Manual transmission?

No?

Oh well. More things I'm unwilling to spend money on.

Maybe special order? It'd have to be something decent as to the strength.

I don't understand...

Ford will build a 700 horse std cab truck for a niche market. But they won't build a super cab Ranger for a working guy...

They also will build a gay Ranger for a niche market of people that dont buy trucks but somehow want to put their uh... orientation on blast, but they won't put a proper transmission in a freakin truck.

Here’s my best guess:
They build the Ranger in the same plant as the Bronco. The Bronco makes them more money. The Bronco takes priority over the Ranger. The crew cab makes them more money than the supercab. Since they are limited on the number of Rangers they can produce, they’re going to produce the bigger money makers… Broncos and CC Rangers.

I'm sure it's all about dollars. But let's face it... I'll bet there are still day 1 bronco orders they haven't filled.

They're doing a pretty poor job with it.

I feel they had a really good chance to rule the mid size truck segment. They blew it.

Yes, but they made a GAY one.

Because they'll respond to thet ONE GUY in the comments section. And build him his own truck.

But none of us.
