If Ford kills Ranger, what will your next vehicle be?

[BlackSTX]

I don't know, I've had 4 Rangers, and every time I get rid of one, for one stupid reason or another, I eventually wish I had a Ranger and go out and buy another no matter how bad I end up taking it in the shorts on my trade.
If they don't bring us a new one, then I'll probably be leaving Ford as a customer. I have an F150 now, and while I love it, to get it to run nearly as good as my last ranger did, I had to dump over a grand into mods, and it still could use a set of gears to close the gap. It doesn't fit in my garage either which sucks in winter and when the trees are dropping sap.

Perhaps I should save the old S10 I bought this winter to be my next DD, at least I know it fits in the garage (as it's in there now) and after I rebuild it, it will be good as new.
Ford better wake up and look into the sales they could be losing by not bringing it to our market. Not everyone wants a full-sized truck. Besides, if they can boost the economy of the F150 so well, imagine what they could do with a Ranger.

One life, one ranger. Goodbye.

Well i was wanting a new ranger but since i cant get a v6 regular cab with a stick, i decided i would get a crown vic if i got a new car cause they are amazingly tough good gas mileage and very comfortable, well i cant get a crown vic now. The f150 is nice but i dont think i would want one, the 2009 i drove towed nice and the 6speed is nice for mileage and acceleration but i dont like the lack of a manual and its very bulky feeling truck,i dont really have a need for a focus or fusion and i dont like the interior of the new taurus, i would end up getting a mustang v6 if i decided to get a car because of the gas mileage and its got plenty of power to have fun with. i would get a new ram with a cummins for a truck though.

But i have a lead on a second gen for $250 and my old first gen for $600 and a another 1st gen for $200 so i would porbably just drive the older trucks. and fix them when things go wrong. plus the newer trucks feel to plasticky for me i hate it.

A Ford F150 or a classic Ford F100.

In terms of new vehicles, lets the F250.
Might switch over to the Dodge Dakota, but throw a ranger engine in for extra reliability.

dont you mean throw a ford transmission in? i had 3 dakotas 95 99 00 all died from transmissions

if the engine goes in, so does the tranny

Lol, have fun with the Dakota. Dodge was plagued with transmission issues. At least the good news is that they have strong intentions to build a Dakota replacement (according to pickuptrucks.com)

Wow what a terrible question to ask!! But it depends on when i would need a new vehicle. As of now i dont need a full size truck, and Ford is the only US company that did not sell out like the rest....as of now i would look at a Chevy or Toyota(no brand loyalty at this point). BUT if i had to go full size it would be an F-150. To the most extreme i would buy a Ranger from Australia....those are what i want anyway!! Diesel all the way!!!
