“I don’t get why Ford hasn’t come up with something to replace the Ranger pickup.”
They did.
It’s called the “Ranger”.
They sell it everywhere. Except in the USA.
Go figure.
American and Canadian safety and emissions standards as well as the long-standing 25% import tariff imposed on non-American built light trucks prevent the T6 Ranger from being imported into North America; however, the 3.2L Duratorq is being adapted for North American consumption as a Power Stroke engine in the 2015 Ford Transit.
They might resell the Ranger. I read that Ford might. The new Ranger is as big as a F 150, so Ford thought it wouldn’t be good seller.
It might be built in Kansas City or Louisville.
