And...the Bronco II....rumor has it they might be brining it back.
>>I repeat myself. There is no way in cowboy hell I would EVER, EVER, EVER buy another GM product! EVER!
Me neither. But I wish that Ford would start making a small pickup again. You can get a Ranger in other countries with turbo diesels and Eco-boost that would fill a niche in this country too.
I love my F150...2010 model. 103K miles. It’s been great.

Ford Truck Engineering is in Dearborn and they have a hand in the ex-US "Ranger" and I see them driving around ( the enganeers take them home from work sometimes ) and it is one good looking Truck in person...

You can thank your government for that. Those foriegn made small trucks could easily be imported into the US, at a pretty reasonable cost. The problem is that the “chicken tax” applies and now they are unaffordable. You’d save money by buying a full size truck!
That import tax on small trucks was the direct result of the asian countries adding a tax on imported chickens.
Tarrif/trade wars are never good for the consumer!

Cafe standards and cost killed the Ranger... that and Ford really hadn’t done a damned thing to try to update it in over a decade... but when a ranger is clocking in just shy of what a base model full sized 4x2 F150 is at, you are going to have a hard time selling em.
I liked the Ranger. Owned 2 of them.
