The new ranger

[schanusa]

The Ranger was a good selling mid-sized pickup. Why exactly Ford gave it the ax? Probably to cut spending. If everyone jumped up to an F150 then the Ranger production could be stopped completely and save tons of money. Its cheaper to build 5 million of one item, then two items at 2.5 million. Why can't we have the global Ranger? Again, it costs money to get a vehicle ok'ed by the government. Lots of bureaucracy and expenses in vehicle emissions and the fuel industry. In short, the move to get rid of the Ranger line and not bring in a replacement will save Ford a considerable amount of capital. Considering the way our economy and political climate in this country is going I can't really blame them.

And the current global Ranger is ugly, so American's probably wouldn't buy it anyhow. At least not the current Ranger owners. The only global Ranger I liked is the one from Australia. Photo attached.

Doesn't have to be ugly to be aerodynamic bud.

Yes I agree. But I would much rather have an ugly blue oval than a quad cab Toyota. Any day of the week.

I have no desire to have a new F-150. And if you want to talk about gay and ugly, the new f-150 is the most ugly of trucks on the road.

It looks like the Explorer Sport Trac and the Frontier had a love child......

EDIT: And for the record, damn straight I'd drive that.

In fact, I think any crew can ranger is ugly.

Not everyone likes the same stuff.

A while ago I photoshopped one of the spy photos of the global ranger. Just for the hell of it. End result is the front clip is hideous. The rest of the truck is square and looks like a truck. The front looks like a car.

Not everyone likes the same stuff.

And I never said everyone did.
I simply stated my personal opinion. It's god awful and ugly as shit. If you like it, good for you! But i sure as hell don't.

Tha Ranger is a compact truck, not a mid size. Next....Why do automakers drop car or truck lines....answer, the Ranger wasn't profitable.
The Euro Ranger is gay looking and I wouldn't want anyone seeing me in one.

You could probably hack up some exercise equipment and make it work.

HAHAHAHA! How did I miss this?!

But agreed. I saw the photo of the global ranger and immediately thought: "Thank God they killed it." The euranger looks like someone swapped the front clip of a Geo Metrosexual or a Toyota Turdcell
