I know Ford says the new v6 will get better gas milage in it's full size truck than what the ranger does., Ok put that motor in a ranger and think of the gas mileage you can get then. basically I do not buy the smaller trucks because of the fuel mileage, I have a 94 Toyota 4x4 which is in my garage setting because of a rusted frame and I have my 93 Ranger which I drive daily and the frame looks brand new, Any way as I was saying I dont buy the smaller trucks because of the fuel mileage , I buy them because that is what I like, I do not need a BIG truck, nothing against the big trucks , Just not for me. I am sure a lot of Ranger owners are the same way, I think this is a bad mistake in Ford history, I hope they bring it back, I personally do not like the looks of the Ranger made for overseas. Definitely has the aussie look. I really hate to see the ranger go.
