If the Ranger lives on redesigned how will it differ?

That's what I was thinking it should be like. I don't love all aspects of the new F-150, but it looks better than its competition.

Personally I dont really like the new F-150's that much other than the easy access steps they built into them. The 08 Ranger is also nice, but I think they should try a different angle on the styling of the '10 Ranger.

As far as newer Ford vehicles that could be used for inspiration for styling, these are a couple current/future offerings that would make for a decent looking future Ranger...

Current SportTrac

European CUV Ford Kuga

I certainly think something based off of one of these models could make for a good looking new Ranger.

I wouldn't complain about a limited fat fender version!!! in the front.

The Kuga isn't on my list of attractive Ford vehicles...

they should try restyling the GEN 1 and GEN 2 body styles, since older cars are making a comeback.

A restyled body based on a first gen would be very interesting.

Why not take all this ecoboost technology and apply it to the trusty ole 5.0. would fit in our current size trucks. Gives us more power, better fuel and easier to get down the trails with. My 2 pennies.

Those look like butched up toyota's.
Which is about like being the smartest of the retarded.

+1! The gen 2 is my favorite!

i would like to see the ranger a little bigger like how yota made the tacomas bigger. i would like to see options like a v8, i think it would get as good or better mpg than the 4.0- personally i think 19 highway is pretty poor, its not any better than the full size with a v8. i would also like to see options like bigger tires, solid axles, lockers, lower gears, winches, 4 doors. you know what, screw fuel mileage altogether, it wouldn't be a problem if those liberal morons would start drilling in the us. it would create jobs and lower our gas prices at the same time. hope i dont offend anyone, thats just my opinion.

A bigger ranger is allready made...... it's commonly known as the F-150.

I thought it's small size, was what gave it the Niche' in the market. A v-8 would be awesome.
Also a bulletproof trans, to ge the faith back that their crappy auto's have cost so many sales.

I don't want to see them increase the size of it other than the room in the cab. They definitely lose a load of sales just because of the back seats.

 

[BlackSTX]

Definitely keep it smaller in size, everybody keeps trying to make smaller vehicles larger until they all of a sudden become a full-sized vehicle. The Tacoma got too big; keep the next ranger closer to the size it is now, just make more interior space available so us taller people don't have to recline the seat to have head room. Make a regular cab similar to the F150....but without the rear doors...just give it more room like a shorter 2 door super cab. After all, part of the reason for a small truck in being able to maneuver into smaller areas.

They need to make a crew cab! Everyone one makes a crewcab but the ranger. I would never buy a sport trac because I think its ugly and a 4 foot bed is ridiculous. Actualy I see very few on the road. Ford needs to dump the sport trac and make a crew ranger. also they need to gay it up with excess chrome and prettiness(only because thats the way cars are going nowadays it will boost sales). AC needs to be a standard feature(once again like damn near every other vehicle) those changes will make ford a lot of money and make many people happy
