2012 ecoboost ranger

[06RangerXLT]

Now are we using the new warp scale or the old one here?

Because if we are using the old one, 44C is about warp 4.4. If we use the new one, it's only about 2.5.

oh the old one. those rubber tires cant take more then 2.8

I think if an Indian heard you call them a Pakistani; I'd feel safe saying that they would want to hurt you for it.

They used to be the same country until Independence from Great Britain after WWII. It was a split on religious grounds--Muslims vs. Hindus. Ghandi was a key player and all of those hunger strikes were against partitioning off Pakistan. Some of the most horrible things people have ever done to each other occurred then. India got nuclear weapons to point at China, so Pakistan got them to point at India.

India fought as part of the Commonwealth in both World Wars. Invaded by Japan, they still fielded soldiers on the European fronts. Their famous Gurkhas with those wicked de-limbing knives still serve in the UK army. Those are people you definitely don't want to muck with.

The R3.4bn investment by Ford was in some of the latest automotive manufacturing technologies at its plant in Silverton in Pretoria for the production of the new Ford Ranger pick-up launched at the motor show last week and its engine plant in Port Elizabeth.

The investment has increased the annual production capacity of the plant to 110 000 units, with 75 percent of this earmarked for export, and created thousands of jobs.

The new Ford Ranger is also being produced in Thailand and Argentina. Ranger units produced in South Africa will be exported to 148 of the 180 markets globally where the bakkie will be sold.

As of May 2010, T6 engineering prototypes are being tested in various countries including the U.S.[29] It is expected that the new truck will come with at least two engine choices: a 2.0 L EcoBoost four-cylinder, and the 3.0 L Duratorq diesel for models sold outside the U.S.[29]

Not to mention the unnamed source I have at Ford.

Start saving your pennies now if you want to get one.

well i personally emailed ford about the fate of the ranger a few months ago, and they confirmed its discontinued in the united states. i can even forward you the email.

I would think that ford would keep the ranger, maybe shutting down the plant to re-fit it then bringing it back with newer tech, to compete against the new compact-midsize chevy truck, and toyotas truck. if they don't well, that really sucks and there losing a niche in the market to toyota and chevy, and its not the first time I've been wrong.
and since the old factory will be closing its not like they couldn't take over a different facility.

while i love the ranger and hate to lose them, i work for chevy, and we sell colorados... soo.........ill survive. the loss of the ranger means more money for me from selling chevy, to mod my ranger. hey im happy.

Seriously? If you're going to quote something and want to maintain -any- credibility, don't strip out just the words you want when the rest of the quote would totally negate what you're trying to say.

Here's the next few lines of the Wiki article you tried to use as a reference:

As of May 2010, T6 engineering prototypes are being tested in various countries including the U.S.[29] It is expected that the new truck will come with at least two engine choices: a 2.0 L EcoBoost four-cylinder, and the 3.0 L Duratorq diesel for models sold outside the U.S.[29]

In recent years, Ranger's competitors, from the Nissan Frontier to the Toyota Tacoma have been redesigned and enlarged towards the mid-size market, leaving the Ranger the only truck in the US compact market segment. The Ranger remains a decent seller for Ford,[30] with companies like Auto Zone buying them regularly as well as those individuals seeking good fuel mileage in a compact truck (Ranger gets better MPG than any other pickup with its Mazda-derived 4cyl engine).

Ford initially considered a smaller-than-F-150 pickup truck, one based on the F-Series (following the older F-100 offering). This proposal was cancelled in favor of offering an EcoBoost engine in the F-150 product line.[31]

Ford has confirmed that they will end production on the Ranger in 2011, and have no plans to offer the next generation in the United States, which means that the T6 version will only be available outside the US. The decision as to why the Ranger will no longer be available in the United Staes is that the new global platform is simply too close in size to the F-150. Another factor is due to declining sales, as Ford's Vice President of Global Product Development, Derrick Kuzak, notes that the compact pickup market in the United States has been declining for the past 15 years, dropping from eight percent of the industry in 1994 to around two percent in 2010. The ending of the Ranger in the United States also marks a departure for Ford from the compact truck segment after 30 years.[32]

On June 22, 2011, a report from the United Auto Workers 879, which represents workers at the factory where the North American Ranger is produced, was released which stated that production of the Ranger was planned to end on December 22, 2011.[33]

Since the ranger will be discontinued and mine being the first year they were made, that should make the value go up a few bucks
