Okay so I talked to a Ford salesman yesterday and he confirmed that the Ranger and the Bronco are returning to the American market sometime next year. So this is not simply the automotive press passing along recycled rumors as they are known to do.
We've all seen pictures by now of the new Bronco concept. It's a nice looking truck. The Ranger I imagine will be a North American version of the same Ranger that Ford has been selling overseas for quite a few years now. From what I've read, it's a nice truck and sales are quite good. It's a mid-size though, which means that the size and price will be in the same neighborhood as an F-150 short bed. (I moved to an 8 ft bed '150 over 10 years ago after my needs in a truck outgrew what my little Ranger could keep up with.) I have no word on what powertrains Ford would use in the Ranger, but I imagine it would be something they're already offering in their current line-up. How do you think it would sell? The salesman did say it will most likely be unit-body construction, which means very low GVWR's, but likely higher fuel economy. Now how many takers do we have?
