Close but no.
Ford is selling the Ranger in other countries and is rolling out its new advanced diesel engine - for the rest of the world.
Still doesn’t make the cut.
Even if it did guys, they are simply going to keep raising the standards until we all have to use mass transit or drive mopeds...

Well, they will have to pry my 2001 Diesel Ford Excursion off all the little Smart cars, the Fiats and Mini-Coopers before I get rid of it!

It has the 7.3L PowerStroke Diesel and I get 22MPG on the highway and 17MPG in the city. I am going to put in straight pipe exhaust with a small straight-line muffler (one of the wife’s Christmas presents) - should give me another 6MPG on the highway and 3MPG in the city!

It rides like a dream, the family is comfortable when traveling and I can haul half the house in the back! If it was really necessary, I could TOW the other half of the house! LOL!
