Bad news. No new Ranger

When trapped, animals have been known to chew off limbs to get out of traps. His point was that cutting the F-150 wouldn't improve Fords situation.

Ahh, and now it all makes sense now. Thanks brother

I tell you "history" I turned 16 in 99...My first ride ever was a 99 ranger. I rode that till it couldn't any more traded for a 04. I thought bigger was better so I went to a 05 f150 4.6,,,Too big little power, So I went and got a 06 f150 with a 5.4...Loved it but too big, and gas prices was way too high dumped it for a 08 stang. I love my stang wouldn't take anything for it. Well winters got bad so I talked dad into giving me his 120xxx mile ranger...I depend on my ranger to get me too places when weather is the worst. It hasn't let me down. I have dumped, here lately alot of money into it, but like anything else stuff needs replaced. I drive a truck for a living and I have noticed fewer and fewer rangers on the road. Then last year I was like,, were is the step side ranger? So I knew then ford was screwing around...I love the step sides. I know I am rambling here but I am really upset about this whole no ranger and especially no step side ranger......Ford I love you, but I am about to divorce your ass!

I like my 88 ranger supercab, but if Ford is only going to make that ugly little thing for over seas, then thank god, IMHO that thing is butt ugly.

Also, I'm 6'4" and I can fit in a reg cab ranger, it's not the best ride, but in my supercab ranger I have all the room I need.

I'm sticking with my little 88 ranger, I have never liked the way the newer ones looked any way, for me they are too rounded, I perfer a ranger the same way I prefer my Kenworths, Flat Front Ends.

thank you
Robert

Thank you. I love the ranger, I have always had one, literally, but in all honesty the f150 is a more capable truck for the majority of truck buyers. There is a reason why it is the number one selling vehicle in the world, and has been for what 32 years. There are more f150's sold in a year than there are australians. The ranger used to be a big seller untill Ford decided to ignore it and let it fall behind, they did a similar thing to the taurus.

But we can be happy about one thing. They killed off the taurus, and we thought that was the end of it, and look at how amazing the new taurus is. Hopefully they do the same thing to the Ranger.

The f-150 is the number one selling vehicle in the US for 23 or 24 years. The number one in the world honor belongs to a car I won't mention because some members here get diaper rash when I say the company name.

 

[Ranger Sport Honduras]

yeah toyota camry

hopefully the Ranger has the same luck Taurus had/has

Now I won't deny Toyota makes an excellent automobile. I have just never been sold on them. Its more of I do not like the styling, and I was raised on Ford. (okay I have a soft spot in my heart for Pontiac because of my grandfather, but... we won't go into that.)

I'm sorry there are cures for your illness, unfortunately it wont be another Ranger

So simply not liking the syling of a Toyota is an illness? Count me in then, IMO the styling of their trucks (especially the Tundra) seems to be based on a potato.

actually they tend to copy the F-150

They did on the previous model (it was plainly obvious) but the current one is pretty unique.

NO it meant that you need to buy a different ford and yes the tundra very closely follows the design lines of ford..and of course all current HD truck are a copy of the Dodge's

 

[Ranger Sport Honduras]

actually the new tundra resembles the F-250/350

I think the Tundra looks like a cross between an F-150 and a Dodge Ram, with a lot less F-150 and a lot more Ram than last time.

It's obvious that the Tacoma apes a lot of the Ranger's styling up front, with the two-horizontal-bar grille with the barn hinge vents on the sides. In side profile it tries to look streamlined or something. I guess.

I personally think the bulbous flares running along the side of the truck look like there's a rubber raft strapped to the sides. I guess Toyota wanted to make their Tacoma amphibious but stopped just short.
