Is there going to be a new one anytime soon?
The new explorer looks nice, perhaps one based on it?

Re: OT - What is the story on the Ranger
Ah yes, I mean a redesign...
A bit of googling turns up all kinds of stuff, like a "world" ranger which either IS coming to the USA or IS NOT coming to the USA depending on which particular section of the error-net you are on...

Re: OT - What is the story on the Ranger
Thanks Bobby,
It will be weird if Ford abandons the small truck market...
Did you guys know you can get a Colorado/Canyon with a 5.3 this year? [insert burnout smilie]

Dunno how accurate it is for U.S. build, but Motortrend is usually pretty accurate. Doubt that looks a whole lot like the finished product will be though.

Re: OT - What is the story on the Ranger
It was my impression that the new F100 Was to be the Ranger replacement. Guess not, kinda looks like a an F150 had been raped by a Tundra and a nissan Titan at the same time and the new ranger got all three sets of genes.

I don't want to give em a heart-attack. That is what would happen if I answered the door in the buff. Heck it almost scares me to death when I step out of the shower and look in the mirror.~Mancar1~
