My Rangers and my B4000 are members of my family and I want to be able to add new ones for years to come!

I hope they keep making them. I have two (93 ext. cab 2wd and 94 ext. cab 4wd) and my dad has one (91 ext. cab 4wd).

new truck in 2012 people...evan sooner i think

 

[MountainMike]

Yeah I think we may be misinterpreting that article. We aren't getting the globaal Ranger but we could very well get a NA Ranger again like we have now.

my nieghbor works at the minneapolis ranger plant and he says after 2011 they are retooling for some sort of small compact car, hes thinking its for the new 2012 festivas, and correct me if im mistaken i believe the minneapolis plant is the only US ranger plant right?

My Ranger was built in Edison, NJ.

I prefer the titan to the f150

My Ranger was built in Edison, NJ.

The Edison plant is no more. They stopped making trucks and closed the door a few years ago. They demolished the plant over 1 year ago.

I like the Titan quite a bit to be honest. For a fullsize truck I'm torn between the Titan and the F150. The Titan is no longer as problematic as it was in 04-05. The truck is great and I work on em almost everyday. It has great power and is a decent size (better than the bloated Tundra, sorry, I just don't like the Tundra too much). But Nissan has had the Titan as is with little to no cosmetic or mechanical changes for 6 years now. Nissan was trying to get in bed with Dodge but that didn't happen. Nissan recently said they're either gonna find someone for the next gen Titan or go at it alone again. So, this is another thing that's up in the air as the Ranger.

I love my Ranger, but if its discontinued I'll just have to get a Frontier or Tacoma as my next newer truck. They aren't terrible trucks. If I get another used truck it will be a F250 with the 7.3L PSD, Ranger wasn't necessarily in my plans unless they roll out a diesel. If the European Ranger were brought to the states and the manual transmission is kept I might like it.

thanks for helping the big 3 when they need it most.....
