Ford is supposed to make a new Ranger at the Romeo, MI plant. They will also produce a new Bronco. I’m not sure either of these will be big sellers. Rumors on Bronco is they are watering it down from the 60’s styling and it will be more grocery getter than off-Road capable. Ranger is strange - the small pick up lines have gotten bigger in size. Instead of the ranger, why not buy an F-150 with excellent safety and value?

I’ve been waiting for the new Ranger to come out. But I’ve read that it will be larger than the old Ranger. I’ll pass on that.

I really don’t understand Ford’s thinking here. A new Ranger the size of the old one would have the small-truck market all to itself.

I see a lot of old Rangers in my area being used as commercial delivery trucks. Pepsi especially. Those trucks are showing there age. Like me, those folks want a truck. But a small one. Not a big F-150.

I’d love to see the 60s style Bronco body style come back.

Lately, I’ve been seeing more full sized ones on the streets here on Columbia.

I need to change the oil on my 79 Blazer.

Here is what the Outside of the America's version currently looks like which they will Americanize. I have seen these on the roads w/ manufacturer plates and she's a looker IMHO. The question begs, will the "Bronco" version be a true 2 door, or have the slightly funky 1/2 suicide door like the Toyota's and Honda's do that make it easier to get to the back seat.
